Mine sits just like an 05 I parked next to. I'll be out of town next week but if you think your's is sitting strangly high we can meet up somewhere and compare.

Still higher? I guess the springs will sag a little later ???

The 06 actually sits 0.482 inches lower than the 05 because of variable geometry and thrust vectoring.

Yours appears to be a lil lower than mine in that pic (possibly the height from taking the pic)...looks awesome btw I plan to do the same bodykit excluding the taller wing (love the trunk lip spoiler imo )

Quick, it's true that the spacers'll will make your car ride higher than stock, but maybe your co-worker has lowered his car? Make sure you're comparing against a stock car.

I have to closely compare to the 04/05's when I get a chance...I also asked the tech's @ Palm Harbor Honda, and he said that my car does sit a lil high even when the one last spacer was removed

If it sits dangerously high(your call) check for spacers... If its just inch or a half of an inch or so, I think the suspension may settle down within 500miles or so..

Someone chime in about suspension settling!

All the spacers are removed...and it is not too dangerously high or anything, but there it appears that there is a lil too much gap in the wheelwell maybe it is just me...and the car just hit 500 miles
