what is your wheel setup?

That's what I hear, but without photos I had to go with something else. I searched all over H-T as well several other Honda forums and no one had pictures of their Accord all the way down on Tein SS's.

The wheels are 17x7 +30 front and 17x8 +21 rear. Haven't bought tires yet.

Re: Function and Form coilover thread

why would anyone buy these type of coils and mess with the preload? **** up the whole way its supposed to handle. If you want to go low go with amr pic or koni/gc easy as that.

For reference, here are the Type-IIs on my sedan all the way down in the front, including preload adjustment. The back is about 1/4" from being all the way down without preload adjustment.

good info. thank you kind sir!
i was literally hours away from ordering these. so what do you recommend for slammed/dumpedstars low?
i could care less about handling.
got the M3 for that.

Not to be a dick, but are you trying to buy expensive products so you can fit in with the crowd? Online crews are overrated.

Re: Function and Form coilover thread

I have a question about the Type-II's 32 way adjustments. Since the revised version are supposed to 'click' at every level shouldn't I be able to click through that many settings? My fronts don't even give me 10 clicks, and each click seems kinda vague if that makes any sense.

you didnt recall crorrectly. surprise surprise.

it said slammed, si-vtec lip, low offset wheels = the new rice

slammed by its self is fine. combine it with this 'real lip" fad and low offset wheels and BOOM! your a HT superstar and anything you do to your car, including adding "winglets" and "canards" and "wind tunnel tested aerodynamic" front bumpers is automatically "cool" and "accepted".
its unreal.
