Technically, you can do what you want. :cool:

But no, that's not generally recommended. You're mixing factory springs with aftermarket lowering springs with different spring rates.

As said, you can do this, but why do you want to?

Thinking about it, it would shift the cars weight bias more towards the rear and change the handling and braking characteristics of the vehicle. Most likely, for the worse.

S*** it would probably make traction worse when accelerating from low speed/a dig too. Less weight on the front tires would give you less traction, similar to when you are accelerating up hill from a stop.

I would not touch the OEM springs. Honda knows what they are doing. With that said do WTF you want. It's your car.

Ahh ok, makes a lot sense. I will most likely not be doing that lol, and will install springs this weekend see if i need need rear or front adjustable toe arms/chamber kit. I feel like I most likely will cause any slant would drive me crazy.
The Drop they say is 1..0 -1.2 in front and 1.2-1.4 in back, I have stock rims and tires.
any other suggestions, I kinda regret. not getting the whiteline springs.

Oh yea, the Ol' Carolina Lean. I hate it, and it is usually accompanied with an obnoxious exhaust. Good thing NC legislation is about to ban that garbage! :thumbsup:

Not even a little Lol . I hear what your saying modifications arent for everyone.
I think we all see a version of our cars like ourselves, forever changing and growing always improving, sometime like to take it fast or slow, willing to take some risks and look sexy doing it.
