Suspension Help - 11/14/2006 3:34:10 PM    DesertAccord Posts: 6 Joined: 11/3/2006 Status: offline I'm not new to the tuning world but I'm new to Honda tuning. I came an Audi to a Honda so I have some learning to do. I'm looking to lower my car to improve handling and the look. I'm thinking of going coilovers instead of spring/shock combo. So.. My question is. Could someone point me in the way of some suspension manufacturers? I have a 07 Accord Couple EX-L. Any help is greatly appreciated. Post #: 1

I too am looking to lower my '02 accord coupe. Just wondering what the best way to do so would be? Any ideas on how much it may cost? Am only looking to lower 2-3 inches, not much at all. Appreciate the guidance - Thanks, Al (in reply to YeuEmMaiMai) Post #: 3

You can either choose coilover (adjustable) or the strut/spring combo. Both can lower your car and 2-3 inches is actually quite a bit. you probably looking at spending anywhere from $600 to a couple of grand. Just figure out what is important to you, do you want to adjust the ride height (coilover)? Or more focus on just handling? The strut spring kits also sometimes have firmness adjustment on the struts. _____________________________ You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. 95 EX Auto OBX 4-2-1 Header Type R Strut Bar SRI 174k miles (in reply to acs4ny) Post #: 4

I'm a big fan of H&R personally. They make a "cup kit" which is an adjustable coil over spring/shock setup for around $650ish.... Like someone said there's lots of options it just matters what's the most important to you _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!
