And yes a suspension drop is planned in the future. Not sure how low yet. Dont know the normal drop for these cars. Maybe 2" if it will do that without rub |

You could get OEM wheels, but they have high offsets, meaning they won't sit flush with the fender. Stock is +42 offset. 25-30 offset is perfect. As for suspension, Canuck or H&R springs are great, Eibachs are a nice choice but offer the least amount of drop. All are under 2". Make sure to use struts that are designed to be used with lowering springs, like Tokico blues and KYB AGXs.

Never got pics of my interior with the LEDs. As you can tell why because camera phones suck ass at getting the full effect of the LEDs in the interior, dims them alot. All I need is a dome light LED then it'll be done, have only had map/glovebox/floor lights for a while and recently got the trunk one.

I think some 19's look good too, but 18's are definitely ideal for this car, and 20's are too much. Anyway... No one makes any struts for this car that are actually designed for lowering springs. The AGX's aren't either. They are better than other choices because they are adjustable so you can make them stiffer to match the stiffer springs, but they aren't shortened. A proper strut designed for lowering has a shortened body and stroke to match the spring length. Also eibachs are the best lowering spring to use for the exact reason that they don't lower the car as much as the others. They provide the right amount of drop without affecting the alignment so much that it can't be brought back into range, and they don't have as much of a negative affect on suspension geometry like changing the roll center, positive camber gain in corners, bottoming out and hitting the bump stops, etc etc.

I have lost to 75% of hondas, I have mad respect for them, they are truly underestimated. And they also set the standard for economical cars, GM, Ford changed there strategy towards selling cars because of them.

0% have beaten me, 0% have been beaten. I'm smart enough to know my car isn't a fkin race car.
My friend always tells me how he's raced people in his Saturn. I laugh and tell him to control himself.

My Accord isn't and will not be some hot rod.
It's a nice cruiser that's good on gas. It may get a nice axle-back exhaust and intake, but I like my cars to have sound.
