Default Removing ADJUSTTABLE SPACERS from COILOVERS, Would it make my car LOWER and SAFE?

i have a 03 sedan accord and i cant drop my back more. i have coilovers and i adjusted it all the way i can and my BACK SIDE doesnt look lower, but the front i can drop more. If i remove the silver spacers that adjust it, would it make the back side of my ride safer? please help

Looks plenty dropped to me. The slightly raised rear gives it an aggressive look

Da point... English, do you speak it?

Those are locking rings, and are meant to be there for a reason. In essence you were right, the response was a waist of my time

Once again you are correct number 11. But despite not having said life, I at least possess knowledge, and I have tried to pass it along.

w0w, your car has no wheel gap anyways, why go even lower, looks good, but how is the quality of those coilovers, they look shitty and how's the ride comfort with your stock dampers?

w0w i'm really shocked by how comfortable you say the skunk2 coilovers are, aren't they stiff and harsh? don't you feel every bounce / crevice in the road? how would you rate the stiffness compared to stock out of 10? let me know thnx

I work around jersey city and the roads around there are really crazy . . i mean ofcourse if i hit a bad pot hole it makes my lower pipes smack around alot loud, buh other then that, every one of my boyz who get in my car, say its da smoothest drop ride they been in. STOCK is always better, buh if i was to change it up, it would be the skunk2 coilovers. they feel perfectly good, and its still with the stock shocks to.

ooooo the skunk2 coilovers aren't a complete coilover system, now i understand. of course if you're on stock shocks it'll be just the same comfort as stock, but if you had skunk2 coilovers+skunk2 dampers, then it would be completely diff, now i understand ur point
