Hi guys,
I'm kind a new to this so please bear with me. I have an 02 coupe SE and i'm thinking of lowering. so basicly, what do i need? based on my understanding (not sure i'm correct), i can either get spring or Coilover. The coilover allows me to adjust the high of the car, correct? wherever spring doesnt, it only comes in 1 size and springs are cheaper. and Camper Kit is optional, if i lowered my car too much then i need camper kid to adjust the tire, if not then i don't need it. i hope i'm not wrong. what about shock? i am totally lost about that. the reason is, this guy offerring me a used NEUSPEED Spring for my car, he said the spring is 1.7 inch, so i can lower my car 1.7 inch, and i don't need the camper kit since its only 1.7 inch fron and back. he's asking for $50. so what do you guys think? he had it on his 99 4doors v6, will it fits my car?so if i want to lower it, that spring would be good enough right? and what would you guys recommend for me? what kind of Brand or what would fit me best.? (not too high class expensive kind plz)Thanks guys

 

If i were you, i would go for Spring Set because the Coil Over will be very very rough on the ride when you install them. Yes, they are adjustable as you can lower down or up whenever you want to but it will kill the Shock Quick. As the Spring, it will give you a smoother ride and will maintain the balance with your stock camper kit. The max you can lower on your Accord is 2.75 inches. No more than that. You can lower up to 3.25" but i thin kit will rub your tires to the fenders. I have a 01 Accord and i lowered to 3" and it was kinda rubbing the fender (barely) whenever i come up the hil and come down real fast so i replaced them with a 2.75" springs. I Think it's better for you to lower the back more than the front. About used Springs, i wouldn't recommend that cause (1st) it may not fit and you have to deal with the hassle of installing it and taken it off (2nd) it will not give you the correct suspension since it was being pressed on the other vehicle. So i would just spend another 25 bucks extra and go on Ebay find me a Brand New ones that will Fit My accord Perfectly and Brand New. Well, that's where i got mine actually and the description also tells you how many inches the spring will lower your car too. Anyways, hope that helps!

 

what coilover kits are you talking about? Tein coilovers are very smooth and are not harsh at all.


If you want a nice affordable ride get the Tein basics, if you want something a little nicer the SS are a good option. Another company that I hear is really good are Omni coilovers. pretty good bang for your buck.

 

thanks guys for your input, i really appreciated it, i thought of the spring the same way too cuz i would like to have some thing new for my car. What is a good affordable brand of spring that would u guys recommend?,
skabone69:
I heard the same problem for Coilover before, it tend to bounce alot with the coil over, that the same problem that the guy selling me the spring had before, and he switched to Spring. how much did you spend on your Tein?

 

the eibachs ride really nice with the illuminas set on 1/1

my friend has the exact same car as you.
