TEIN or TANABE - 5/22/2008 6:16:03 PM    03Sleeper   Posts: 1894 Joined: 6/15/2006 Status: offline The stock spring rates for an 2003 honda accord sedan? just curious. I am interested in getting TANABE NF210 lowering springs for my ride: http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/nf210.asp They claim that the spring rates are only up to 5% higher than stock....eliminating need to replace shocks too ( i think ) Can someone verify that claim and tell me what the stock spring rates are? EDIT - So TEIN or TANABE..... < Message edited by 03Sleeper -- 5/23/2008 9:43:15 PM > _____________________________ 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 Post #: 1

RE: Does anybody know.... - 5/23/2008 8:51:06 PM    03Sleeper   Posts: 1894 Joined: 6/15/2006 Status: offline That's guesswork though....I already have those numbers. NF210- NF210 coil spring features a tasteful drop, and produces the best overall ride quality and comfort. The lowered stance of the NF210 gives the car an elegant pose, while the spring rates, which are only slightly raised (up to 5% over stock) retain factory ride quality settings.This coil spring is extremely popular with luxury tuned vehicles, as well as those with larger diameter wheels that want to eliminate fender gap, but maintain excellent driveability while reducing the risk of damage to wheels that is associated with stiffer suspensions.Comfort especially important on daily driven vehicles, and their passengers. The NF210 provides the best driving experience for all types of roads. Spring rate(F/R): 5.6/2.5 Drop: 1.5"/1.5" that means stock: 5.32 / 2.375 you think my shock stocks can handle that change? EDIT- How the 1.5" drop would look like. I think its sexii. < Message edited by 03Sleeper -- 5/23/2008 9:44:45 PM > _____________________________ 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 BlkCurrantKord) Post #: 4

I would think so... Eibach Pro-Kits lower 1.4/1.2 for your gen and they are fine a stock shocks. It's definitely worth a shot, if they're to harsh you'll know it by an excessively bouncy ride or blowing a shock sooner than it should. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF 99 Accord F23A1 5MT (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 6

I''''''''m defin. gonna rock these: http://www.jazzproparts.com/tanabe_lowering_springs_normal_feeling_form_df210_p/tnf075.htm There''''''''s a dilemna though...should I get springs first or rear sway? EDIT - http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/spring_applications.asp?id=2 Any reason why the V6 is 1.3/1.0 whereas the I4 is 1.5/1.5? They are the same part. Is it because the V6 sits lower (heavier ?) This is a n00b question...how do you know when your shock is blown?
