I'm not going to get into this argument again but cutting springs is a terrible and Honda Owners Forum method of lowering your car...

Has the V2 controller with the adjustable dampers up front. Would lay out lower but the tractor tires I have hold up the front about 1-1/2".

Id take that as a compliment mate!
das eighty, i posted a few on another thread but heres more...
we lifted the front 1.5cm after this and made the front springs stiffer. not much difference in appearance but i think it solve the problem of the fender rubbing.

Take that as a compliment of course haha, it looks excellent man I had no idea how much a drop would set your build off like that. Now just tint those windows dark and you'll be good to go

For real though man your car looks amazing, that's just my personal opinion but it's all up to you. Either way I can't imagine that car NOT breaking necks

That all depends on how low you go, the rear wheels will hear hard on the inside edges due to camber you usually can't fix that with out being able to adjust camber (we can't to my knowledge). The fronts usual wear normal. But you should always get a professional alignment after lowering.

Im fairly confident that there is not a car in this thread that is lowered, that does not experience abnormal tire wear. Which is where the modules have an advantage IMHO. Most of them raise the car back up a bit at a certain MPH to help with abnormal tire wear.

No, there is no way to adjust camber on the stock setup that's why you have to shell out the money for KMAC camber adjusters when you're done, Pinebaron has done this and has been able to get his suspension back to stock specs, otherwise you will experience abnormal tire wear that is part of the natural suspension geometry of a lowered car. Once again, it all depends how low you go and regardless as jak put it, you should have an alignment done to get you as close as possible to stock specs after. But, the proper way would be to get the adjusters.

I learned my lesson when I first lowered my car after getting a new set of Michelin pilot sport a/s and inner wear killed all of them in 8,000 miles .. Goodbye $1200. As mentioned, I would also recommend KMAC bushings or keep the lowering to a minimal and make sure your toe alignment is spot on.
