Just wondering how is the ride and how well do the shocks hold up with those? I have to say that is about the max I would want to drop my car. I sould have my cash back again for my springs very soon. Darn emegencys around the house keep on taking it. I was thinking tien and that is what even showstoppers said to get. If I can make a EP meet this weekend with some guys from Chicago area I might be able to make up my mind then.

Thanks for the pictures. Hondaman love the rims thinking of getting those for my silver EP in the same look and color.

is there any need for a camber kit with those springs? btw, your cars look great, time to lower my monster truck!!! lol

A camber kit is needed for the rear (wise for proper tire wear), but not needed for the front.

I am going to get a camber kit with any drop I do because if I take it out on the track I am going to adjust the camber for better runs. I just have to figure out a way to mark the bolts so that I can get them back to the street use position.

They do bottom-out over harsh bumps, but they all do I'm sure with stock shocks and I did not cut the bumper stops...not recommended.

Yikes! Thanks for pointing out those two problems, i was going to just lower my car on springs like everyone else has done...But i think i am going to do it the non-cheap way, and lower it with springs and new shocks...The last thing i want is driving to work and blowing my shocks...

Its like DAMN YOU HONDA, why couldnt u lower this car straight from factory...Its like NO1 from honda engineering saw that this car was WAY to high on the stock rims?!

Honda shoulda either kept the car this hight, and given bigger rims, or lowered it, no1 thought this car looked like a minivan?! :)

Well i guess i am off to showstoppers to order springs AND shocks...
Damn i hate the pain of Modifications! :)

AHHHH! I just called a my mechanic to see what the damange would be to drop my car and put on the springs and struts....all i can say is FUK that! Ill do that sht myself, even if it takes ALL day, or even 2 days, the pain of paying the below price is worse than taking 2 days to do something!

They wanted 450.00 and that includes the alignment...

thats just for the labor!
