Default Lowering my 2007

Need some input expertise on lowering my 07. I'm going subtle and sleek with some 18's and only a 1 to 1.5 inch drop. Any recommendations (products) on adjustable springs, shocks, camber kit? Would it be stupid for me to use the existing shocks? Is there anything else I should keep in mind with any other parts that might need to be replaced or adjusted?

If your only lowering it a minimal amount (1 inch) you should be fine, if you plan to go more then 2 inches, you might want to consider new shocks, your oem ones arent gunna hold up longer then a year or 2.

I agree if you are not going to lower much more than 1.5" you are probably ok with stock shocks andMAY not even need camber kits.

i lowered my 96 accord 1.2(eibach prokit)on both sides and i still needed to get a camber kit for the rear.i also replaced allmy shocks when i lowered mine just to be safe.but when i had itre-aligned thats when i found out i needed a rearcamberkit. good luck with yours :-)

I had my 98 hatch lowered with an Eibach Pro-Kit and Tokico blue's. It rode like stock and only lowered it about "1 to "1.2. A lot of guys that run the pro-kit stick with stock shocks/struts b/c the drop is minimal and it rides well.

i got 07 coupe no the v6. i lowered it with the eibach sportline. kept everything stock, after install i hear this knoking noise from the rear wheelwell/spring area on both sides mostly on rear passenger sid, however i been to the shop a bunch of times they cant figure the noise out, they put spacers in didnt solve it, called eibach they said they never heard of this happening, however when theres ppl in my backseat i dont hear it. i would recomned doin soem more research an maybe not goin wiht the sportline or if u do change the oem shocks. an if anyones got some solutions for my noise that would be cool

I have the same problem. I put Pro-Kits on my 95 2.2L and it rattles horribly driving between 20 and 40 MPH, goes away with people in the back or even the passenger seat. Eibach recommends that you replace the OEM spring isolator pad with a new one, but I haven't found them anywhere (I'm sure Honda has them for an arm and a leg.) I've also checked the suspension rasied and on the ground and nothing is rubbing and all the bolts are tight. Hopefully someone will come along with an answer...
