Hello fellow HAF members,
this is my first car and the first Honda that i have actually driven. It is a 2dr 4clr 1998 Honda accord. I live in New York and as the summer approaches i have had that sudden urge to hook up my car. I am looking to drop my car and I wanted to know if anyone in New York would be able to tell me what would be the appropriate drop due to the pot wholes and such. I also wanted to know how to go about it, keeping in mind that I am a student and cant afford to go all out.

 

Thanks for joining the forums..This was in the New Member area and you needed to have an answer in the Genl Tech forum ...so I moved you to the correct place.

I would say about a 2 inch drop would be good. Low enough to look good, but not so low that your bottoming out a lot.

The best way to do this would be with coil overs, but that is also the most expensive way.

You could just buy aftermarket springs and put them on your stock struts, or buy after market struts as well.
