Ordered a set of these. You should too lol. Looks like a fair price, and they are good for all 55K cars.

Looks like a 10 min job per wheel.

You won't regret it. I know a good place to get an alignment if you need it.

i like the lowering links better then the electronic controlers.. i have heard allot of mixed reviews about wiring issues, cut and splicing wires.... just not worth it.. just swap the links adjust alignment and your set... once you want to put it back to stock.. spend 20 min and its done

Good to hear guys!

My plan is to lower the car about 1". That will be with the ABC in the normal, lowest setting. It will look real good that way.

When driving in harsh areas, I'll hit the ABC button 2 times, and bring it up to maximum height, which will be the same as it in it's lowest position as it sits now.

You'll want to go lower than one inch. It won't be low enough. Around two is more like it

Swapping pins now. No cutting or splicing wires.

Yup. Takes less time than installing lowering links and I can return the car to stock settings with a hit of a button. Also all 4 corners are the same height and no need to F around trying to get the height set up correctly on all 4 corners like using the links. But hey, these cars are getting cheap enough that the Honda crowd can afford them and start modding them. And this is what we have here...(no offence to the OP).

I do things the right way and not cheap out. Others will argue that the links is the best way to go but it doesn't over ride the lowering of the car after 70mph so your alignment will be off and you will burn through more tires. Once the module is installed, it overrides the stock computer and the car stays at that height no matter how fast you go.

Also 1" is going to be F-all on these cars. I'm completely dumped at 2" and it started to finally look good.

Radride:

I'm also big about doing things the quality way- but a mechanical way here seems like an easier, faster fit. Not to mention cheaper. I plan to lower the car slightly, I'm not going for an all out dropped show car look. I need this car to function correctly too. And it already is too low for Los angeles real world driving IMO. That's why I'll just match all 4 tierods up to the same size, slightly shorter then the factory ones, and install them all in 30-40 mins.

Whatever the car already does (lowering at speed etc.. ) it will still continue to do, just slightly lower. Double pressing the button will raise it back up to practical driving height on distressed city streets.

And just for comparison, the maximum difference from ABC fully lowered to fully raised is a Mercedes Benz claimed 0.95". And that makes a huge visual impact.

I have a question for you guys. I am sitting on 285/30/20 rear and 245/35/20 front and now on stock setting as i ride i guess 70mph or so i hear my car rubs on something sometimes if i raise one setting all good,also going thru rear tires like crazy 3k or so and the insides are gone. I was told that there is no adjustments for rear but as i was driving behind my car yesterday i asked my friend to raise it all the way up and noticed the rear tires looked more straighter in the high setting. I just ordered the lowering links from Ebay $145 and like the look but how to fix this problem as if i drop the car lower that would make it even worst. Any input????/

A combination of a good alignment and flipping your rear tires should extend the life out to 8k or so in the rear. Your toe may be pretty off.
