Looks great... I wasn't expecting a EDM Accord/USDM Acura TSX when I clicked!

It could be lowered a tad more, but it looks great where it's at too! What's the suspension setup?

Very nice, about 1.6". I'm dropping my Accord about 2.5-3" (64-76mm) on Friday.

What brand are the springs?

What coilovers are you looking at?

vmaxx springs are in it at the minute which are cheap but do the job in the mean time until i can afford coilovers. The coilovers i am looking at are tein (if thats how you spell it).
What are you using for the 64-76mm drop?

Tein makes some good coilover kits

Ranked from cheapest to most expensive, and basic to perofrmance
1. Tein Basic
2. Tein SS
3. Tein SS-P w/ pillowball upper mounts

I'm using German H&R Race springs on Koni Sport dampers

I might have to look into your setup as i wont be adjusting the coilovers much and i am only looking to go that bit lower. It might work out cheaper than the coilovers too

Tein Basics are cheaper than my current setup. I've paid ~$800 for just the springs and dampers alone, with all the others parts I've bought I'm at about $1050

Do you know any websites with these suspension setups?

Well I got my springs from... tirerack.com, I believe, and the dampers from proamauto.com, both located in the US. I'm not too savvy on sites outside of the US or their shipping rates.

The springs only lower the car 64mm, the dampers have an adjuatable perch for another 20mm of lowering.
