Rims are a perfect match on the Accord, what suspension are you running?

[Dr_Snooz]

Welcome from California!

[Hazwan]

Sick! Nice drop and wheels :)

[redneck]

thanks yall... that was on cut springs but its sitting on coilovers that i have worked up where the mud flaps are about 1" off the ground and spacers in the rear camber arm

[LXi88Dave]

wow! sweet! nice rims and drop!

[Vanilla Sky]

Damn good looking cars.

For camber, Moog makes rear camber kits for our cars. IMO, it's not worth making them if someone makes them for us for as little as they go for on Rock Auto. We even have a 5% discount code in the General section. In the front, find a set of upper control arms from a 2nd gen Prelude. They are camber adjustable, and you can slot them for even more camber gain. I think someone got almost 3mm of negative camber with a set. There's a how-to that shows what you have to do to make them fit.

With as many 3geez guys as we've had join recently in the SE, I think we might be due for a meet. Savannah sounds like a good place.

Welcome and wheels look great on the car! Once you get the front lip, it will stand out more.

[redneck]

[Legend_master]

Damn dude, you are going all out! Definitely keep the pics coming.

[Dr_Snooz]

You don't wait around! Nice!

[Vanilla Sky]

Looks good. I'd be careful with your cinder block jackstands, though. I had to pull a car that was set up like that off of a buddy once. Luckily, the injuries were fairly minor. Ever since then, I've been a bit of a jack stand nazi.

[redneck]

You don't wait around! Nice!

lol well do what i can till that time anyway, weather is crappy and the main thing im trying to get done is the bay and wires for now.

well the jack stands freak me out cause the ground is clay/sand and they sink. iv done it like this for years with out any problems. ya just need to know what your doing i guess.

[redneck]

Damn dude, you are going all out! Definitely keep the pics coming.
