Thanks, and yes it is. The Sportlines drop the car 1.8" front, and 1.7" rear. Its a reasonable drop, still very drivable. However, in June, when I swapped from OEM shocks to KYB GR2s, I noticed they actually lowered the car a bit more. The center of the car actually scrapes on speedbumps now if I'm going anything more than a crawl.

 

Must be the KYBs because I have sportlines on my accord and its not nearly as low as yours.

 

That is what I figured.


Here's a sort of comparison. Dropped it another fingers worth best I could figure.

Stock shocks:



KYBs:

 

Thats a good ride height, still got the same plans as you did back in october?

 

Yes sir. I had about half of the money saved up for my coilovers, but as errbody knows.....stuff happens. Got 2 flats within a month, because of my tires dry rotting, and me hitting a piece of wood on the freeway. So I just replaced all 4.

I have begun saving again, and will hopefully have them by June.

 

Jees you must really like good handling upgrading from your current set up.

 

Yes sir. The Eibachs are nice, but too soft for my liking. I've ridden in a car with the setup I am getting, and it is hands down the best I've ridden in. And I want to go lower.

 

Another little update:

I had a little run-in with a tumbling couch (yes, you read that right, a couch) on the freeway a few weeks ago.......


I was VERY lucky. If I had been going a few MPH faster, I would have slammed head-on into the couch. Luckily, I hopped on the brakes in time, and was able to avoid the majority of the couch. The only damage was to my driver's side mirror, which was completely sheared off by the couch. The mirror was shot into the back seat through the open window, and almost clocked me upside the head in the process :shocked:

Here are pics of the damage:






After searching a few junkyards, I finally found another black coupe, and snagged its mirror.






Also, I removed my window visors to be restored by my friend. After years of sitting in the sun, they became quite dull. My friend discovered how to best restore them, and after seeing the results on his set, I couldn't pass it up. My dull visor is on top, and his restored one is below (for reference, his visor looked exactly like mine pre-restoration).







I got a big update dropping in the next few weeks though.......stay tuned!

 

Is it bad that I read the couch comment and thought "he must be from California". Then looked and saw you are from California?

 

Not in the least. You'd laugh at some of the things my friends have almost been hit by on the freeways.
