Don't lower the car, the compromise in ride quality and lower resale you get for the car is just not worth it.

I have 18s on, not lowered and the ride quality is already bordering on unbearable. If I wanted to commute in discomfort I would just catch the bus.

Well right now i actually think the ride is more confortable then previous with my 15". My tyres are 225\35\19 maybe the wider tyre makes it feel much better?

Ill let you know how the ride is after i lower it =) hopefully its not too bad

Hi Guys,

I just dropped my car in this morning to get my car lowered.... Im at work now and the waiting is distracting me from working. All i have on my mind is my car and the damage that can be done to my rims...

Paranoia

I think changing to bigger rims and thinner rubber downgrade the ride quality more than loweing/coilovers-ing the car with the stock wheels/rubber... not too sure though...

[Frost_FD]

Right now the ride actually feels alot better than having 15" on the car, of course you can feel more gravel and rocks but turning and going over bumps is nothing for the wider wheels of a 19".

I dont think you will regret lowering your car and getting springs or coil overs, btw way my tyres are 225\35\19 so thats a pretty thin tyre.

Here are some pics guys

[Shimian]

not my taste of rims but thumbs up for going 19s. Youre gonna be turning heads big time with those rims

[denot]

agree with simian, "bling bling" rims are not my style as well... but it will sure do turn heads and it fits nicely to your FD!!! Grats!!!

[Frost_FD]

Thanks guys, i know bling isn't alot of people style thats why i like to be unique and have big chromies on our FDs.

I am into racing and weight reduction but it just cost too much to modify Hondas, so i took the initiative and went for the bling style. My start button is coming today so you guys can guess which way i am leaning towards.

BTW the ride is alot more rough... You have to sacrifice comfort for looks =)

[jckidz]

looks good & love the drop.. but the wheels look very big without any bodykit.. oh ya, any problem with turning full lock / scrubbing issues? cause i'm thinking to lower my car as well
