Im new to this forum, but have been part of others.
I currently own the following cars:
- 03 Mitsu Eclipse (Show Car)
- 00 Acura TL w/ Navi
- 97 Accord SE (on sale)
- and new to the collection: 98 EX-L Accord

I owned a 96 Accord 25th Anniversary Edition.

Now a liltle about my 98 EX-L. I bought it on 3/17/09 from the original owner. Car has 102,XXX miles on it. Its a 4 Cylinder ULEV motor. It has the leather package with the wood grain interior. Its a 4DR. Car drives smooth.

Since being part of this forum I have done the following:
- Civic Fogs
- OEM Fog Switch

I have purchased the following parts so far for it:
- Red/Clear Tails
- All Clear Stock Headlights
- 8000K HID for fogs and headlights
- Viper 571XV Remote Starter
- Eyebrows
- 7" DVD/Bluetooth/Cd player
- civic fogs
- 20% precut tint

The car right now is at the body shop waiting to get sprayed (same color) and some body work. (had lil dings throughout the car)

Heres some pics:

that stuff, that holds your car up. buy new stuff, to hold your car up....but that makes it lower at the same time.

Re: 98-EX-Leather, 98 Sedan EX-L (56)

i will be driving it as my every day... so lowering is a def no....
then i have to worry about getting camber kits, alignment, uneven tire wear and driving slow so i wont mess up my newly painted front bumper.

i drive mine every day.

and by the sound of it, even if you were to lower it you wouldnt go that low. so you wouldnt even need a camber kit. and if you have the toe set straight by getting an alignment, your tire wear would be fine. a 2" drop would just look better, thats all. stock height on these cars is horrendous.

^^^ + a million.


2" drop would be FINE without a camber kit, your tires owuld be fine, and you wouldn't have to worry about roads. I haev NEVER bottomed out on damaged anything on my car, sue to the 2" drop.

Look into it... if you "get your cars lookin right" ::)
