Pro-Kit and some 215/45/17...4th Gen..am I too HIGH?
Just like the title says...If I get the Pro-kit with 205/45/17's will I be riding high (not THAT kind of HIGH you druggies!
)?
here are my choices: (Stock Shocks for now)
205/45/17's on Neuspeed Sport:
215/40/17's on Pro Kit
205/45/17's on H&R
I want as much OEM ride as possible!

Like you.I really dont care what others "LIKE"..what Im concerned about is performance...I will be using the car as a DAILY COMMUTER (200 miles/day) and would like Better Gas Mileage and quiet/comfortable ride but at the same time have good Grip/handling capabilities.

pro-kits work well w/ stock shocks to give ya a stock ride...they lower it enough but you'll still have a 3-4 finger gap.
21545/17 are the correct size for 17"s on an accord. you wouldn't want it any thinner due to the miles u rack up a day. actually im not even sure if u should even get 17"s for that many miles a day! but hey who am i to judge?
BTW i have sportlines on my car...they ride real nice

well pro kits and some decent shocks (kyb agx, koni reds/yellows, etc... ) will give u a pretty much stock ride with less leaning etc.... lil sportier, not bouncy.... im not sure what the 17's will do, but it wont be bad at all.... im looking for the same basics as you, and thats what im gonna do eventually, all i need is the rims/tires now.....

My Stokies right now are NOT even the 15's on the EX (stupid dealer) so Im thinking of getting the lowering springs and shocks first and go from there....PLUS the 14's that are on it right now has BRAND NEW TIRES (thanks dealer)...
