    Ok, so i'm lowering my car.

    Let me here it, another post on lowering springs. I cannot lower my car with the 2.25 inch lowering springs because the roads in the northwest are full of pot holes, but i was thinking about the 1.5 inch Vogtland lowering springs. Anyone have a picture of their Accord on some 1.5 inch lowering springs? Im kinda nervous that when I get them on, they wont look low enough. Thanks guys.

    The tokicos and h&r combo drops the car and gives it a good stance.

    Potholes? In the Northwest? Where are you from?

    1.5 inches. Nobody is going to notice your car is different from any other stock one. It will definitely improve it, but it's subtle, and hard to notice. That's what I did on my car. I like it okay, but it just kinda helps clean up the appearance, get rid of some of that gap. Especially if you upsize your wheels.

    I'd say if you really want it to look good, go with the 2.25. It would be fine where I am from, and just about everywhere I have been in the Northwest.

    Haha Spokane doesnt treat there roads very well. Im just trying to go for the subtle look, so it might suit it. I measured it with my car on level ground and i would get around two fingers in the wheels gap
