Dimpling front fenders... Possible suspension issue.
9 years ago I went to a performance shop online and purchased some springs and didn't know that instead of getting a 1.5" spring drop I got 2.75". As time progressed, I noticed my front fenders slowly dimpling which is telling me something is really wrong here.
So before I drop thousands and thousand into my car to get her up and running again, I need to know if I messed up my Accord because of the drop and should I just purchase another and start all over.
Anyone experience this or knows anyone who had this happen to them?
Great site by the way...

The dimpling is probably cause by the upper control arm/ball joints hitting the fender over large bumps. Did you get better shocks when you bought the springs? Those are likely way worn out and can't control the spring from slamming the control arm into the fender.
What year is the Accord? Post that info in your signature (click 'User CP', edit signature, make sure 'attach signature always' or whatever is checked).
It would probably be in your best interest to buy new springs and shocks if you want to save the car. Suspension bushings probably need to be replaced as well.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will post my specs as soon as I get off of work but just so you know it is a 1994 Honda Accord EX Sedan. I will look into that I was just afraid I might have messed up more then the Panels. Like the structure.
