Preyluder · 10-28-2002, 10:57 AM

I'm gonna go w/ AGX shocks and Eibach Prokit lowering spring kit.... unless I find a good deal on GC's.

Hmmmmm, how should I vote?

Andy, I think you should go for a 1.75 - 1.8" drop. Mine is dropped almost 1.75" and I think it is still good for driving around town and still a respectable drop for car shows. Since you have 17's you may be able to pull a 2" drop but I would not go more than that. I wen't with the 1.75" because I knew I was uprading to 18's and didn't want anything lower. I can still go 1 notch lower on my TEIN's but I never see myself going lower.

My drop is probably about the same as Charlies (prelude2005) and I think his is perfect as well.

Here is a pic that shows the drop a little better.

I left the pic in the quote just so there were more pics of your car in my post

I think I am going to squeeze 2" and see if I like it. If not..... I can just raise her back up a little!

Mark94 · 10-28-2002, 02:39 PM

I can't remember, are you getting a coilover system which would allow you to raise it alittle?

Yeah. I have some Eibach sportlines sitting in my shed and I ordered some GC coilovers instead. Coupled with some KYB AGX!

Hey Charlie, I didn't even see that your pic was updated.

Love the JDM's on your ride! How do you like them?

Mark94 · 10-28-2002, 03:03 PM

I thought I remembered Eibach and KYB's. I think you'll be much happier with the adjustable GC's. Just remember to clean them periodically, so the perches don't freeze up on you. I think people use a little WD-40 on a damp rag to keep them from collecting too much dirt and rust.

That is a good tip. I will make sure I do it.

Mark94 · 10-28-2002, 04:53 PM

Glad to hear Charlie. I was just returning your favor after you and Todd helped me with the write-up for the rotor install.

They look great on your car, Enjoy.

how big are those rims? http://members.cox.net/mr.clifford/Markside.JPG

they're probably 17s but they look like 18s, either way I think they're too big

"I knew I was uprading to 18's "

that doesn't say if it's 18s in the pic, or if it's before the upgrade, hence my question

I figured they're 18s anyways by cvomparing it to 2005's rims

MR.CLIFFORD · 10-28-2002, 07:31 PM

Big ole 18's. I think they look bigger than that.

brendon2k · 10-28-2002, 07:40 PM

I like my drop. I have h&r sports which is 1.5f/1.3r(I think) drop.

As Andy mentioned, they are 18's.

I think they look too small
