I currently own a 2009 Honda accord LX 2.4L coupe I want to raise this car as a result of rough terrain. The roads are not good and I love this car that I dont want to sell it instead I am ready to spend some money on it.
I will like to know:
1. If anybody has raised or seen a raised honda accord before?
- the raise kit "08-2010 Honda Accord L4 KSport Airtech Basic Suspension System" is compatible with my car
2. How much raise can I get with this kit
3. What is the maximum tire size I can use on this car after installing the raise kits.
4. Is there any known issue with a raised car.

Thanks for your help

 

You could jack up your Honda but then you would be on the front page of FAIL:

 

AAWWWwww, don't be MEAN. There's lots of places where the roads aren't smmmmoooooth enough for a 4" drop. Funny picture tho.

 

That's a Toyota. That's the fail in the picture, not the fact that it's raised If it were a Honda clearly it would be an epic win.

1. I have seen one raised Honda sporting chrome 20s in my town, it was an awful sight, but that's very different from what you intend to do.

2 and 3. I sent the company a message asking those questions, what lift can you get and what tires will be applicable, I'll let you know if/when they respond! I also asked if it was a kit that was heavy duty enough for off-road use or if it was more of a cosmetic lift kit for street use. You want to ensure this kit will hold up. They don't have business hours over the weekend, so I'd expect a response on Monday or Tuesday.

4. One thing that happens with a lift is a higher center of gravity, which means, of course, that you need to be careful with cornering etc. To offset this you can get hub spacers or something similar to widen the stance of your wheels or even get wider wheels and tires.

Over all, a raised Accord may not be the best choice for off-road use, but if you're set on it I'm sure we can find a kit to make it work. You should also get in touch with some local shops that do raising work and see what they would recommend for you.

 

Thanks for your help. I know it is a give and take thing, I don’t think I will ever have the opportunity of doing 70mph on these roads.
Please I am open to all suggestion. I love my car and I want to keep it!!!

 

I think if you widen the car's stance just a bit and you raise it conservatively you won't have much issue with a higher center of gravity. You might not even have to do that.

 

Bump, haven't heard back from the company, might be worth giving them a call and talking to someone there.
