Looking good ryan... I dig the white.

Needs a conservative drop nothing crazy... just enough to kill some of that gap and fix the normal honda accord boat stance.

I've always been fond of Accord wagons. Wagon FTW!

My buddy and I were talking about if we had an Accord wagon. Tint the windows, decent looking rims. Upgrade brake pads then use all that space for a nice system. lol

Chad:

Maybe you can shed some light for me as to what would be good. I heard that stock Prelude springs SUPPOSEDLY lowered these cars 1.5-2". Any truth to that? Also heard that you can use Prelude shocks on an Accord. I ask that because a friend gave me some pretty nice shocks and I'd like to use them on the car. He also gave me some Tein springs that were for a Prelude.

What do you suggest to have the car sit correctly but not be TOO low? The wife will drive this car to work every single day. I want it to still ride like stock but get rid of the "Super Swamper Equipped" type lift.

Here's a cruddy pic from just a few minutes ago. Still have not buffed the car or really given it a good detail. I did put all new brake rotors and ceramic pads all around, I replaced the rear left ABS speed sensor, and I just pulled the antenna out to get a replacement. After this, I'm going to figure out how to add the newer Accord or CL audio control steering wheel. Then, it's time for a small system. Probably 2 10's built into the floor, amps also hidden, and some nice components up front and good coax rear door speakers. Also putting the alarm/remote start from her 98 EX 4 door in this car.

Oh yeah. Is doing a 5 lug swap as easy as just putting Odyssey front hubs/rotors and rear hubs and rotors from Prelude? Or is it really as involved as they act? I already have the 23T front brackets since my car came with ABS and the biggest front discs they offered on this generation Accord. They are 11.1X front rotors just like the V6 Accord, Prelude VTEC, and ITR from what I understand. I don't necessarily need a 5 lug swap but I thought it may broaden my wheel selection.
