Default Lowered accord 1997

K so i just recently got my car lowered in the front and back but the had some miscalculations so im putting different springs (And fixing up that yukky side without the door bumpers) this weekend and just wanted to know if you guys thought it was too low in the front. Im running 17"Advanti 6 spoke stalkers with 205 wheel size. Was thinking of upping the tire size to about 215 on front and maybe 235 or 245 on back. Hers the pics of it with front lowered.

Mixed feeling about the lowering. I'd go higher in front, lower in back, to make the rocker panels level. I'm not a big fan of the raised rear; think it belongs on a rear-wheel-drive muscle car.

But I see you have a trailer hitch, so maybe you NEED more lift in back... ?
As much as I don't like it lifted in back, I'm even less a fan of being low LOW in back.

I think the front is at a good height, the rear just needs to be just as low. Not a fan of the dodge neon uneven ride status.

I'm with them...needs to be level. It doesn’t even look like the rear was dropped. The front looks great...now make the rear look the same and it will look really good.

Yes i agree with you all the slanted look does not look at all and i may just lower the back to the same height and lose the tow bar at the back and get a van to tow stuff around haha.
May also put a spacer in the front to stop the grinding on the road and getting new wheels or bigger tires. Im NZ the roads are very poor and alot of corners and hills and pot holes and hardly any open strips for those racers.

Since you've got potholes & stuff, I agree about raising the front. Whatever you decide, get an alignment after you put the height where you want.
