Default Anyone lowered their RSX??

Can anyone show me some pics of a lowered RSX? I don't really like how high up it sits, so I'm wondering what it'll look like with a decent suspension setup.

Here you go buddy. Id say a 3.5 inch drop? The wheel gap used to be a fist and now im tucking about 1/4-1/2 inch. So bout 3.5-4? I recomnd ground control. Being as low as i am the car rides like stock its unbelieveable. Rides so damn good!!! everyones like woah!! Ground control for rsx definetly...This is without my wheels. the shot is brighter so u can see the drop

Hey I heard a lot of problems about the GC's. ARe they true? Did you have to modify them? When did u put them on? Do you have shocks? Aren't u afraid of blowing ur shocks? Thanks.

Phil2, your car looks really nice. 19" rims are a bit much for my taste, but damn your car has made me like the RSX. It sits way too high up stock.

Nice job, guys.

TEIN S'tech springs.....
moderate drop not having to worry about bottoming out anywhere!
but for most ppl, it might not be a drop at all since it only dropped the car about 1.6"!

I like the RSX with the aluminum wing! At least it actually has power to back it up. It might not need it but it looks good!

Wow, intake and exhaust! You must be blazin' down the highway with all that power! Maybe I should get a wing like that for my hatchback, your rear end prolly gets a little light on those 200mph midnight runs, huh?

Psh. Dork.
