This is my weekday drive so I wanted to do something to make the cd5 look bit better with the balance of a good ride.
Enjoy and hope you good luck with your decision! If you want photos let me know.
I'll post them up here!

Oh and I wouldnt cut/reset the standard springs either, BIG NO NO!!

get k-macs, better quality than kings imo. U can get them for about the same price as kings, fitted to the height you wanted as they manufacture in house.
Beware that the lower your springs are, the more your stock shocks will prematurely wear. A drop of anything more than 2inches will pretty much destroy your shocks.

king lows are 1.5inch drop (dont quote me)
so if ur going to get kmacs, dont get anythign more than 2inch drop unless your accounting for changing ur shocks sooner rather than later...which will break your piggy bank.

sorry guys been busy of late!
here are the pics as requested! it doesnt look all that dumped but as FAT VTI said, they only come down 1.5inch. Still looks better than standard height in my opinion and good price fitted! The photos dont do it justice i reckon. In real life you can probably fit just under 2 fingers at the front and 1 & half at the rears.

nice vti cd5 there xcwizit... i love it man except the gold-ish rear plate trim and the accord/vti emblems. my suggestion is to get some clear side fender markers. =)

ahh cheers for the pics damn i was hoping for king spring lows to be lower :(

they are on stockies too, so if u got 17s or 18s remember it will prob (dont quote me) be higher due to the increase rolling diameter.

thanks mate, yeah when I bought the CD5 apparently the gold trims meant it was a 20th anniversary edition. Was an extra bonus for me because I was just after any CD5 Vti at the time I was looking for one since I got my wrx as my weekend car I really wanted this particular model accord as my everyday car. I picked it up for $6k in december full service history and more! I love these models and the 94-95 models also!

What are those clear side fender markers you're talking about?
