I think that type S badge needs to go a little more to the left instead of sitting right on the edge. Looks odd. Nice work on the drop though.

I think the badge is fine (have one myself) but is just needs to be moved. Like this:

Well i bought them at a local import shop in fresno. For 700something they ARE 98'+ accord coilovers and i installed them myself. It was so damn easy the only thing that needs to be professionally done is changing out the tops.

:Ibtvtecstickeroncar:
I love the drop. I will look even lower once i get new wheels and tires. Yeah i kinda thought the stickers are a little too ricey too. I kept asking people i know they say its fine. I gotta say i didnt wanna agree. Its really not my signature just something i made. Lots of cars have Variable Valve Timing but they dont have VTECH. So i was goofing off on the computer one day and make that little banner.

I really didnt like the original badges on the back so i removed them all and the only thing i left was the original TYPE S badge but it was too small. I really like the new TYPE S badge so i went and bought one. The "STICKER" on the rear window is not really a sticker its actually lays within the tint. Its transparent and its my car crew's emblem. We all have them on our windows.



This one is mine.



In the state of California it is considered an obstructive view with our stickers on the bottom of the windshield. We got ticketed. So we removed them.

It was simple to install, and yes you do have to take out the entire back seat. DONT TEAR OUT THE TRUNK! It took some time for me simply because when I got the tops swapped out the fuckin moron did two of them wrong. So it delayed me another two hours when it should have taken an hour and a half at most. Other than the coilovers, it cost 20bucks to get the tops swapped and one day's time. Oh and be sure to buy a rear camber kit and get that bitch aligned cuz you dont want your tires wearing fast.

Well we dont complain when we get them for free from our local tint shop. Basically we took them off for legality purposes. We will be getting stickers on our side quarter panel windows anyways.

Go lower.

You don't want to LOOK lower, you want to actually be lower.

So we all agree then. Your car needs to physically be lower.

Now with your guys opinion how far should i move my coilover adjustment from the top(or)bottom of the threads. This is my first set so i dont know if there is a MUST starting point. All around i started from the bottom and moved my way up the threads 1-1/8inch. How low should i go?(Remember: Im attaching a lip it.)

Pay attention to the part where he said he had to "alter his whole style of driving" I would not go that low. Go down little by little, so you can get used to it...Practice going out of parking lots at angles, watching for bumps, lumps and what not! Drive slow homie! Don't let anyone drive your shit! They will fuck it up!

For sure homie. I already know what its like to drive a LOW car. My girlfreind has a 2nd Gen CL 2.3VTEC with Tenabe Coilovers and a Wings West Front Lip. I drive that car all the time too. I just dont know how much another 1/2inch drop is gunna feel like on mine. I just dont wanna fuck up the Kit.
