Dark_Sub_Rosa, thanks for the pictures! The drop actually looks really sweet I think I may go with Espelir...

Couple questions though:
Do you have enough ground clearance (say, to go over speed bumps)?
Does your offer still stand (installing spring)?

Thanks

yea.. you can clear most things you need to clear, you just have to drive with caution and not act like your in a 4x4. Take ramps at angles and other things of that nature. I never worried about it that much, I am use to driving lowered cars... My daily driver is stock height right now though so I'm afraid when I get another S I'm going to have to remind myself I'm not in the Integra lol.

Yea.. whenever you get the springs let me know and we'll work out a weekend day to change out your springs. Not a huge deal.

I have an 05 and thinkinkg of Eibach Pro Kit. They are more expensive but seem to been the premiere brand for going 1-1.5 lower with stiff cornering and maintaining ride quality. Whay has no one mentioned Eibach?

1.5 is pretty low most likely why, and I'm not sure about the 1, but with the Espelir's being such good springs along with Tein, probably just not a reason to go with the Eibachs.

I'm sure they are nice springs, but for me, I think 1.5" is little too much... By any chance, do you have pics?

Thanks.

My bad. 1-1.5 is the range for Eibach's whole line. I guess an Accord could go 1.5"

For our car it is 1" F/ 1"R. Nice.
