Hey guys I got my 6th gen with Ksports most likely being put in on thursday, I was wondering, should I slam the thing and ask my grandpa to take his old mazda truck off him? or just lower the 6th to around 2.5-3"? if I slam it do you think i'd be able to use my racinghart 17's or rota subzero's without scraping? Lemme know your thoughts and opinions

 

if you could get the truck off your grandpa use it as a daily driver and slam the accord

 

suspension travel is very very useful.

just to make things clear, you will not able(not very likely) to tuck the wheel on 6th gen, before anything else, the "swing" arm will hit the strut body, you'll know it when you turning full lock at low speed, it will scrape.

3.5inch will have one finger gap, to be exact and nerdy, measure the lenth from the center of the center cap to the fender, straight up.

FYI i have a 17x7 with 205 45 17+205 40 17

stock should be around 16.5inch and you'll run out about 12.5-13

let me know how you like the coilover, i was looking for them before but i ended up getting something else. btw where and how much was the setup?

 

Rethought my process, no winter beater afterall... I was thinking about a 2 3/4" drop sound ok? Also I was going to get an alignment after doing it so if I had a - camber on the wheels does the alignment process straighten it all out?

 

Dropping a 4-cyl Accord that much is retarded, you lose all your wheel travel and you are still stuck with a slow car that does nothing but look a bit better but rides like crap and will blow out even its koni sports in 25,000 miles. Just lower it about 1.5 and you should be good. Make sure to get something to adjust your rear camber though as dropping it that much is gonna screw up your alignment.

I got sportlines right now with a 2" drop and it's fine, I was going through with buying camber kits for front and rear and I like the performance that comes out of it, hows a 2.5" or a 2 1/4"?
