Lowering My Car
 
How I go about doing this and what's the usual cost for doing this?

What Year? Coupe? shuttle? Sedan? I4? V6?

Whats is your price budget,goal? How low do you want to go? Are you aware about camber?

Honda Accord Coupe 2007, budget maybe 500? lol....I just want to drop it alittle bit..

With a budget of 500...I would just get springs for now. A decent 2" drop would look nice and make a significant difference.

Look into Eibach Pro-Kit springs, designed for stock shocks. Springs + install should total out to be less than $500.

I am also interested in this as well, but I am unsure about camber and what goes into play when lowering your vehicle.. Didn't mean to infiltrate the thread, but I've seen people talking about negative and positive camber.. On my '95 Accord Ex, what would I be looking for just to eliminate tire gap..

and also planning to get my vehicle aligned after I finish my suspension problem.. Should the alignment come before or after the lowering of the vehicle?? B/C my shop plans to align it after the input of my new Tie End rods, struts and Bearings.. :confused::confused:

Camber along with Toe and caster factor into having a great suspension setup,awell as proper alignment. Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to vertical..

Regardless of whether or not you decide to get the alignment when your shop finishes the job(probably should,since new tie rod ends are being installed),you will need to get an alignment after lowering your car, to prevent uneven tire wear.

To eliminate your wheel gap, Your looking at at least a "1.5 drop to be moderate. An aggressive drop will be anywhere past "2.5
