    i myself am thinking of going with the H&R springs for my accord. for the price and quality i dont think that'd be a bad choice. especially for the great ride quality they give.

    Wow that looks really clean with the drop. Kinda weird that you you got rubbing in the wheel well. I think you need better struts, I am running a 2" drop and I have no rubbing at all with 205/45/15 all around.

    Tokicos are just a "little" better thent he KYB's. I would weight for this to go through and buy these struts. If not you can always modify EF civic struts.

    How are those KYB's? Are they uber bouncy with that drop? I am planning on a 1" drop and the KYBs are easy to get ahold of.

    Think they'd handle a tiny drop like that without turning into a trampoline?

    So far the ride is okay, the only thing I having problems with is the rear tires rub a little on bumps. Other than that they seem good.

    That's what I was waiting to see. It looks good.Thats odd that you are rubbing in the back, I should put on my 15's and see if it rubs since is the same tire size and everything. I know my 17's don't rub.

    I'm thinking I have a bad rear shock It seems to be only rubbing on the right rear.
    I didnt get a chance to really drive it around today so tomorrow I'm gonna really give it a good run, But so far I really like the ride
