I used sprint 2.25 lowering springs with tokico blues for my suspension. The front is a little bouncy so I will eventaully try to get Konis. The prelude arm conversion worked out perfectly for my front alignment but the rear is pretty off so I will need a rear camber kit. The first pics are also before I got rear discs, black out bumper trim and front lip.

That's pretty nice, but the pic with the HYPER GREEN GRASS was very distarcting, I saw no car in theat picture, just blindingly green grass.... oh so much grass....

It would have looked far better with 17"s and a 1.75" lowering job IMO. Very, very nice car and yard lol. How much did it cost to tint your windows? I am planning on getting it done, but I don't know how much to expect to pay...

Thanks for the comments. Besides some H4 conversions and clear bumper lights I am done with the exterior. I will now focus on the engine. I have been offered a B16 with a complete build up for a turbo but I am leaning toward the B20.

man it looks 100% better now that you dropped it.
Too bad when you dropped your car it made your grass die a little bit, but hey you gotta make sacrafices in everything you do.

That looks awesome. I'm getting the same springs here shortly and will go through with the lowering sometime in March. Just gotta wait until I'm out of snow weather. Now I'm even more anxious to do it.

it looks good, but you may want to hit the alignment shop, you have some very nasty caster on the front.

What is caster? I know what angles camber and toe effect but not caster please explain.

cspeed
01-10-2004, 08:30 AM
caster is the angle that the wheel has to the forward and aft of the car...
for example, when you look at your picture, the front rim is almost rubbing the mudflap and there's a ton of room in front of it (in the wheel well). this mostly affects turn-in.

im not the best at explaining things unfortunately...sorry

very nice!! thats the Laurel Blue color isnt it? Same as mine. Those pics are inspiring. How much was the total price for the tokico blues. I'm planning the Neuspeed/Tokico combo. You wouldn't have any 89 LXi stock rims to put on it do you? I was wondering how it will look with the stock lxi rims (cuz thats what i have haha) Great pics. Very very inspiring.


I plan to order my tokicos and neuspeeds when i get my money in a couple months. Thanks for the pics so i dont have to imagine a blue accord lowered!!! glad someone else has thats good color. :)
