Hey
Im gonna lower my 2000 accord coupe when i get 18" rims and was wondering about how much it would cost me total, for the lowering? Im planning on around a 1.5" drop with prokits or something. But with shocks and everything, about how much should i plan on estimated for the whole deal?

 

700ish if you plan on just getting springs and good shocks.

for that amount you can get a full coilover setup from Tein or H&R which is better IMHO

 

Springs and decent shocks cost about 500 for a good setup i.e. H&R, Prokit, with KYB AGX, Tokico Illuminas, or Koni Yellows. Tokico have a nice package, the Illuminas, that lowering 1.5" with Adjustable shocks, better performance yet cheaper than buying separately. They give you decent drop but are permanent height.

If you want coilover that allows you to manually adjust the heights, , A full coilover setup (shocks and Coilover combination), you're looking at 900+ for a good system, i.e.: Tokico, Apex, Teins, etc. Most of them have shorter shocks body that allow better handling and Full damping due to some extreme lowering.

and at lower prices, good combinations like Ground Control coilovers, Skunk2, with Good shocks mentioned above. I have Ground Control + Tokico Illuminas shocks and they ride very well. However, I'll switched it soon to Tokico Full Coilover due to some defects on my shocks. Also because they are better.

 

I just bought H&R Sport ($130) and Koni Yellows ($565) so my total is $695.

I could easily afford a full suspension like Tein and Apexi but I know for sure I will never mess with my height. In addition, I am not looking for 3-inch drop or more and I really don't want to deal with an alignment everytime I adjust the height (if that ever happen). So a set of good springs and great shocks make more sense to me.

 

1.5" tokico shocks and springs 350 oh yeah. They handle just fine no complaints.

 

:werd:

That's the same setup I want to get :thumbup:

Did you get the Neuspeed Edition Konis? You can get them for $555 at ImportHorizon.com.

 

Tokico Blues 250.00 H&R sport 150.00 = 400.00 no tax and 135.00 for ingalls front camber kit and i did the install myself so total for everything was 535.00

might as well go all out and get teins

 

Nope. I have the regular Koni Yellows. I didn't see the point of having the Neuspeed edition because the only 2 diference are the Neuspeed has 20MM shorter shaft and 5-perch. I figured the regular Yellow has more experienced people for set up tips!

 

$260 (Ground Control Coilovers) + ($300) KYB AGX's= $560 on my setup :thumbup:
