JniG's 2001 Accord Coupe LX *teaser update 2/25/12 on pg. 6*

Soooooo..I've been lurking this forum for a while now. This is pretty much my first car that I can actually call MINE. Bought her in November of 2011 and quickly became a registered member of this forum. I'm pretty new to the car scene since I never really had my own car that I could mod. But that's all about to change I have learned so much knowledge from reading through the forums and I have many great plans for my car, however I am also a college student on a busboy budget so there's definitely no rush. Hope to learn much more from all of you here as I steadily work on my car. Thanks for looking!

Car has some potential in it. Good choice going with the f2's as the first thing, always good to not being driving a truck Good luck modding!

Not sure yet. I'll probably ask one of my friends to help me install them. Can anybody tell me what height I should set it at before putting them on? I'm looking for about one finger gap space.

Yeah that's what I heard. Instructions say that height adjustment is made by rotating the lower mount up or down, but if you rotate it enough, the whole lower mount comes off so I'm not exactly sure what the highest setting is. Sorry for being noob lol.

Re: JniG's 2001 Accord Coupe LX

put them on about a 1/4'' from the very bottom and just lower your car to the height you'd like after install
