Well, have not done much but got her shaved, cant roll, you will get a dimple effect on them, cause of the tabs. Maxed out the front for lowering, need shorter springs to go lower (yes this is my daily driver). Now saving up for some new and aggressive wheels

Love that drop!!! way too low for me though, your car is pretty much the target that I would like to achieve (the picture when you had the BC Coils first installed, minus the fender shaving)

Thanks, keep it up, i love your thread man, but my back was a PIA so i got the back installed professionally.

This is the clearance I have, this is under the driver side, so it isnt even the lowest point haha

Hey Dixon, small question for you, how long, are the swaybar endlinks for the front and rear? are the rears longer than the front, or are they shorter than the front?

when i installed my coilovers, i noticed that the front swaybar endlinks were pretty long, and the rear swaybar endlinks were short.

Is this correct for our model year?

Yea, I know the fitment is bad, I was test fitting it and seeing how it would look, now I need to mod it to fit correctly

Nice sound man, it defiantly reminds me of my old Windom with straight piped exhaust.

So that front lip, What year Accord was it for originally? I'm guessing the 98-02 Sedan... Thats what I'm seeking for my 92 ES

or this one...
