drop height?

[91kid]

ok well i just bought a 1991 2dr accord.. i really dont like the look of stock..

My friends car is lowered way to far but i really like the look of it..

I need to lower it enough so it looks good but doesnt rub over every little bump..

Yeah ive been looking through there... thanks.. also is there a way to get the performance of a lowered "race" suspension on a stock height?

what are your guys's thoughts on body kits?

[phantomcb7]

Well IMO body kits to me are ugly there have been some cars that have been done up good but....others will prolly tell you the same and others will tell you differently

im riding H&R sport springs on stock absorbers..so far no issues yet and it been doing great....ive got 2" on the front and 1.5" on the back....i avoid curbage at all cost's.......your not going to be doin 50mph down a bumpy road are you?

heres a pic on stock 15's with 195/60 rubber

...your not going to be doin 50mph down a bumpy road are you?

no but his car is rubbing on speedbumps.. i was thinking about 2 inches or so.. how do you like the rida quality and handling at that height with your setup

[phantomcb7]

nathan i also have my mudflaps on plus i have a legend lip on my car so that adds to the rubbing

[91kid]

yeah thats a good point... but the actual car rubbed yeturday... is it better without people in the back?

i like your look but i couldnt have my car that low...

[h22-accord]

You need to ride in my car. Bryce's car is riding on the struts fully compressed pretty much, lol.

since the question has been somewhat answered:

are you afraid of the search button? or your own opinion? There are SEVERAL setups in the members ride link posted above and they list their body mods and suspension mods with pride.

there is also a STICKY that shows various suspension drops and setups and give drop in nches...no I will not post a link you go find it.

i think you will be good at a 2" drop or if you are really worried about it buy some adjustable coilovers so you can choose what you like best.
