I'm looking for a cheap solution to lower my car other than cutting the springs and I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/B-HONDA-ACCORD-90-97-EX-DX-LX-COILOVER-SPRING-93-94-91_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33582QQihZ004QQitemZ140006653934QQrdZ1

Are these any good? Anyone here have em installed? Does this blow my stock shocks? Can I get some feedback, thanks!

Hi new Member
Welcome to the forums...

I never used there springs before , but the company looks legit.Give them a call and ask them about there product and if they have any one selling there product locally in your area..

Good Luck:

as a side note, in general, dont look at cutting the factory springs, your chances of having the wheels slam into the wheel well are very high when you hit bumps, the unless you have a newer car with a sports package generally the springs arent stiff and dont have a spring rate in consideration of losing a few inches

I'm not going to cut my springs, ever. I wanna make sure those can support my stock shocks.

if you plan on lowering the car, the stock shocks wont be able to handle it, the will eventually blow, but those seem like the skunk2 coil overs which i have in my car and do a great job. So basically if you are going to lower your car you will want to look into new shocks.

what if the coilovers are the last thing you'll ever do to the car? I don't want my car lowered that much to preserve the sleeper look.
