RSX in SCC gained 19.7 at the wheel with a DC Sports CAI. But I'm not trying to be an ass just say that CAIs can do a lot and the reason I like to use Flywheel HP's is because most people don't know their car's HP at the ground... and it's easier to compare to new cars like I said.

:bs: even if you rotate your tires often they still wear out on the inside faster if you're lowered more than 1.5" w/o a camber kit.

That's what I say... I was considering lowering but to me it's not smart/worth it unless you dish out the money for everything... Springs, Struts, Camber Kit, Alignment. Which for me was about $900 bucks professionally installed... with good parts from good manufacturers. I decided I would rather have that grand towards a better car... IMO 1995 Accords are great... but only worth putting so much money into... they arent race cars.

you can cut that price pretty much in half if you do the work yourself. to me that's the fun of fixing up a car.

I was looking at Tockico Illuminas, Eibach Springs, and an Ingall's Camber Kit.

a nice DIY mod is painting the OEM skirts and lips. Thats what I did to mine but i had it professionally done b/c I had other stuff done at the same time. To me it makes a BIG difference, and if lowered it should look really nice. And shouldn't cost much if you DIY. Clear it out with some xenons and drop it, and it should be really nice.
Accords weren't meant to go fast unless it has extensive mods and that means extensive $$$, which is why my only mods are mainly for looks, sound, and increase gas mileage.

damn... how low are you dropped? i'm on neuspeed race springs and my **** don't rub at all with the camber kit. plus my tires are directional so i can't have them remounted in the opposite direction. that $30 every 2-3k miles adds up. i'd rather run the camber kits and rotate the tires every 5-10k miles myself like they're supposed to be and put that denero elsewhere. but that's just me.
