Default Help!

I'm new to the accord world. I have a 99 accord LX 4 cyl. and it will soon be lowered. But idk how much i should lower it? I was thinking either 1.5 front and back but idk. Others who had lowered an accord to the similar model please help...

are you going for just the look or for the performance??
FYI it will cost you $600+ t drop your car the RIGHT wan without breaking things...if you don't want to spend that much stay stock.

depends on how your roads are in your area n how low you can drop it. I'm personally sittin really low I have LES than a finger gap between my tire and fender.
Also look into rolling the rear fenders so you won’t rub after lowering.

if you want adjustable you will need coilovers. But remember every time you adjust them you will need to get a alignment done.
