Default PROBLEM WITH MY ACCORD STANCE

Alrighty. I have a problem with the stance of my Accord. It's nice and everything but there's this little problem that has been bugging me ever sine I took noticed to it. My rear section of the car is lower than my front ! WTF ! It looks like a freaking boat the way it stance is. I jsut want to know what's the problem and how it can be resolved ! It is something about my springs, shocks, ETC. HELP !

First off... You'd probably be better off asking this in the Accord forum, not in the S2000 forum.

Second, if you're judging by the fenders, than yes, it will look that way. Judge by the side skirts. The opening for the front fender on most Accords is "cut" higher than the rear.

Third, if you have aftermarket springs, recheck your installation. If you have OEM springs, you may have sagging springs, although I've never seen the rears go bad first.

Finally, year, trim, engine, suspension mods... All these things would be helpful to know.

On 7 Gen Accords, the HFP suspension will definitely make it look like the rear's a little lower than the front. It's not, really, but it looks like it.

George is right, my 05 has the HFP suspension and saw the "boat look" while still on the lot. Honda assured me the rear is not lower than the front.

Do you guys have pics of your cars with the HFP suspension? I was thinking about getting it for my sedan, but I definitely don't like the boat look. Is the ride a lot stiffer? Not too much, I hope. The main things I'm looking for is slightly lower, and slightly stiffer. I figure this, and 17" Honda wheels will get me the look, and handling I want.
