Steelies don't look half bad on a lowered 3G.

Is it me, or do you need a camber kit in the back? Or is it like that because you're on the curb thing in that pic? How low did you drop it?

Looks tight man.

Looking good man. Like you said earlier when i was talkin to ya, just get some rims and youll be set, even tho your steelies dont look too bad.

haha to be honest i dont know how much i dropped it

the front has 2 finger gap.. its dropped all the way in the front the coilover perch that is while the rear is all the way up.. because the coilover sleeve sits into the strut.. once i adjust it the back will be about 1 finger gap instead of half a finger squeezed in there.. lol..
actually my rear is fawking awesome for how low i have it .. i do have camber issues but only 1-2 degrees nothing serious.. and yes since its on the curb it adds more to that if u look at the 7th pic u can see that the tires dont stick out more than the mudflaps like some people do when they slam their car

by adjustment i mean adding something so that the coilover sleeve sits were its suppost to instead of INTO the strut.. but i may just get 90-93 accord rears to solve my problem.. hehe..
there AIM industries coilovers 1-3" drop 116shipped
also known on here as lowboyz.. but these are the sleeves not full bodied..

lastly (PHEW)
Ride quality! before anybody asks lol
i was expecting it to bounce more..
since my front end is dropped to its maximum its stiff as hell..
if u push down on the fender u barely get 1" of moment..
the bumps u do feel like expected but my front isnt bouncy..
now my rear.. since i have it raised all the way..it has some bounce to it but u cant notice it unless the rear is bouncing by itself
EXAMPLE.. going into the driveway the front will go up fine no bouncing but once the rear goes up by itself it bounces 2-3times depending how fast u go up..
which im ok with..
driving around and cornering.. OMG.. big improvement.. i have 0 body roll lol.. its stiff enough to take corners damn well even if there bumpy.. which is fawesome..

my rating
7 outta 10
price was great
i didnt get shit with them except the same sheet they have on their website..
and they had metal shavings on them from making them i guess
but the handling improvement was decent enought to overlook that..
oh dont be shocked if u buy them for the rears.. the coilovers are 4.5"s :ugh:
yes thats right 4.5"s which is why i think i might go to the 90-93s 7.5" rear.. to make up for the tuckness into the strut.. OK IM DONE! SHEESH

Steelies look really good on a slammed hatch, all you need is a lip or a bigger front bumper to even-out that front end. The car looks great though man.....

haha thanks everyone..!! sheesh! i didnt expect this much wuve!!!
anyhoot. the doors i did myself.. spray paint.. yes.. u read right.. looks damn good ey? i took my time.. hahaha..
im thinking about maybe using a 4th gen accord front bumper.. and seeing how well that looks.. the 90-91s so i can keep the small bumper lights instead of the longer ones from the 92-93.. if i could make the 90-91s look right.. ill add the mugen look alike lip.. bwhaha.. my front end would be so low.. anyway..
thanks again for all the compliments!

Nice work on the doors. I could never tell from those pics that it was done by spray paint. How did you get them to come out so well? How much time did you take on them?

well.. i removed the doors.. masked off what i didnt want painted a certain color..
used spray paint and did light coats.. seriously.. LIGHT COATS PEOPLE!!
then used my air compressor with the air gun to dry the coats faster and more evenly.. im gonna redo them again though.. in all black.. since thats all that ill have interior wise.. ive/im stripping the rear of the car.. for some weight redu
