Post your drop with pics....

Eibach Pro-Kit with Koni Yellow adjustables and 17" Katana VR(forgot the full name). The drop was very slight...right around one inch. I no longer own this car though (thank God!). I couldn't stand the ride.

dinz, do you not get any rubbing at all? It looks like you would. Hows the ride?



the ride is sweet....not too bumpy unless it's a big bump...but allot better than my friend's lowered cars that have springs...i don't rub unless i brake really hard into a turn.....and that's cause the front tire hits the front fender....the rear is really really close....but never rubs....
 
I would appreciate anyone's input on this... I have the Tokico 5-way adjustable kit, they've been on for about 4-5 months. The car sits noticebly lower on the driver's side. I took it back the shop that installed them and they said it is common because in my car the heaviest parts of the engine and transmission are mounted ont he driver's side, plus this is the location of the driver. They said the springs "settle" after a while. Anyone else experience the same thing? Just a little annoying (cosmetically) at times.

I have the Tokico Illumina kit as well, and in my case, my rear left side sits lower than my rear right side, by maybe a half-inch. It's not significant, but it is noticable if you sit and stare at it for a while. Fronts seem to have an even drop. Also, while the kit claimed a 1.5" drop all around, I actually found my drop to be closer to 1.8" in front, and 1.4" in the rear. This is on a 2000 Accord sedan.



It worried me the first little while, but I have asked for more experienced opinions, and the consensus seems to be that it's fine. I've even grown to like the slight front rake that it gives my car. Every car is just different, and will drop differently even on the same exact springs.
 
Suspension is L-Tuned springs (about 1" drop all around) and L-Tuned sways (TRD red). 18" L-Tuned rims (Versus Campionato SS7) wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport AS (225/40/18). Handles much better than stock but still civilized.
