jimmy you need to keep all your posts together man, moderators dont like when you place more than one thread

but if you have a 97 cl the camber would fit also you can check this is copare part numbers at

http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net/

the prokit would be as close as you can get to the stock besides speading an arm and a leg on the comptech ones they are going to be the closest to stock with about 10% stiffer than stock spring and this is your best way to keep the stockfeel the best and lower it a lost of the spring are not close to stock specs. the pro kit is about 40% stiffer i think but dont get me wrong, search for it around here youll find at least one article

1.5 inches at most, to some people it doesnt look dropped. but it works well for those of us who have snow issues.

I just ordered the Pro-kits (now that i think about it, i think it's a bad idea) and if I put shocks in there with the springs, will it lower more? If so how much more?

Prokits are awesome. It will only lower more if you change the perch on koni yellows or if you buy tokicos.

i have the pro kit for about 3 years and tokico blues for about 2 1/2 years. Rides decent not bouncy at all. Just a lil rough but that because of 18s. If u have stock wheels it will ride just like stock but a lil stiffer. The ride hieght is perfect. I have maybe a 2 finger gap in front and a 1 finger gap in rear. It is almost tucking. People say it tucks when my car is rolling on the dtreet but i dunno.

Thanks cheez. Do you have any pics of your car? Sound like the ideal height in which i'm trying to achieve. How much more did the tokico drop you?

2 finger gap, but you're on 18's....i'm still on stock. I dont think the pro-kit is low enought for me. I dont have snow problem here so i can go pretty low. i got my coil-over at 3" drop....i dont mind going for 2inch. Well the Neuspeed give me that drop. They claim 1.7 tho. And how's the ride on the Neuspeed Sport?

OK boys, for anyone who had questions or speculations about the pro kit, i took pics before and after of my wheel gap. I did the install myself, with friend, and it wasn't that hard. Check out the thread for full details and great before after shots. Oh yeah, the front has settled about .2 of an inch since the drop, back hasn't moved.

I can do it myself....i've lower many cars already. I'm just looking for a smooth ride and get it about a 2 inch drop. I'm looking toward the Neuspeed now.

Well, thats a good choice, a lot of people have them and they love them. I know the moderator has them for a fact. Just keep in mind, any drop over 1.5 inches, be prepared to install a camber correction kit along with the springs and shocks. Major plus side of the eibachs.

The comfortable factor also depends on the size of your tires. The bigger your tires (I don't mean the rim size or the width, I believe it's the sidewall height) the more it will absorb impacts as well. Extremely low profile tires will give you a bumpy ride regardless. Riding on the stock 16s with the 205/55/16 tire size is completely different than riding on my 17s with 205/40/17 tires. The only thing we can't complain about is the handling factor after a drop.

BTW, do you have aftermarket rims? If so, what size and what size tires do you have. Anyhow, if you plan to do Neuspeeds get the adjustable anchor bolts for the control arms for the front made by Ingalls. For the back get the adjustable control arms made by Sprint Suspensions.

If you have cash to spend then get the Ball joint type for front and rear they are a lot easier to adjust and install. They run about $300 for the whole set. Check on eBay, very hard to find on there though. The last I checked there was only one kit.

Well i'm riding on the stock 16" rightnow. Why do i wanna adjust it later? Imma lower my car and adjust it rightnow one time. I got coil-over and never adjusted once. and my KYB AGX never adjust it as well. Imma just do it one time and have it right just the way i wanted.

Dennis....the tokicos actually dropped my back like 1/2-1 inch and the front 1/2 inch. It looks better that way. Pic of my car is in my sig. Its not a good one but it still a pic.

Hey cheez nice CL. Now that i've seen your pic of the imagine's I think I made a big mistake on getting the other rims. Eventhough you have the prokits with the shocks that dropped you another 1/2 to 1" did you need a camber kit? I know they say anything over 1-1/2" you should have one.

Thanks for the comment. I dont really need one i dont think but its best to have one. My tires wear on the inside a lot and i have to flip them every once a while. what rims did u get?? I like my imagine but i found out that one of them is curb rashed about half the lip lip. I dunno when i did that . Must of been drunk or something. But o wells. Shit happens when u get rims. I need to get better pics. Ill prob take pics at the meet we plan on having.
