Default Just drop about 1.75

I just lowered mine this past Saturday....Eibach Pro-Kit and Tokico Illuminas...
You will have to drop it Just see below.....go with 18's 17s too small and price difference is that bad.....

Pro-kit and Illuminas gives great ride and handling....Unf$%king real handling!!!!......Might drop next spring with the Sportline kit
Believe me you do not want to be a member of the 4x4 accord club........

I know how it is, when I got mine painted I was in school. I would just not put it on until it's painted.

But for sure post up some pics when it's done.

This is in reply to the dude with the red accord with the 18's above. Nice car man. I have a few questions though. How much did u drop it with the 18's on there and do they ever rub? Car looks real good like that. I'm asking this cuz I have a 97 Accord SE and I am putting 18's on it but I wanna know the right amount to drop it without rubbing the fenders. Would 18's with a 40 profile tire and dropped 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the back look good?? If u can answer this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Oh, I know where to get all the pix at. Yeah she lives near me here in NC. I love her car. It looks awesome. Thats about the same look I am going for cuz thats the same exact car I have. But yeah, so if I put 18's with 40 profile tires on there and lowered it 2.2 in the front and 2 in the back would it rub any?

I think he may have been teasing you a bit about having someone else's car in your avitar lol.

Rubbing will be dependant on your wheel offset. Tire width will also affect rubbing to a degree, but offset is the biggie from my experience.

On the 6th gens, it's ideal to have at least a 45 offset with a 7.5" wheel. I would assume the 5th gens are similiar.
