I have a hard time believing that they are that weak. people also say the front ones have problems and they slip which in fact is they way they are adjusted, if you want to adjust them all the way out you need to modify the car.

I'm on Tein HA full coilovers, and am at the bottom of the coil. I measured, and its a 3" drop. I personally find it to be perfect! I drive daily, and don't have any problems on the roads. Driveways are a little harder, but usually work out fine. When there are 4 people in the car, the tires might rub in the fender well. Also, speedbumps are sometimes hard, but usually just hit the plastic mud flaps. Heres a pic:
Its lower in person. The front lip has 5" clearence from the ground. I think either the muffler piping or the tow hook are the lowest part of the car. Also, when the tires are turned, theres about 1/2inch inbetween the tire and the fender. Very close. I think all Accords should be this low. I have no finger gap, and love it! When I see an accord 2" dropped, or around there, it just doesn't seem like theres a drop at all when you can see fender gap.

Not to me, rides like stock. Probably cause of the Tein HAs on the softest setting. I rarely bottom out on a normal street. I love it. Want a front lip though. Greddy is #1 on my list.

hmmmmmm i guess its the pic but ur car doesnt seem that low at all. even with my 17's on my car and no kit i couldnt get my car towed and the cross bar is only 4" tall and it wouldnt go under my front bumper. so i have less than 4" of clearance u have the factory lip on ur car in that pic and if u have 5" of clearance ur car is sitting higher up. with my 16's (stock rims) i literally am tucked under my fenders
