The springs are on.. :'(...It's only a 1- 1 1/4" drop... Had to keep it "daily driven".. My wife and daughters also couldn't tell the difference.. :'(

Hmm...that doen't sound very promising :(
1 1/4 may make a visible difference on a car, but with minivan ride height to deal with...you could definitely have gone lower. Might look odd with the bodykit - kits on stock (or near stock) height vehicles don't look as good as they good. Still, eager to see with with kit and wheels

Wow the change is DRASTIC :o Im impressed. I did feel bad before about my spring comment but after everything came together it actually appears to be lil lower nice job.

Wonderful! It does look so mcuh better with the kit and wheels installed. I still think it could use less gap, but that is by far the hottest Odyssey I've seen this side of Japan.

is that a wheel that you can loop your hose on the last pic??nice!!! Get air suspension!!!!!!

The car looks promising!!great job!

Herb

Thanks everyone for the comments..It's pretty much done for now..Just a leather kit for the interior, fog lights and rear hatch wing from fabulous...

Yes it is...18" SSR GPO..A bad wheel from my buddies accident..

nice
my ody's in the make over process right now as well

just give the springs a little time. once it settles, it will drop the van down a little more

nice. this oddy would look nice with air. ;)

looks great... glad you put the stock grill back ;) air and some dish wheels would make that the best vip van state side (until i get my van done :) )

i photoshopped a better drop and i honestly think it'll improve the look of the car.

Needs bigger, better fitting wheels, and way lower... but great start. 

With that drop man, that would be sex on wheels. Also, even in that Photochop, you still have pretty good clearance.

Looks great man, glad to see it coming along well!

hey.
Nice. Looking good.
As other said. it would look good with. better .....


but. anyways. do you plan on changing your tailights. ?
Where the orange is. Swapping to white.

Just curious

Thanks for the comment.. Wheels may be changed in time...19's eventually...Lower, I think never.. It's good as it is for a daily driver..I can barely fit my toes under the front valance with it coming out of my drive way.Plus the springs are still "settling down"..I have a hard time clearing the rack at my house... Air suspension, out of the questions. I always had friends with daily driven cars with "bags" that was a constant maintinence whore or just problms with leakage.. Plus soccer season just started and I am the "soccer dad" for the team... :'(

SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POSTS..

But the wagon is officially done for now..Just the leather interior, led lgihts inside and out, and hopefully a fabulous rear wing and fog lights.. 


I just let the wife drive it the next day after the show and she already scrapped the front... :tickedoff: Was I mad...no.. It would eventually happen but s*** happens right..


Thanks again everyone for the comments...Good and bad... I really appreciate it.. :angel:
