Yeah your tires will be rebounding hard over any bumps on the road when your that low, guess thats why lowriders drive so slow lol.

at that point, its just a pain in the ass to drive anywhere. raise it up like 0.5 cm all around. this coming from someone who is also slammed.

At that height, the car only made it from the garage to my driveway. My friends who were doing the install for me thought it would be funny to take some pictures that low. The car was raised up to a height that works perfect for me. I will post some updated pictures shortly.

As far as wheels go, they're coming up next. I am having trouble deciding if I want to put 18" aspecs or 19" forgestars. The car is my daily so I am leaning towards the 18s. Any input?

The suspension are the Blackworks Racing Coilovers. The ride quality are the coilovers are impressive, especially for the price.

I got them for a really good deal from a buddy's shop. I was originally going to do the megans, but the price was too good to say no.

First of all good decision on the coils...

2nd....aspec suspension may have a great feel to them but they are a COMPLETE waste of money because they drop the car less than an inch.

Dont listen to the people telling you that youre too lol...we re dropped about the same height and i drive in new jersey aka pothole central with no problems

So true, I deal with that all the time when driving my TL. Luckily my '97 Accord is my daily driver.
