looks good. i like ur clean look. how much would u say its dropped? mine is dropped slightly lower with pro kits and koni yellows. i tell people its bout 2" drop and wonderin if thats accurate. when i had it lower about another .5" the camber was real off and the wheels were tucked. /-----\ u have a better shot of the fronts that would show camber? i found the rear camber doesnt seem to suffer as much.

even in this pic u can see the front wheels sticks out a little more on the bottom than the rears and thats only a 2" drop tops

yes the red color gets a shit load of attention and w/ the stockies blinging in the sun...it really makes it stand out

i measured before we dropped it, the back was 2.5, now it is .5..so it looks like a 2 inch drop, maybe a little more...i can only fit 1 finger inbetween the fender and the wheel...haha, it's a beautiful thing!

the coilover's are APC ( i know, shame on me) but they were only 50 bucks, i got them used from a fellow CL'er, but they will do until i can redo the suspension setup like i want to.

um the ride, yeah, it kinda sucks...it's bouncy, definetly different from the ride on my accord, of course i had springs w/ that car.
i have had to change some routes around town because i dont wanna put my car through any added stress or really harsh bumps...so that's another downfall.

but oh well you have to make some sacrifices...the roads in jacksonville arent that bad so it's all good...if having it dropped means i gotta deal w/ some bounce, it's a small price to pay

i dont have any shots of the front, i will try to get some soon.

and gdubb...yahoo photo was incredibly easy, just make sure u set it to public viewing...

and thanks for the compliments...if u guys could have only seen the big ass smile that was on my face while i was reading them...i really appreciate it...

oh and i am planning on tinting the windows sometime this weekend or next weekend...

well do you want to be able to drive the car or not? I was down a good 3" plus at one point. It was a bitch to drive but I still did it


it all depends, mess around w/ a few different settings

lol..good lord!
3 inches...hmmm thats a wonderful thought

but i think if i drop it another 1/2 an inch the fender well will rub against the tire and that would be just a 2.5 inch drop

with the drop now, i honestly dont have a whole inch to play around w/, so i dont think a 3 inch drop is feasible... :P

You should try to lower it alittle more. Just watch your camber or else you'll be getting new tires in 3mo's. When are we gonna get to see pic's with your new chrome 18's? Cause that would set your car off!!

hey katie, the drop made the car look very sexy, but how is the ride. When i had coil-over the ride was crazy, very bouncy. The KYB AGX help it stop bouncing on and on but its sill bounce. That look just like how my neuspeed sport is rightnow.

Drop looks GREAT! I like the debadged trunk and no spoiler. I added a spoiler on mine, however, from the rear, your car looks especially great.

the clear corners are a must on your car. you should what thinks about the corners and buy em. It really helps clean up the front end of the car

CJ- i know about the whole age thing...trust me, it's not an insult! i get that ALL the time from guys...they dont believe i'm 22...but hey whatever works...lol

clear corners are going on...i like the way they look on CL's alot, especially at night...so those are prolly the next step after i get the windows tinted...

as far as chrome rims....um, i dont think so.
I know chrome would really set it off, i have heard that alot...but chrome really isnt my personal style...
I am planning on 18" Racing Hart C5's

and dropping it more, i dont really see how i could..in the back i have a 1/2 inch inbetween the tire and fenderwell...and i am aware of camber problems...delt with those when i had the accord, so those will go on soon too...they are a priority!


god, i am so tired...i washed and waxed it today...she's so shiny!!

but thanks again for all the compliments.... u guys are the best!

whoo-hoo...sexy car..lol

the ride is very bouncy...kinda fun sometimes wheeeeeeee
like i said, i'm willing to sacrifice the ride for the drop...but i think once i get some aftermarket shocks it'll be alot better

i normally HATE most every red car....sorry red car peeps,
BUT this car look awesome! I guess it's hard to get red right like a lot of colors but i think Acura did. It being all shiny and all bling bling doesn't hurt either (-: nice ride Katie
yea i'm with everyone on the clears especially your ride - IMO orange and and red don't go well together - i was somewhat reluctant to get them at first, but after.....you'll see (-:

looking good and the car too
