What I meant was what was your set up? What coilovers do you have? Wheel size and tires?

i used to have a slammed Prelude that I basically could not go anywhere with since it was too low.....i hated the fact that i could barely go over speed bumps and driveways without hitting something. as tempting as it is to lower my car, i don't think I would do it again.....i like to be able to take my TSX everywhere without worries.

you should be on the lowrider magazine, how the hell do you ever jack up your car?
I have a low profile jack, the lowest it can go under is 3" and I had a hard time trying to jack up my car with a 2.5" drop.

wheels are 17x7 Volk GT-C with 225/45/17 falken gr451 beta tires. I also have the car that low with my 19x8 Full Polish RJ 3pc Devotions with 225/35/19 tires. Those are getting currently rebuilt fully custom.

I still like the 17" GT-C's when it is lowered this much cause it gives it a race look.
