I just installed K Sport Coilovers on my accord. The process of getting it the right height was relatively easy. Before you install coilovers, measure the distance from fenderwell to top of each tire while the car is off the ground. After you install the coilovers, measure it again and adjust coilovers up or down depending on how much you want to lower it. After you install coilovers, drive the car around for about 20 minutes and let the coils settle down. Measure all of the spaces and see if they match. Adjust accordingly.

the true right way is to put it on wheel scales. the easy way is to measure from the center of the wheel to the edge of the fender. make sure ur even on all sides and u should be straight.
