Tein is good.

 

This thread fits my question so I didn't want to start a new one. My 2000 Accord LX is sitting on 17 inch rims with low pro tires (don't know the tire numbers off the top of my head) all on stock suspension. I want to lower the car about 1-1.5 inch. My question is will it scrap the wheel well? i had a tiburon before my honda where the previous owner cut the struts to lower it and it beat the car to sh*t. I don't want this to happen to my honda.

 

Depends on exactly what wheels those are. 17" diameter by ??? wide? What offset? I'm not really gonna know the answer for you, but you certainly need to provide all the fit data of the wheels. Obviously you also need the tire size.

 

You will be fine as long as the tires are 40 or probably even 45 tall.

1-1.5 is nothing on the accord as they have a pretty high stock ride height.

 

Okay! I will get all the dimensions today and post them! They came with the car so ill have to measure them if it doesn't say it on the tire. I just want to lower it an inch or so because that's how much gap I have between the body and my tire

 

If they're Honda wheels, OK.

If they're aftermarket, then you should get the offset because they might not be a real proper fit in the first place. Usually cast into the wheel on the inside of the spokes somewhere.
17 x 7
ET45
sometimes the offset "ET45" is cast into a different spoke, not right together with the size.

 

Okay so this is what my tires say on them. 215/45R17 87W
Of course I dont know what this means lol

This is a pic up under my front fender above the tires. Thats what im scared of my tire scrapping on.




This is the gap

 

How low do you want to go? That's the biggest




And since you don't want to spend a ton of money, I would suggest Function&Form Type 1 coilovers. Definitely the most bang for the buck. You can find them as low as $530-550 shipped online. That's cheaper than you can find a brand new set of (good) springs and shocks. For the price, they ride decently well, and because of the design, they don't get bouncier the lower you go. ANd you can go un-drivably low on these lol.

 

Anybody selling any lowering spring

 

Let me google that for you
