I'm trying to decide what springs to use to drop my 99 sedan. I'm not looking to buy a camber kit, so I probably won't go lower than 1.5" or 1.75".
-Please post some pics of your rides if you have dropped them and let me know what springs you used and how they have held up and how they ride.

-Thanks

 

Mine has Max Speed coilovers. I did install the alignment kits. Right now, the car is lowered about 1.5 inch (suspention) the tires should not have affected the chassis height too much, if at all. With the Tokico adjustible struts it rides great.

 

Hey bro.

Here's my 99 Accord on H&R Sports 1.75F 1.5R drop. Stock shocks



If you want to see any other angles, etc let me know.

 

jschmid...

how has that drop been treating you? i'm looking into that same thing but don't want to do shocks as well just cause i'm broke as a joke. you likin it? how much did it run you for the springs and install? thanks.

 

hey schmid...
how the hell you take pics like that? haha..

 

sorry dont got no pics but i slammed my car...about 3 inches and the ride is so damn bumpy but i personally dont really care (plus i dont have the money for shocks rite now ) but it looks tite!!!

 

mines dropped 2" and i regret it... definately looks bad ass but everytime i bottom out i grit my teeth.. can't tell who felt the pain more, me or the car... heheh... i think the 1.8 and 1.7 drop is a good idea, or if any doubts pick up a set of coilovers

 

I really like it. Smooth ride, but just firm enough to enhance handling in the corners. I'd reccomend it. Going on 1.5 years with it like that. I was in the same situation at the time...not enough money for shocks as well. Springs I got for $160, install was $110.

kleankord: Haha...friends

 

Hey jschmid

Did you install any kind of camber kit when you did your drop? How have your tires been wearing over the past year? Just wondering? I don't want to buy that damn camber kit!!!!

 

I'm using the same springs as jschmid, except my drop is not as aggressive (I think the newer H&R springs are more conservative) and i'm at 1.5/1.25.

I lowered my car the day after I got it hehe, so right now after 3 months or so the springs have settled a bit I think.

It looks good, feels good and you can stay with stock shocks. I recommend the springs. No camber correction or alignment needed.
