my accord sure doesn't look like a boat. It is a marine engine though :/

as for shifting, around 5600rpm, that's about right where you stop getting the most power out of it.

Personally i dont think the accord has a boat look...I have the same exact car as you dropped on H&R's and i've never heard or even thought it looked like a boat. If you dont like the "boat look" then i would suggest a different car...but a drop deffinetly helps the accord out...looks nicer when there isnt as much of a gap IMO

The 94-95 is probably the best looking accord...

A nice drop (lower than the pro-kit) some nice body projects etc etc (grill, paint side skirts and oem body kit etc)

i guess the problem for my boat look (rear lower than front) is my springs. would any of u recommend a good spring for a 2 1/2 inch drop. i didn't mean to say the car itself looked like a boat,i also think this body style is sweet.
i just got this ride and wanna fix all the stuff the previous owner failed to do.
my plans are to drop it and put some black rims with polished lip and a paint job...

Read that and go for your own decision, some great write ups in there

But I have always liked eibach sportline kit thats what I currently have on my 90 accord and its by far the best ride out of the springs I have purchased in the past (sprint, eibach, ebay coilovers )

I would suggest H&R race springs H&R makes really nice springs and i have been pleased with my sports for a long time, but i might be switching to the races soon.
