Default new suspension, wanted to know what eveybody thinks

Ok so im not really good at this image hosting thing but i lowered my car and im just wondering if i need to just go all out and slam it? Im new to hondas, so i dont really understand the whole how the crap the front wheel turns when its tucke. So if someone can post a pic with the car slammed and the front wheels turned that would be GREAT! But yeah let me know what you guys think, thanks

I can't judge the drop while it's on those ugly wheels. It would probably look good on some aftermarket rims.

Yeah, I'm just saying it's probably pretty good there. Gaps look great front and rear.

you have a camber kit on cuz it looks like you have no negative camber. i can't really tell cuz those aren't great pics. What kind of suspension you have? Not bad drop either.

Low profile tires also. You're also going to need an alignment since you lowerd the car or you're going to spend a fortune on tires every time.

I've seen worse.. his is not that bad.. it's decent. You can't really go off of 1.5 inch's.. you have to factor in rim and tire size.

I'd seriously recommend reading the FAQ and looking at the threads about proper suspension lowering.
