maybe try lowering camber plates. Should not affect your ride quality but will drop you another .5 inch.

You are basically stuck unless you have coilovers, before I did I tried a few different tire sizes and nothing really helped

Coilovers ride better then springs just an FYI... My car rides great and is not bumpy at all.

There are are definitely some soft and comfortable coilover options out there. And the coils definitely ride better than springs.

I think a lot of people run group n lowering camber plates. You could always dial your camber in regularly.

I'm going to be installing st coilovers this weekend. I'll let you know how they ride. Heard they're rebranded kw's so they should ride pretty smooth.

I guess everyone on here who has no wheel gap should just buy a Honda? Your comment is pointless, not helpful and just side tracking a thread. You just made a comment that everyone has made in the past hope you feel "like cool dood" ... Btw I do have a 07 accord and love it! Great on gas! Once again your comment= pointless/ not helpful...

I think the honda comment was more aimed at the idea of cutting/torching springs.


When it comes to slam factor, hondas aint ****.

Reason I'm not getting coilovers is because last time I asked for a suggestions regarding a good dd coilover that wnt burn a hole through my pocket since I don't need it for tracking I just ended up getting into it here with a certain person. Got the usual lecture.. From people... I just simply want my car lowered with no wheel gap. Not flushed in just no gap with my tires and fenders... Had coilovers before that I bought from brucelee with " low miles" front coilovers where blown and just ended up having a bad experience . just wnt to get rid o this freakin gap lol wt tires series is after a 45? Anyone rocking anything bigger than a 45 series tire?
