wheel well huge
 
On my 2005 accord the wheel well is huge. I was asking around and heard the only way to lower it is to get a new suspension. Is there any other way to lower it besides spending all of that money for a new suspension. And is there any way to lower the wheel well without lowering the car to much. Was thinking about getting big tires to take the look away.

Suspension kits (lowering)is the best way to go. Huge tires will affect performance, braking, speedometer,and odometer in a negative way.

yea stay with the smaller stock tires. u can lower if for cheaper but its not the correct way. like u can just buy springs which will run u like 200 bucks but its not recommended

Only cheap way to lower your car is lowering springs... Little more expensive would be a good strut/shock combo off ebay... Most expensive would be fully adjustable coilovers

yea, i wasent gonna get huge tires, just bigger than my low profile cheap ones i got with my rims. With adjustable coilovers can you adjust them easily?

Well it involves getting your car in the air(a lift or jack) and removing the tire/wheels to get to the coilover in order to adjust...

Yes they all have same gap. My advice would be to put aside money every week for coilovers and wait until you have $700-900 to buy some decent coilovers. Dont be in a rush. Do it right the first time....

The idea is too adjust them from the 0" to 4" and leave them at that height..not to worry about adjusting them every time you think you need too..;)
