Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum as of tonight. I am looking to get my car back on the road soon. I need to replace rear bumper brackets. BUT I'm also looking to lower my car a little bit. I drive a 1992 Honda Accord Wagon LX. With 154k on it I'm loving it as a part time ride. Would installing springs that lower the car around 1 inch have any problems that would be caused by lowering it. (spring travel and body damage related)

 

if you install lowering springs you will need a set of struts that can handle the abuse of the springs. OEM struts blow out quick when lowered. My personally preference is coilovers. They can be more pricy but they are adjustable. B/c when you get lowering springs after they settle thats what your stuck with. With coilovers you have the option change your ride height around. But every time you change your ride high it's recommend to get a new alignment. You also want to look into camber kits for the front.

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

i am thinking about doing the same, but heard coilovers bounce around to much. i was looking into some skunk2 lowering springs and shocks

 

coilovers don't bounce allot. You just feel the road a little bit more. But if you pair up coilovers with the right struts your fine. You also can buy FULL coilover kits (which I recommend) that have the coilovers built onto the strut. So you have a shock matched for the spring rate of the coilovers.
