Are you saying I need to go lower??

Anyone know by chance if the TL's EVO 2 fits the Accord? There's one for sale in BM.

It's probably a hair long* on the coupe, but either way the worst you'll be doing is cutting a very small section

They sound great though!

One of my faves! Looks perfect. I don't think I'd change a single thing except maybe a retro.

I bet that's a lot of fun in a parking deck or inclined driveway. I recally my son having his old Altima dropped and having to strategically dart around speed bumps. With the OEM height of my 12 Accord, I can take most speed bumps at speed.

Oh, how I miss going over speed bumps at normal speed.

I have to creep over bumps at my current ride height. Definitely worth it in the twisties though!

I try to avoid speed bumps at a stock height. The last thing needed right now are more rattles...

Word, Rockstar's Accord puts mine to shame .. I have so many door dings and now a hole in my front bumper .

In other news, I should be getting a chunky tax refund shortly and I'm putting about $1200 into my car.

Smog time is coming next month so I plan on getting the car inspected and have the OEM cats taken off asap.

Plans:

Valve adjustment / tuneup: Scheduled for next weekend.
Smog / Pre-cat deletes: Soon
LW Crank Pulley: Ordered
TL-S MT Transmission mounts: Ordered


It's going to be a good summer

Rockstar, what are you covering?

Normally I do full bumper, full hood, and front half of fenders. Considering how many rock chips I have now, it's like putting a bulletproof vest on a guy who got the business end of an assault rifle.

Exactly. I'll be in a bit of a rush to get there too so I'd rather not take dump truck debris near triple digits at times lol

Leaving for the beach in 2 hours!

They are kinda rare. On the 4G forums people pay 200+ easy for a used set.

I was lucky enough to snatch those for 60 bucks.

I've gotta say that I liked the TL stockies on your car more than your current wheels.
