I want to start shopping around for the parts to drop my accord

and this is the look I want:

the rims on the car are 18's and theyre staying. so my question is, is that drop even possible with 18's :thinking: and how much drop am i going for to get that look?

and another question, my dad said the only way i'm dropping if is if it doesnt make the car ride TOO bad. so i have to keep that in mind.

looking to spend around 600 to drop it but i'm hoping to find most of the parts used and make it cheaper.

looking for input, i'm gonna try to get this done in the next couple of weeks.

Adjustable coilovers would do that no problem.

Some used Ground Controls may be the ticket.

It looks to me to be about 2.5" front and 2.25" rear, +/- .5" either way, so at most 2.75" front, 2.5" rear.

so some decent coilovers and alignment should be all i need right? :thinking:

looking to go as low as possible without scrubbing too much, going to change my wheels to something smaller in the future so being about to go even lower is good

just dont want to order the wrong thing, trying to do this halfway right.

Whats a good quality, yet relatively cheap coil over set up cost? I've seen them in summit for about a grand for Eibach. Is there Anything else? My civic was dropped about an inch and a half and made my 17's fill the wheel wells nicely. With Koni Dropped struts and springs. On the CRX Its already got springs, but I want a coil over design for fear of it riding to soft and bottoming out. Thanks
