I like lowered without kit better than kit on a stock height car. The first thing you'd notice on the latter is the wheel gap.

Well soon I'm gonna be adding Tein SS coilovers and full BuddyClub2 kit. I'm actually going to have to *raise* the car a bit because the side skirts for the kit sit really low. It's gonna suck.

actually with a really modest 15, or dare i say 14 inch wheel the stock height is ok. If they made the 01 LX hubcaps as wheels even at 14 inches id buy them. they are very flat and CLEAN. it looks ok stock. anything bigger will exaggerate the gap too much but 15 and 14 are ok.


excuse the wetness its only 12 degrees and snowing like crazy right now! sucks that my campus is on a huge hill...with no abs i re-learned how to brake today and how to control sliding
but even in bad weather the screen stays up!

Lip kit and just barely scraping the ground is the perfect combo!

I like no kit - lowered because it definately looks more clean. But stuff like the HFP from Honda doesn't look bad at all... I just don't care for too intricate of a body kit with all those jagged edges and ****.

IMO, any car (especially with rims) needs to be lowered.


Quick Reply: No kit Lowered....or kit w/o Lowering...what do you Like Better?
