Since I'm on coilovers @ 23" fender to ground, I have no idea how much lower I am compared to stock. Sooooo ... I parked next to a bone stock 01-02 V6 coupe on flat terrain to check my drop heights.

For the record, stock 01-02 Accord V6 coupe fender to ground, F: 26.5", R: 27.4"
Therefore, I'm at -3.5" F, and -4.4" R ... had no idea these cars were so face down a$$ up from the factory :p

Will have to see if I can find a stock v6 sedan around. Not many in my area, mostly Coupes.

I would assume the V6 sedan would be similar to the Coupe height. So, that would put me at -2.5" F and -3.4" R.

Not bad for Sportlines on the front and stock springs on the rear! :lawl:

The stock v6 sedan I park next to at work measures F&R are the same height:26.75" and Im at F&R:25" running H&R lowering springs paired with KYBs.
So -1.75" F&R

I'm thinking we could sticky this and put it in the suspension section ...

You guys should tried and compare a v6 to l4 with roughly the same miles. See if ones suspension start to sag more because of the extra weight. Not really important just interesting

Okay this is interesting. I have a '00 V6 sedan. Park next to another (stock) "00 V6 sedan and a few spots over is a stock 01 I4 sedan...Oh and an 05 V6 sedan too. All co-workers. haha

That being said I re-measured the stock V6 sedan and the passenger side seems to be sagging I guess, because the drivers side measures 27" F&R, same as the I4 sedan 27" F&R

TLDR;

STOCK '00 V6 Sedan: F&R 27" 200K miles 15" alloys 205/65/15 = 25.5" tire diameter (same as mine)
STOCK '01 I4 Sedan LX: F&R 27" 175K miles 14" steelies 190/70R14 = 24.5" tire diameter

EDIT: Note, the I4 tire size is an inch smaller*

Finally found a silicon coupler more than 3" long. HPS makes some nice stuff.

Installed the new purge solenoid, hopefully the ticking is gone. Was going to install my new tail light LED bulbs but SBL send me amber instead of red. :Boo:

Btw I tried out their chat service, pretty nice feature.
