i have a 95 accord coupe ex...i want to lower it....definately with coilovers....but would i need to replace both my shocks and struts? and would they need to be adjustable? which brand would be the best for the money? any info would be great thanks

 

Shocks and struts are the same thing, just different names. I think you mean springs and shocks. If you buy coilovers they will replace both the spring and shock, and all coilovers are by their nature adjustable. If you just buy new springs you can keep your shocks, but it is not advisable, since the lower ride will put more stress on the shocks than they are designed for. Any way you go if you lower the car by more than an inch you should buy a camber kit as well.

 

ohhh...hmm i never knew that i have been looking at this stuff for a while too...so i need to buy coilovers and struts..which are seperate things, right ? and then a camber kit as well.. ?

 

if you buy coilovers you wont need to buy shocks/struts...if you buy coilover sleeves then you will need to buy shocks/struts...I havent lowered my car yet but from what I hear most Hondas need a rear camber kit

 

what is a coilover sleeve ?
i thought i knew stuff about this subject....

coilovers = http://www.cardomain.com/item/HNR51812?vq_id=none

 

ok im confused....sry...just tell me what i need to buy to lower it...i guess

 

Since you want coilovers you can get:

1. coilover sleeves with aftermarket shocks ( alot of people have Ground Control with Koni Yellows)
2. coilovers ( alot of people have the Tein SS)

...just do more research so that you feel more comfortable with what you are buying

 

thanks.........any other info is appreciated!

 

Hmm, this brings up some interesting things because, I lowered my car simply by buying Neuspeed lowering springs and Tokico struts. It's definitely lower, and the ride is a heck of a lot smoother, and my car so far hasn't given me problems with my this new suspension. I've had this suspension for close to a year now. I spend a total of $460 on these parts for my suspension. It most likely not as great as these entire coilover systems which cost close to a Grand, but it's definitely fairly decent and much better than factory.
