lowering car. have questions
how much should i lower my car? i drive a 98 dx coupe with 16' rims. i want it low where the camber kits wont put a hole in my fenderwell if i run over a pothole.
Another question. i talked to a guy today about painting my side moldngs, skirts, and mirror. he said its a bad idea cause if you paint it and it gets dented then it will start to peel cuz it has this kind of chemical. anybody have suggestions?

drop your car 1.5-1.75' and make sure you have 195/45/16 or 205/45/60 tires on your rims.

Get coil overs, lower your car til the point where it meets your tires, but there's no tuck, like an BMW M3 kinda. As far as tires, you got 16's put some wider tires on there and take turns like a champ, 205 is good, 215 is better.
The moldings and sideskirts, I was also told not to paint the moldings from a local bodyshop b/c of the chemicals that honda puts on their pastic's, but they said that the sideskirts were fine to paint, not a problem.
