I would recommend you purchase the same type of tires as TireRack recommend for the Accord '03 6-speed OE tire. This will keep your speedo accurate and provide a good ride and All season grip, until you decide what tire to buy.

You may want to simply reference the same tire size as the 6-speed and get a better tire like V or Z rated Yokohama ES100.

 

UPDATE: I think I will go with the Yokohama ES100.
I also tried to Photoshop the wheels on the car and here's how it looks.

Thanks for all the help guys.

 

Hope they work better for you than they did for me :happysad: Don't take corners with them fast or they'll wear out obscenely quick.

 

Ok so I guess I have to change them cause I do corner hard. Any other reccomendation then?

 

if you were to give your car a mild drop like 1.5" you would not need a camber kit at all. you could get new shocks, but I know people that just get the springs and their car handles fine. if you wanted to do it up right and have a real nice smooth ride Tein Basics or the SS model coilovers are a great option. you can pick up the basics for just over 700. although it may be pricy, they are worth it. I got the SS and have had them on my car for almost 4 years now and they feel great still. not boucy or too stiff at all, just a smooth stable ride. so you can get a set of springs and they will do the job, but if you want to do it up the right way you can spend a little more.

 

Well my experience was that I took a corner very hard (as in my tail end was kicking out...when I had summer tires on I biased my tire pressure to counteract understeer) twice a day for about 2 weeks and the tires were shot after that. Every other corner I drove normal. I sandwiched maybe 3-4k miles on both ends and then they were done, but those 2 weeks killed them. I remember all of my other tires I could take corners as hard as I wanted and even did a few track days and they barely showed any tire wear. How much do you want to spend?

 

I want to spend about $450 for the tires and I might do the drop as well. I was looking at some Tein H-Techs which are around $160. I dont know where u get them installed though cause most of the shops I've been to, they dont install customer parts.
2 things that always terrified me about lowering was
1> alot of Money and
2> bad ride quality.
I bought a V6 over 4Cyl cause I wanted a smoother car but if a mild drop doesnt change that, then I guess I will do that.
How much does it cost to get the springs installed.

 

Don't know really where to address this question, but i have 215/40ZR17 Sumitomos on my car and the max pressure on the tire says 51 psi, but i'm not sure what the best pressure to have in them is for my specific wieght, etc. Can anyone help or offer any suggestions? I'm not even sure where else to look...
