hey man im gonna give you a heads up... your gonna have alot of people telling ya to research. all you gotta do is read through the threads and u will find alot of different shit about lowering your car and which brands are cheapest and best.

If you drop your car 1-1.5", you'll probably only need to get an alignment done. If you drop anything around 2" and up, you're going to need to get a camber kit to align the car properly so you don't chew up the inside edge of your nice expensive tires.

Cant do that here bro, but it never hurts.
Many people have lowered their accords, some up to 4 inches if you really wanna slam the ground, Look on peoples profiles with rims/lowering kits, and see what kind of options you have... in the mean time, i have to go wash my hands cause im tying with grease all over them :P
Many tire sizes will vary, the wider you go, the taller it will sit, the lower you can possibly go, but keep in mind, lowering your car on old suspension is NOT a good idea, getting some bushings first and doing that would be a great precaution.

slick ride, is that yours? If so, drop it 1.5 inch front, 1.75 rear. it will make it look really agressive.


Is that what it turns into!? :O

last night we droped my 92 ex coupe 2" in the front and 1.75" in rear. DIdnt work out my tires int the rear rubbed like a bitch great ride but when i turn the weight in the rear flexes to much and it rubs. my tires are 215 60r 17's so i think that is the problem i can only fit about a pinky inbetween the tire and guard. "not good"

you should be running a 40-45 series tire on a 17" wheel... 215/45/17

How much of a drop will just alright and not hit the ground?

you need to drop a good 6" to reach ground... a basic 2" drop is perfect for street.

You dont have to get an alignment all the time. Some people can correct how the wheel sits by changing the offset of the tire they purchase so it sits flush.
