The boat look only happens with Eibach Sportlines? My Tein-S Techs won't have that effect right?
:hide:

unfortunately, yes ... on stock 16 inch wheels it wasn't so bad, but it was very noticeable when i was on s.tech's and had my old 18 inch zenetti wheels on low pros :puke:

FML. Well the sidewalls on my 17 inch summer tires are only 40. At least I'll get a good laugh out of it when I put them on with the springs... :Smoker:

I did this mod like 2 weeks ago and everything worked fine. I have neuspeed sport springs, so now it should be 2.2 inch drop in the front. The only thing i was worried about was the right fork, i bored it out a lil too much and I made a hole:doh: Besides that its great!

that why i went with the trial and error method, so that i didnt do to much at once.

Ejhh if it was me, I'd just cut half a coil off the front... lol Since the accord isn't a track car or anything, I wouldn't care.

IMO I'd feel safer cutting my springs half a coil than cutting my strut fork.

if you're cutting the fork, then you're not doing it right. :thinking:
