the height is adjustable via c-clips that snap onto the shock body. lower groove gives lower ride height and vice versa. did you check if it was on the lower groove?

The suspension has to be broken into...worn it...after driving it for about 1 week or hundred milesor so, it will slowly lower itself.
Thats the same when i installed my apex world sport dampers for my accord, it got lowered and lower by the end of the week.
So yea that could be one of the reason from what I think

damn, i think it looks good like that ...

but if you want to raise, double check to see that the clips are on the upper most adjusting point...if it came down to it you could also replace the springs with some with not as aggressive of a drop....

Wow that looks low. Must be a bitch over speed bumps. But you can do what momstaxi said. Id get a less aggressive spring i dunno if a bigger wheel package will help cuz it looks like u might have to roll out the fenders a bit.

hey jedimex visit http://www.accordwagonclub.com/forum/. we'd love to have you join us. no bumps aren't a bitch to me. my wagon sits about 2-1/2-3 inches from the ground. only problem i run into are going up and down steep inclines. i love being low though. my ride is less jerky.
