That's just too low IMO. You will rub the fenders, bottom out the shocks, and have massive wear issues that you can't fix with that low of a drop and still have proper suspension geometry.

i think that the 2.25 drop is alright its goin to make the whole thing look flushed. my cuzin has a 91 accord and he dropped it 2.75 and with 18 in rims and it looks just fine. if you are worried about the fender liner u can take it out and make shure u adjustable camber kits. a good camber kit brand is ingalls. dont forget to get new shocks in the future. but for now yer shocks will be just fine. the gold line springs are okay but i would go with the Sprints or the Skunk 2 springs.

hmmm...his car looks just fine, but how does it ride? does it scrape everywhere? without the fender liner how does it sound riding on a road with a bunch of rocks?
how often does it have to change new tires? and you suggest that he ride on stock shocks on lowering spring is ok for now?..i suggest that he save up enough to buy both shocks and springs..hey, stock shock might last a year on lowering springs, but it might only last a few weeks...
