Default just ordered an 8th gen coupe. looking for a good 2" drop spring f/r?

Hello. I have always owned lowered or bagged vehicles, so i am ok with some harshness. I know i wont be happy with the 1.5" eibach drop. I'd like something more aggressive. Any suggestions? Im not really interested in coilovers. Thanks

H&R has springs that should get you 2". then you'll need to pair them with some good shocks/dampers that are rated for that drop. the stock shocks won't take that much drop. what exact year/model/trim/engine?

I'd go with coilovers...you said your use to bagged drops well I'm sure you won’t be happy with just a 2' drop..I know I wasn’t. Also need to know what year and trim accord you have..that does help allot.
Tien and Function and Form makes good "full coilover" set ups. Depending on what year your accord is you can get the Function and Form type 1's for like 600bucks...

It is a v6 coupe, auto (i'm going to regret that).i had coilovers on my crossfire. I liked the look but they were noisy as hell. I'd be interested in any suggestions you have!

depends on what type of coilovers you had. The real deal coilovers are quite....I have yet to see a GM with coilovers that are quite they always make noise. But I have never had a prob. with coilovers on any of my cb's I have had cheapo coilovers and they didn’t make a sound

like said ^^^^ F&F and Tein are good set ups for hondas

I'm probably going with K Sport Kontrol Pro Damper - KSPORT-CHD08-KP-74

Very good pricing for a fully adjustable coilover set. Having monotube construction is supposed to reduce noise.

I have a 98 accord coupe ex and I have SOOOO much noise coming from the rear with a skunk2/tokico blue set up. The funny thing is I had the EXACT same set up on my 96 accord (different gen I think) and had NO problems.

Can you confirm the F&F make no noise? if so, I will buy today. I want my coupe as low as possible with the best possible ride.
TIA!
