Are you doing it just for looks or for the actual functionality of lowering a car? i.e. are you going to be tracking the car or just daily drive it?

I am ASSuming it's for looks. Hope you're ready to spend big bucks.

You will need to order a set of coilovers of your choice and a rear camber kit and a front if you are gonna slam.

Camber kits. Get wider wheels with lower offset, and TL sway bars. I have TL-S 17x8 +45 offset and the car almost feels like its on rails. I'm lowered ~2.5 inches.

235/40/R18's is what she is on so any wider would be beyond the wheel wells.

So you're on 18x8 wheels I'm guessing. If you drop your car, the wheels will sink in. I plan on going with 18x9.5 in 265/35/18 tires in the future and it'll be a flush fitment.

I'm pretty sure the wheels will hit the lip of the well if dropped too low. they are flush right now I just checked. in this case what is a safe drop measure ment?

It really depends on the wheels offset.

[Phlip96]

fender rolling?

[07AccordEx-L]

It won't. It all depends on how low you are and your camber adjustment settings. I am lowered ~2.5". I do rub a little but either way you will need to roll fenders with an 8" width or more depending on offset. I can't give you an exact answer because everyone is different and things like this are trial and error. If you could tell us exactly how low you're gonna go then it might help.

[slvrbulet]

how low could I go with just coilovers?

[namegoeshere]

235/40/R18 doesn't mean anything. We still need to know wheel width and offset to determine what you can (or can't) do.

[07AccordEx-L]

Around ~3" max.

@namegoeshere, I think they're 18x8 judging by the tire specs.
