Stock 7.5 Vs 7.0 Ride Height

I was looking at a couple of photos of some 7.5 gen accords. To me it seems like the 06-07 accords sit a little lower. Even when I compare my 03 Coupe to my brother's 07 Sedan his seems to sit a little lower.

Just measured our two cars. The measurements line up almost exactly. 27 1/4 inches in the front and 27 even in the back.

Does the 7.5 appear to be lower to anyone else or am I going crazy?

Yes, those are the correct measurements. It may be your eyes playing tricks on you due to the two different body styles (front bumper/grill and rear trunk lid, bumper & lamps of the 7.5G)?

Here are mine before I installed coilovers:

Passenger Front


Passenger Rear

That's just about the same measurements that I got for my car. Something about it just makes it look lower. It might be the body style or the rim.

Your stock wheels are 16" w/ 205-60, my stock are 17" 215/50. I'm sure that's why - 17" takes up more of the wheel gap

I measured my wheel gap too while I was out there. My gap is just about three inches from the top of the tire. My brother has the same size wheels as me and his gap was also about 3 inches.
