07 accord suspension upgrade - 6/27/2008 2:02:16 PM    asian420   Posts: 2 Joined: 6/27/2008 Status: offline I was wondering if someone could help me out. I have an 07 accord ex-l coupe and am looking to put some 20" wheels on it, I am also looking for a lower kit for it. Any recommendations or suggestions, I''ve heard lowering springs cause a harsh ride, true or false? Post #: 1

Is there anything else beside lowering springs? camber kit or new struts? where can i find these things? (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 3

Some people with as little as 0.7" drop had ridic camber that had to be corrected with a camber kit. With the 2007 Accord, I am unfamiliar with the suspension, which is pretty sad since I own an 03, suspension just aint my specialty. :p _____________________________ 2003 Accord LX Sedan I4| 5AT 101045 Injen SRI w/ AEM Dryflow| DCSports Ceramic Headers| DENSO IK20 Sparks| CF Front Strut Bar| Pioneer TSG950M 6x9s| Alpine SPS17C2 6.5"| C-Tek Slotted/Drilled Rotors | Progress 24mm Rear Sway Bar (in reply to asian420) Post #: 4
