    Accord is back. :)

    Well havent really updated anything on here for a while...I had parked my car and decided to make it strictly a track car...but then needed to drive it again for a few months so...just went ahead and did some useless nutty fun stuff. :P





    15x8 +10 around. Rear needs to be a bit lower, but pretty happy with setup so far.

    It's because the car isn't moving!

    Looks sweet, thought about smoking out the front signals a bit?

    Re: Accord is back. :)

    It drives and ride perfect in my book...but I also drove my mercedes thats .25" odd the ground to maryland and back and though it rode exceptionally good haha. Im on modded/cut k sports, cut wishbones, etc. Fenders were rolled and pulled by hand no roller here. Fenders pulled in rear about .5" fronts about .25" Only the rear rubs very slightly on tight or hard turns and massive dips...But im only rubbing maybe the top eight inch or the tire sidewall so once I get it aligned another .2-.3" of camber and it wont rub period. Camber is fine to run as long as youre Toe is zeroed out and caster is at stock or close to spec. And theyre XXR 522...got em in a trade with cash and decided to run em...they were white and had crappy paint so had em bead blasted and painted em Diamond night mist metallic. Im liking em more and more everyday.

    Oh and the accord is not low at all...extremely dailyable.

    Re: Accord is back. :)

    Cool, you've said it, good dampers will do the trick. I've decided to run on K-sports for that reason. IDK, maybe your roads smoother but over here its just bumpy everywhere. MB's are smooth and quite high planted, and do have tall shocks to compensate for real lowering. I just love handling.
