ok, ive done a test fit on my body kit.. had to do lots of damn cutting and sanding to make it fit but... anyways,,, the bar n side n rear is really low.. my car is stock height :S and it looks weird with the wheel gap.
what springs lower ur car but not too much
maybe 1inch drop MAX LOL.. i can just get over my driveway now.. and if i get a 1" drop ill be able to sorta seriously JUST make it sumtimes depending on my angle LOL... at the moment i got about 1cm clearance from my driveway when i just reverse out not having to really go on any crazy angles..
this has stumpped me.. the body kit is buddyclub on the 1994 accord..

any suggestions?oh and i got sum springs sitting here but are 2" drop i think the kit will be around 3 cm off the floor if i did that. :S
suggestionssss

Get some hydrolic shocks and pump it high when entering driveways and getting it towed etc.. :D

Well at least thats what I would like to do, but i'm guessing they are very expensive...

I'm so over the hassles of a lowered car (especially when it gets towed and changing tyres), gonna keep it stock on my next car.

Your ground clearance looks ok to me. Maybe look at parking it somewhere else if you cant get it up your drive way? Alternatively you could go to an airbag suspension kit like someone else mentioned and just raise and lower it to get in and out.

yo here's mine.
lowered about 1.5inch front and 2inch rear.
measurement under front bar is 90mm.
with 18s the gap under the wheel guard is pretty much gone... 19s would be better though.

yeah, u'll find that if you bought 18s or even 17s, the gap between the guard and the wheel would be significantly less.. without sacrificing ride-height
