Im 90% sure the 50103's would give you that look. I had them on my TL-S and the drop was PERFECT like pictured.

Hmmm, never seen that car in the area before. Gotta keep a look out.

I was always wondering if there was anyone else living in my area, haha. I mainly see this anthracite TL that is slammed near my house, as well as a SSM CL-S. Never saw that one yet.

Backseats are a piece of cake... just unclip the 2 seats and they slide out, than a couple bolts and the back back seat slides up. Also you need to remove the center piece, couple bolts holding that in too I think. It's basic, just bolts and a bit of tugging.

I dont know if it's because he's on a tilt, but it hardly looks like a drop to me and if it is, it's not much more over stock height.

Check out the DIY section, there's a detailed post on the whole drop (by NiteQwill I think). Good luck!

If I remember right the 50103s are made specifically for the Tls/Cls and aren't quite as low as the 51858s (which are made for the 98-02 Accord). Check to see in the suspension section for sure, but I know you already have your drop Gary!

The 51858s come in the OE and Sport setup, the Sport springs drop the car like 1.75-2.0"s all the way around, the OE setup just drops it like an inch or so. Anyway check it out...

Did you guys know JCWhitney has these adjustable hooks for pulling the springs together for that look you seem to like?

Now, for everyone responding located within the Bay Area, you folks know of any meets taking place for us??? I see a lot of meets for SoCal, but what about us here at our end?? Weather's starting to be real good...

I've met up with GC86 before and talked to SCUC about meeting too. I suppose one of us should organize something... maybe I should put out a feeler thread to see what kind of turnout to expect.

I'd say hell yeah to that!! Your idea of a feeler thread might just work out for the better... Hopefully there'd be a good response so something can be started for our side of the spectrum as far as location goes...like I said previously, weather's lookin' good & an AZine meet for Northern Cali looks to be long overdue...
