Default How low for stock EX rims??

I have a 94 Accord and sittin on stock EX rims, what is a good drop for these rims, and can you post some pics?? I was gonna go with an Eibach pro kit but i dont think 1.5" drop will be enough for it to look good, any suggestions are welcome, thanks

I have prokits and tokicos dropped with stock rims and looks great. Kinda a factory sport package look. The more sidewall you have the lower the car will look. If you put 17s w/ a pro-kit drop it won't look as low.

If you don't have to contend with snow or poor roads then go for H&R sports which lower a tad more, that would probably look the best. Just don't slam it on stock rims, IMO that looks ghetto.

I have a 93 EX with stock rims, and I'm thinking of going with Eibach's Sportlines. It think the extra almost 1/2 an inch more than the Pro Kits will be worth it for a little loss in comfort. AccordSleeper, good point about the sidewalls. Those I definitely have -- no mistakin' for low pro's here! That's one good reason to console my inability to purchase new wheels...

Definitely get the sportlines. I went from prokits and to sportlines (then again I had kyb agx with sportlines and stockies with prokits), and not only is the ride better for me but the car looks so much better.

Forget all that, get some TEIN HAs, and put it on the lowest setting. I did that, and am dropped 3". Looks bad ass! Tucking all around.

You know the sportlines are designed more for look than performance. The prokit are actually a stiffer spring. weird, huh most would think the sportlines would be better.

Anyways if you do need to drive in snow stick pro-kits and agx's that will be good. I wish I went with agx's. You may also want to consider Apexi WS coilovers or Ground control with tokico Illuminas or Koni yellows. After 2 winters, I kinda wish I could raise it up for those bad storms.
