so what exactly is needed as far as suspension when droppin an accord? what combination of parts did you use?

is it better to just do the spring thing?

how do you do it right? coil overs, shocks and camber kit?

 

you can just go with the spring, but you will end up blowing your stock shocks and will eventually have to get aftermarket shocks. The whole complete setup for dropping your car would be to get springs, shocks, camber kits, and then an alignment.

 

Definately a camber kit no matter how you drop it. Unless you want to buy new tires every 25k miles. h:

 

4 skunk2 adjustable springs and 4 tokiko adjustable illumina struts for $749.00 from modacar... how does that sound?

 

if you drop it less than 1.5" you want have that much more tire wear

 

how long can i keep a 1.5" front/1.3" rear drop on stock shocks for my 03 accord? is there much difference if i go with a 1.8"/1.8" drop?

 

theres no set amount of time depends on how u drive, 3 of people at a time, road conditions.. it varies with every car i know people who drive on the stock shocks for years and never blew then i know people who blew out the stock shocks months after installing aftermarket springs. i went all out and did everythign 1 time. the only difference was i changed my springs down the line cuz the ride wasnt what i wanted (went from intraxx springs to sportlines)

 

Well, not everyone is on hard, high tread wear tire. If I get more than 25K out my zrated I'll be happy. I'm at about 20K now, and they still look pretty good.

 

i personally don't like coilovers and tociko anything is just garbage.... so :down:

i personally prefer a good race spring, like neuspeed, or something along those lines and you can't go wrong with koni or KYB when shopping for shocks.. it just depends on how much money you want to spend.
