how low to go

[Tatersplz]

I was thinking about lowering my 91 accord ex. And i do not know a good height to go to. Any input would be awesome

[cb7538]

a good size to lower it is to go with a 1.7 front and 1.8 rear (but thats just me) and 45 tire to cover the gap but really depends on what your trying to do the must your gonna get is about 3" all the way around unless you go with a lowering kit then you take the chance of bending tie rods Cb7 you can get very low

and 45 tire to cover the gap

"45" is just a percentage. Without knowing the width of his tires, and the diameter of his wheels, you can't possibly make an educated recommendation.

How far to lower your car is mostly a matter of personal preference, and can't really be decided for you. We can certainly make recommendations though, based on a little more information. A couple key questions come to mind:
- What is most important to you: performance, driveability, appearance?
- What size wheel/tire will you be running (this affects the ride height)?

ok i might as well jump in this because i have a 92 LX with 214/45/17 and cant decide with what size of drop i want but what i do want is performance, driveability, appearance so what do you guys think? i was thinking about a 2.5 drop all around or a 3 drop all around oh and i dont want it to scrape when i have people in the back seat thanks for your opinion guys sorry tatersplz for asking this in your thread

Well im on a 2.5 drop and im loving it on 15s on 205/55/r15's . This is good for an everyday driver theres really no need to be slammed unless you like bottoming out your car and causing damage. I go well over potholes no real nead to come to a dead stop and try to angle all the time. It feels good to go over speed bumps and not having to actually comes a dead stop or have a big fear of going down roads that are seriously beat to death. At the same time im low enough to present i have a upgraded suspension. And it handles really well.

Hey sparkle, how much differently do you have to drive with a 2.5" drop compared to stock height? Do you have to drive at a big angle over speed bumps?

yea i was wondering this too...just ordered my 15'' ITR's in Championship white and im going with Kuhmo Ecsta ASX 195/60/15. Someone else on here had like 225/50/15 or something like that but i cant find those sizes anywhere but i basically dont want lowpro tires i want a lil thickness to them so as not to worry about pot holes AS MUCH. Still going to avoid them. I was going to do a 1.5 at the most...maybe 2 i dont want anything more then that...i just want to get rid of wheel gap but im all about ride comfort. Performance is good, looks is good but i want it to drive good and all so my susp was going to be eibach pro and KYB AGX so with that setup yall think it will ride comfy? sorry for stealing yo thread.

hey sparkle you got pics of ur wheels mang?

not at all..you can go right over the normal big ones..you need to slow down over the short steep ones, though, or else you will hit the bottom of the car right behind the front wheels when you slam back down hard..

i have 215/45 17s on the cb7 with omnipower coilovers, camber kits, and rolled rear fenders. as you can see its slammed. it rides excellent.

full coilovers dont have that up and down movement. but yes, anything over an eibach pro kit will have a hard recoil.

on the cd7 i have 205/60 15 i think. and yes an eibach pro kit with kyb agx will ride great. leave the rear soft. stiffen the front. that kit will only close half the gap. my 2.5" h&r race springs with kyb shocks barely closed more gap than half.

[Davids92Accord]

hey what brand are factory shocks are they also KYB cause i checked mines out and they are KYB?
