Default Need 95 lowering info fast.

I have a '95 Accord sedan that was on air and I took it off like a week ago. I have 205/40/17's and I have a big gap lol. How low are people going with this setup? I'm guessing 2in, now I can measure but if I can go lower I would but I was never good at math lol.

I'm considering the coilover kits that are complete with hats, coils and all, a complete drop in. I'd like to stay around $300 if possible and need info and help with a place to buy a decent kit. Not racing, just a nice height daily driver for the family. I don't need Tokico's stuff lol.

Not sure if you will find anything in that price range...might check the WTS section to see if someone is selling their set up.

you won't find anything for $300 the shocks alone will run you at min $100 each for anything that can handle the abuse of any type of drop. The bang & Forum type 1's. They are $600 cheaper than piecing a set together. Don't use OEM or OEM replacement shocks they will blow within weeks. Don't use ebay coilovers they tend to break and trust me you don’t want to be driving down the road doing 50 and your suspension fails. That would be a bad day. Also the cheap stuff will have terrible ride quality

Well, I found Tokico's coilovers with their shocks for complete bolt in for $585 shipped. I've found Tein's for $350ish. I don't need a racer handling setup.

PS: I used stock struts from my parts car that has 300,000 miles so most kits can surely only gain ride quality lol
