    But did you look for my car?

    mine is the same as yours so it's a very good example of
    what you're looking for.

    I just searched your post.
    The white one, right?

    But I couldn't see clearly how the drop looks from the angles you took.

    do you happen to have picture taken directly from the side?
    if you do, do you mind sending it to me?

    what are the pads # you used?

    I'll have to find out from dealer what # pads I have on right now. My car is ALL STOCK at the moment.

    thanks

    I was asking for photos, so I thought gallery section was appropriate.

    Yes, it's white.

    If i remember it right, my pads are #4 front and #3 rear.
    This is a family car so I opted to use Eibach because it doesn't
    aggressively lower the car. Sometimes, i have 3 passengers
    in the car plus all the stuff in the trunk. I have KYB shocks and sometimes I encounter bumps in parking lots and it hits the
    underside but not all the time. I believe Eibachs will lower your car
    only about an inch.

    Take a look at my gallery for more detailed pictures.

    I'm no "Kameraguy" so you have to pardon the quality.

    While I can see you perspective, Gallery is for Member's to show off their rides. Questions not pertaining to a particular person should got to the appropriate section, in this case Suspension.

    Can you list the one's with problems? I'll contact the Member's so they can fix it or I'll remove them.

    your drop is just what I wanted.
    this car is also kinda family car. I share it with my parents... well I just drive my father's in fact.. but I hated the handling of it(floaty) and the looks (I can fit my fist in the front fender gap). handling is part due to 15" stock tires. I'm getting 17" soon (next week I hope).

    thanks for the pics.

    I'm posting my "before" I lowered my car so you'll get an
    idea of how much it dropped after I installed
    the eibach springs.

    hvmercy,

    were the pads you chosen came stock with the car? or you bought them new when you took stock springs out?

    as I said, your drop is just what I wanted. subtle drop to eliminate SUV look but to keep ride quality.

    I guess your car is pre 98. having ugly black lower sides just like mine

    I'll use your car as benchmarking on how low I want to go.
    I'll be on stock shocks for now. they're still ok and I don't know what I'm gonna do with them if I changed them. so I"ll just finish them and get bilstein sport in the future. hope they hold at least 2 yrs down the road.

    Yep, the pads came like that when I bought the car new.
    I used the stock shocks for a little over a year before
    I changed them to KYBs.
    I can't really tell the difference between the stock shock
    and KYBs when I'm all alone in the car. I have to do some
    spirited driving in order to get the benefit of the KYB shocks.
    But then again, I'm a mellow guy

    Yes, it's a 97 and the black undersides also bother me
    a lot but I have more pressing issues to deal with besides
    the cosmetic looks. I've been concentrating my efforts on my
    S2000 and Odyssey.

    I just measured the gaps.

    front: 2.5" and more (there must be tallest pad possible to have gap like this.)
    rear: 2.0"

    You have to consider the arch of the front vs. the rear.
    That is the reason the front have bigger gap.

    didn't think of that.

    from the measurement alone, I'll have about 0.7" of gap left. so no rubbing at the fender

    no I have to worry about the rim width. I'm trying to pick C coupe rims next week. it's 8.5" wide. so I'm little worried the fitment inside the rims. even with stock rims (guess it's 6.5" or so) I have not much room inside to play with. Outside, I have plenty of space left.

    well, I'll have to try them on and see.
