I have installed my Tien SS and was wondering what is a good ride height to have it at where the car sits evenly. How do you guys measure the drop? Right now there is 3 finger gap in the front and a 2 finger gap in the rear. Should I raise the rear to match the front or drop the front to match the rear. Also what damping setting are you guys running for daily driving. Right now I just have it set to the softest and I'll go from there. The ride quality is excellent. Hopefully I'll have some pics after all the adjustments are made.

 

You want an even looking car...just because the front has more gap than the rear doesn't mean the car is setting uneven....look at most manufactures of springs eibach for example lowers the car 1.8 in front and 1.7 in back.....I have a 1 finger gap up front and no gap in back, it sets even.

perfect..that is so true. the one thing that people always do is line their height up with fender gap.. your car is designed to turn in the front therefore the design of the car is to sit lower in the rear. if you measure at you four jack points (in front of the rear wheels and just behind the front wheels) you will have a level car..IMO you should just lay it out..jk..i would though

 

yeah, just hit switches until it's level.

 

im not sure which year your accord is, but you if its too low then you could have control arm/fender clearance problems. I had eibach sportlines on mine for a while, and the camber kit i had adjusted the contol arm, and BOOM, the ball joint flew out after a couple of good hits. just a thought

you can cut a whole in your upper fender well for clearance so that doesnt happen..my upper A-arms come through the hood.

 

I stopped dropping when I had about 1cm of tuck.
