H tech or S tech springs?
 

I want to drop my accord. I have an 03, V6, 6 spd, 2 dr. Im doing this more for handling improvements than anything else but the less fender gap the better. I dont want to rub on tires nor scrap on speed bumps or anything. Also if I go with s tech which camber kit will I need? I plan to stay on stock shocks until they blow, on s tech i think i could get 15k mi. After this Im going to add the TL 20 mm rear sway bar. Im going to be taking this car for open track days so I want some really good handling.

Any pics of the difference between h tech and s tech springs?

Should I be looking at Eibach sportline or pro kit?

RE: H tech or S tech springs?
 

I have the Eibach Pro kit, with koni yellow struts... i really enjoy the setup.

as for the camber kit, the only real way to know what you need is to get it aligned and see how much off spec you are.

I'm also interested in getting the TL 20 (or the 24)mm sway bar, and the neuspeed strut tower bar.

what are the lowering specs of the h/s techs?

and what about rims, are they stock?

RE: H tech or S tech springs?
 

yes, rims are stock.

Do u scrap with the pro kit?
S tech Drop: 2.0/1.2 inches.
H tech Drop Rate: 1.4"/0.7" (ACCORD)

some negative camber may not be a bad thing on the track, it will be for tire wear on the street though (see link)... If you are going for a track setup I'd advise a poly bushing set too.

If i go with the S tech springs, how soft is teh ride going to be. I heard a few thought it was too soft. Also will I start scraping my car on a lot of speed bumps and curbs?

RE: H tech or S tech springs?
 

If you want a track suspension go with bilstein or H&R cup kit, be aware that both of those are real kidney massagers over bumps and ride really rough but handle like a dream on the track.

RE: H tech or S tech springs?
 

I cant, I need to be able to live with the car on the street too. I dont have the money to have only a track toy, otherwise I would build a small formula car or something.

From s tech or h tech. Is s tech going to be too low and cause me to scrap on everything? Also will I require a camber kit with it?

I couldn't tell you on the 03, I don't know much about their clearance tolerances, also, add your car information to your signature block, it makes it easier than trying to remember what everyone drives or scrolling up all the time to find the info.

Measure the distance from the top of your tire to the fenderwell, then take a glance at where the fender will be with the respective drops, you can also look under the car, find the lowest point, measure from the groun up to it and see how much clearance you have, subtract the desired drop and find a speed bump to measure.

Im going to go with H&R sport springs. They had the drop I wanted.

That's why I went with the Konis.. If iw anted to go to the track, I could adjust them to tighten, and the eibach springs were tight enough but soft enough as well when i loosened the struts.
