Don't lower your car... the factory selected the ground clearance for a reason when designing your vehicle.
//Don't sacrifice performance or comfort for the sake of "style"...

 

It's not uncomfortable.. and I don't like how it looks if it's not down and I think a lot of other people do too, when your car is lowered down, it just adds "good style"

 

So performance is affected by lowering? Funny...I could've sworn that having a lower center of gravity was better for taking turns...maybe I was wrong...

As far as comfort goes, you can lower and have a better than factory ride sometimes. You just have to get the right kind of spring/shock combo.


SonyAccord: Scrap your half ass job and go back to stock in the front. Then go get yourself an alignment because I can almost guarantee you just threw your camber and toe out in the front. After that, be patient and save up your money so you can lower your car the right way ie: good springs, adjustable shocks, and camber kits.

 

who let this dumbass in? i'd like to see a stock accord suspension out perform mine lol curves u can only take at 30, i can take at 80, easy...dont post about shit u have no experience with...lower center of gravity,along with stiffer suspension = less body roll...less body roll = better handling... :werd:

 

Who let the humorless immature asshole in here who obviously can't tell (even with appropriate emoticons added) that I was just teasing... Ie, not completely serious. I don't think I've ever been on a message board with as many humorless punks as this one.

 

Unfortunately, most people's method of lowering is to chop up the current suspension and hope that it holds together. This often comes at the cost of comfort (obviously) and performance (YES... performance. If the suspension is no longer balanced to your vehicle, handling will be significantly compromised.) I have no doubt that an excellent suspension setup can lower a vehicle and increase it's handling performance while maintaining a near stock ride... but I think you know as well as I do that most people don't put much thought into lowering their vehicle the RIGHT way.

 

BTW, any time you've lowered your vehicle in a manner that makes it difficult to navigate driveways or cruise over small potholes, you have NOT done it the right way.
:dead serious now:

 

Yeah, I hear you on the cut springs thing. To many people do it incorrectly. :down: I was just talking about it being done the right way. Yes, when it's done the wrong way performance IS compromised because everything gets thrown off since the springs don't have the right spring rate anymore. The shocks will blow, the camber and toe are forked over, and the A-arms might start hitting.

However, when you say that stuff about driveways, I'd disagree a little bit. My family has a VERY steep drive way that's hard to get up with my stock setup. Once I lower in a couple of months, I'll be taking the other side of our u-shaped driveway to get up. It kinda depends on the driveway.

And in that first reply you know I was just ribbing you back a little. No hard feelings!

 

Just get some Tein SS and you will be good.

 

dumbass? I asked for help stupid shit if you can't keep your mouth shut then dun open it.. don't post shit talking cus you think you know everything....isnt that why we post here? to ask help about stuff we need to learn not have morons like you ruin the experiance of learning... :a:
