I'm with Tony1234 on this one... Ok so the first pic is of before shot and the last one is after. The Rear is alittle bit lower because we had put the front shock purch on the wrong way but thats now fixed and is now even.
I've got the same set up as Tony1234 and i bluddy love it! I can't ask for a better shock and spring combo!

Yes, stock shocks have the lower spring perch at a different height to aftermarket shocks.Quote:

ok..thanks everyone for the input! much appreciated! Im not one of those who want the car to look ridiculously low, just want the car to sit lower than stock. .QD's ride height is pretty close to what im after.
Xplodin, that second pic, the rear is heaps lower (as you explained), but now that u have fixed the problem, is the front and rear similar to the rear of the second pic or slightly higher?
I hear that ppl can be taken to court etc for repeatable defect notices when i read a post by rein :confused:
how many times would u be defected before something serious happens (eg. going to court etc)? and what are the red stickers in NSW?
go with coilovers man.. that way if you get done by the cops, raise it yourself, get it cleared and then lower it again.
They're cheap now.. $1699 from a trader on ozhonda: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ight=buddyclub
I've got mine lowered on these and they're awesome.. sits low, but high enough not to scrape over everything at low speeds. I've only had an issue with my ride height once with the cops and that's cause i was sitting on 18's.. and my buddyclub exhaust hangs really low..

Did you try looking at the first page of the Accord Euro section? You would have seen this thread: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120925Quote:
