isn't it to low with prokit? yours looks like much lower than I though.... dont you have rubbing problem??? how is the ride? shop says that if I drop 1 inch I have to get new shocks soon or later(maybe gonna last around 2000miles) that's why I am also thinking to get the tein spring..

Nice!

Those rims are tight. I was thinking about them for my upcoming '05. Now that I know they clear the Brembo's, I'm definitely getting them.

Since that picture, the car has changed. It now has a full A-spec bodykit and lip spoiler. Also, the Eibachs were replaced with TEIN Basic Damper coilover system (shocks and springs with full ride height adj.) I did not like the way the Eibachs "sat" The front fender gap was bigger than the rear fender gap. So the front always looked higher than the rear. Remeber, the Eibach part number for the TL is also the same as the new Accord V6. So they were never designed just for the TL. I would not recommend buying the Eibachs. I am putting my Eibachs on Ebay soon. I have new pictures if someone can post them.

Looks sweet, what offset are the wheels? Looks like they stick out a little more then the stock ones. Nice

Can't really tell from the pics but is the back sitting lower then the front? I hate when springs do that.

The "stance" of the car is set for the an aggrssive rake look since the TEIN coilovers are fully ride height adjustable. So, actually the the back is approx. 1/2" higher than the front.

As for the wheel offset, they are 18x8 35mm offset. 245/40/18 Nittos!

Love that look. What coilovers are they? The Basic? Most springs I have seen on here sag some in the back. Looks like the coil overs are the way to go. At that height is the ride harsh?
