bro you're going to have to learn a new way of driving. I have the H&R sports with the WW body kit. The front lip is your biggest worry. You'll have to enter driveway ramps at an angle and be a little more careful not to get too close to the curb.
i look at it this way...i can go with stock height, no bodykit, no multi-piece forged wheels with no worries whatsoever...and then i can kick my own @ss for having a ho-hum family sedan...

"im gonna be doind a 2.2 " drop for daily and a 3' for special occassions "
Heh heh a 3 foot clearance would definitely make for a special occasion...one in which you removed the wheels as well as the bottom half of the car and sat on top of the hood

Hey InitialD,
How's the ride quality though? I'm gonna install my H&R's in a few weeks.
BTW check your email I sent you something regarding the bodykit.
I'll be waiting for your response.

I think that's a very light drop actually. When lower the car and get the bodykit. you will have to worry about all those ramp, drive way and stuff.... it'a normal...
You can lower the car and make do without the bodykit thought

I don't know about how much it would matter but I'm getting ready to put a 12" sub and amp in my car. (keeping it basic) Should I stick to the H&R's? I'm just afraid the back will be lower than the front. Or should I just get the Comptech's? The Comptechs are said to give it a raked look but with the sub I'm hoping that it would be an even drop. I orginally wanted the H&R's because I wanted a lower drop.

I went to an import meet the other day and there was an accord there with a body kit and dropped and I promise you it was not much more than an inch off the ground. It must take real driver skill to drive that...without bottoming out. CARPET QUEEN.
