Coilovers also give you the ability to adjust your ride height, but are quite a bit more expensive. If I knew more and had the money when I decided to lower my car, I would have done coilovers instead of the H&R.
H&R springs are great for the accord's and TL's. I lowered my girlfriend's 2000 accord with H&R springs and it turned out great especially since she has 19's. Doesnt rub at all even with people in the back seat. She has about 1 finger gap in the back and 2 in the front but she also has subs in her trunk, not sure if that makes a difference.

As for the meet...I think that would work out okay for me. I'll have to check with my girl to see if she has already planned something for that weekend that I don't know about, but I'll let you guys know.

Looks nice but really can't tell if that is chromed or what is done to it. I need a closer pic to really see it. Definitely different though. Looks real good.

It is always good to be different. I am glad this one guy here on AZ lives in Queens, New York. He copied my style with everything except for his drop. His drop is lower in the front. He has the same rims and all, and wants to clear HIS headlights. I am kinda flattered by it but at the same time, be different with what you do. Get a different type of rim that you can do the same thing to. At least be a little original.

Finished the headlights and thought I would let my VA crew first sneak peek



Bad picture but nope not angel eyes, instead the CCFL is places so it makes 3 rings and you can't see the ugly tube during the day

I drive I-664 everyday to go home from Chesapeake and I think I saw where you had your accident. The guard rail is messed up and I'm glad it didnt end up in your car and the ditch is pretty steep. But once again glad to hear you are okay and just come back harder than before.
