URGENT, need some advice on a few moves I'm making on my Accord!
Hey guys, just to paint the picture, I own a black 2001 4dr Accord 4cyl LX. It has tinted windows, xenon lights, and 17 inch 6-spoke rims. Now I know it will never be a fast car, but it does have a sleek look. However the rims have given it a raised look, so I'm thinking about Eibach pro-kit 1.5 inch drop because I heard that Eibach will give u the looks and feel you want without sacrificing too much ride quality. Also I want to be able to keep my stock alignment kit and avoid excessive wear on my tires. Do you guys have any input? Is Eibach Pro-Kit the way to go to achieve the looks and feel without giving up too much ride quality and tire wear?
Also, my V-Tec sounds pretty nice (raspy and loud) as it is, alls it has is a K&N air filter which just isn't doing it for me anymore. I'm thinking about getting an Injen Short Ram intake mostly for the noise, i heard the V-Tec soudns totally different with a Short Ram resonating in the engine bay. As far as power gains, I would expect a lil bit of a punch to the vehicle but honestly even if there's little or no power gains I wouldn't mind. As long as there's no power loss on the upgrade. Anyone know how this would turn out? I just don't want to install the Cold-Air because they are not as loud, harder install, and mainly it's more pricey.
Well those are my 2 issues at hand, sorry that the post was so long, if any fellow Accord owners wanna gimme some input that wold be VERRRy nice. Thank you!

once you lower your car get an allignment..if your camber isn't within specs (which i doubt it will be) get a camber kit accordingly
if you wanna keep good ride quality you're gonna need to mate a pair of shocks with the springs...kyb agx should suit you fine...or look into tokiko illuminas
