1 inch Drop

[StoobyMcDooby]

Does anybody have a picture of a cb7 lowered 1 inch? If so, can i get a pic from the side? I want to do a drop, but want to know if 1inch would make a big difference... Thanks

Okay, this is not 1".....but an H&R Sport drop, looks the tits though and drives very nice.
1.5" rear drop, and 1.75" front drop

hmm looks alright. If you had some 17's you really wouldn't have much gap to speak of at all.

I wouldn't do just a 1" drop though cause you really won't notice it much. You'd spend a good bit of time to find it nearly the same as before and kick yourself for not dropping just a bit more.

I would look into the Eibach Pro-kit as its going to be very hard to do a 1" drop. The problem ist hat no springs are rated at just that. Also with the sag that exists on the stock springs/struts after the 14-16 years of riding on the car, there's a good chance that your car is already lowered the equivalent of one inch, and that the new springs/sturts could possible cause the car to raise up. I have see that happen before in the past.

dont go 1 inch if you arent putting on 18's its still got wheel gap i got closer to 2 inch drop and thier was still 2-3 fingers depending on how tight u want to put it in.

... looks the tits though ...

Agreed. A small gap like that looks "right" to me. The slammed cars with zero or less than zero gap aren't my cup 'o tea --- they look too obvious and not right for the street. But that's me.

Agreed. I have Pro-Kits. You can notice in the rear kinda like maroonaccord2.2's but not so much in the front.

And yeah, if I did it again I'd go lower, like maroonaccord2.2's setup.

What's key about the HR Sports (and some others) is that the fronts get dropped more than the rears.

i do have 17's.....

A sport drop would lower it a bit, reduce the wheel well gaps, and improve performance....but the car will still be a ways from the ground. I think a race drop would look awesome.

I would go to the Member's Rides section, then search the forum for different specific springs for our CBs...... That way you'll get some pics of member's rides, and a better idea of what you'll be getting once you install new springs of a particular make.
