After Tokico shocks, and Eibach 1.5 inch lowering springs!!! Also the camber was about -2.5 degrees off all round. I put a camber kit, $200 on, and it's back to normal, which will save my tires alot!!! It is never worth it to lower car, if you don't plan on doing it right!!!!!

Oh, Don't worry man, those are definately on the way! ;) :D
And bitesize, how do those Eibach springs ride? I have the Tokico blues, so I am thinking I don't want to go really low, and I like the look of that 1.5" drop. Especially cuz I will have 17's. And which Eibachs are they?

Here is my setup Koni's with H&R 1.5 Springs with 17" Racing Harts

The rear would be slightly higher without the weight of my system and battery back there so the front is a more accurate picture of the actual drop. I am going to switch over to Ground Controls this summer though so i can make changes as needed.

Mine are Eibach Sportline 1.5 inch drop springs, and they ride pretty stiff, good for cornering. I love them!

sorry it took me so long to check back. the dropzones were easy to put on and they are easy to adjust. basically the only issue is the stiffness. they have a pretty stiff ride, so u cn fell every little bump, and u have to go slow over bigger bumps and railroad tracks. it is good to have the stiffer springs if u plan on auto cross and such.

Hmmm... I am now contemplating the drop I was going to go with, I may go lower now. But today I was looking at my car, and if I actually drop it 1.5" then it may be the perfect height, I think I could just get 4 fingers in between the fender and the tire, so, we will see.
I dont want it to ride like shit, and I don't want camber problems.
I should be getting my rims in the next month or two, so I have some time to decide... and suggestions?

Looks good, Mr. Stance. Needs the wheels to be balanced with stick-on weights for the outside, though. Wheel weights ruin the look of wheels, especially something like those Corvaccord wheels.
Early C3 'Vettes came with wheels that look exactly like ours, I think even made by Enkei, the manufacturer of most Honda wheels including those.

Corveccord... Never knew that but noticed the resemblence of the style. Kinda Cadillcedes Toronado look to them too:lol:
Thanks for reviving the thread Stance_it !! Looks good
