D-ropped!

[Acid X]

Yip! I dun it now! I dropped it 2.25" from stock height. Unfortunately the place where i took pics wasnt very well lit.. And, well, as you will see, i had to lighten them and they didnt come out all that well. Anyway, wa-la!

awesome man, looks great!

[1987HondaAccord]

dude, that's LOW.

[mkymonkey]

so what are you dropped on? tokicos?

[Acid X]

tokicos and dropzone springs..

And its not THAT low. It clears everything i've driven on, and i've driven some pretty steep stuff since i did it. :)

[halxi]

watch your rear struts.

I think i blew one of mine and now my left rear is riding about 1" lower then my right, looks like i have a flat, and my tire rubs on the inner wheel well now. Gotta check the strut and such when i get time :(

Looks damn good though, i love the feeling of new struts/springs going in a car :)

[Acid X]

They're brand new tokico's, so they should be alright.

More pics!

really sweet.

[bobafett]

looks really good. i think i may end up with similar wheels when the weather warms up. :)

yeah its looking good. i hate how the front always has more gap than the rear, that drives me INSANE

[bullard123]

Did you get camper kits? My front is off -1 (which isn't too bad) but my rear is off by -2. I have camper kits for the rear just need to install them.

[AccordDX86]

What the hell? I put big tires on my car and they rub. How does anybody drop their car?

Pinchfork mod, bobafett. I did it, brings it right where it should be;) . And still have the same ride quality.
I only drag on big speed bumps!

[gp02a0083]

i sti anything over 2" for a drop is too much , but then again thast just me id probally do a 1" or something not to drastic

[adams86lxi]

car looks sick bro!

[3gn86lxi]

Nice....better pics though.

[truetune]

2"+ drops look hawt. soon as I get some prelude arms Im goin as low as I can without scraping.

[od2681]

nice and clean

[Justin86]

looks realy good with those wheels. Make sure you get adjustable arms for the camber, you will get up tires soooooo damn fast at that drop. Mine lasted about 10K miles at 2.25" drop with no camber adjutment.

yeah, i have ground control coilovers now, so its no biggie, but i really should do the pinchfork mod just on principle. i will probably do it when i upgrade to 89 hubs and do the brake swap. :D

[HondaBoy]

yeah, that looks good with those wheels and now with a drop.:thumbup:

[Acid X]

Thanks guys. Put lots of work into getting her this purdy. :)

Anywho, i need to wash it though. Haven't washed it in a while, and these rims get way dirty because of brake dust! It sucks.

[danronian]

I so regret not lowering my old accord. I lowered my teg when I got it on DZ coilovers and I absolutely love it. I had the tires for 5k mi and the backs wore totally even and the fronts have slight wear on the insides. Go onto honda-tech and you'd be amazed the tire wear alot of people get out of a good alignment. Around here they charge at least $200 alone to adjust the camber kits on a car. For me tires a little sooner are much cheaper than buying the camber kit and the adjustment cost, and on top of that once you get the camber kit your tires will rub more on the outside of the car than before. But damn, your lowered accord makes me want to go back in time and lower mine about 3 inches.

[Acid X]

3 inches is a little extreme. You'd need some super stiff springs, only because it'd rub on the inner fenderwell in the rear very easily over bumps. I love the way this car feels, but when i got my alignment the dude at the shop said the rear toe can't be adjusted or some shiat... I don't think thats right, is it?

But yeah, my rear tires are +0.4x off, which is bad. :|

[1987HondaAccord]

the rear toe can be adjusted. the rear camber can't. (unless you use ghetto washers)
