Bored, so I just decided to show off some pics of my suspension set up.  Put em on last summer and snapped some pics in the process.  I love the way the car sits after, the wheelwell gap from stock is rediculous, its like a black hole.  The S. Techs brought it down 2 inches in the front and about an inch and a quarter in the rear.  It also really helped get rid of that boat look that the Accord has stock (the front is higher than the rear). The car rides amazing, def hugs the road A LOT better.  I got it aligned right after the install and the front is perfect, but the rear is out 2*... I could get a toe kit to fix that, but I kinda like the look of the slightly tilted wheels.  So, Ive just been rotating the tires every 5k, the wear hasn't been TOO bad.  I LOVE the way it sits now, just gotta get the spacers on to flush it up a bit and the front lip to create even more illusion of low. Wink Here's some before and after pics.  Most of the pics are before they fully settled. Enjoy!

did you order the tokico's on ebay? I ordered a set and the seller sorta screwed me telling me they got lost in the mail then he told me he'd send out another set. I ended up getting my money back and bought koni's.

No... and it is out 2* in the back, but the front is perfect.  Been thinkin about gettin one.  With my last set of tires I just rotated every 5k and the camber wear wasn't too bad.

Well my last set (sumitomo) lasted like 8 months, put em on in march and by december all four were completely bald.  So I just mounted up a set of hankook ventus v12 evos... their like half the treadwear rating.  So well see how they do.  The way I saw it, if their not gonna last long anyway might as well get some that grip real nice. Smiley and the price wasn't bad, got all four shipped for 400.
