whats the cheapest but reliable method of lowering my car .. i just want it lowered like 1-1.5", i cant afford to have it dropped/slammed due to shitty road conditions (pot holes, tons of bumps, raised driveway, winter etc..

[Accord214]

buy some ebay springs or coilovers and aftermarket shocks.

I've heard of people cutting springs. It's dirt cheap but I'm not sure how reliable it is.

Cheap yes.

Safe? No.

Yahim looking for something decently cheap, but something that is safe/reliable and that will keep a good ride & handle.

you can get a reliable set up for about $250 on Ebay.

Gr2 Shocks
Ebay springs or coilovers

How much are you looking to spend? It is easy if you just save up and do it once and do it right.

It sucks having to keep changing them out. I have done mine 4 times.

and how much did that setup cost roughly?

eibach pro springs 1.5" drop if you want to do it really soon then maybe save up for full coilovers.

do NOT cut or heat springs

I don't understand why people rely their heavy ass car on a $30 springs.

You have to pay to play. Do it once and do it right.

Just get rid of the suspension all together.

X2 that is the cheapest and most reliable and safest.

E-bay springs are not the ideal springs to buy if you wanna go "cheap" the ride quality is so shitty that they will wear out ur struts in no time. Then sooner or later you will get the annoying BANG and Clump sounds when u go over the slightest potholes or driveways.

If you wanna go cheap, I suggest Neuspeed or Eibach Sportline springs. Before the whole coilover craze went down and "Skunk2" and "Ground Controls" were the fad, I've paid close to $380 Eibach Sportlines. Now they can be had for $200-$240ish depending where u buy them from. I've even seen brand new sets on e-bay go for under $200 mark.

I've been running these since my first CB7. The ride is so smooth and feels factory soft that you won't even know ur car is lowered. (matched up with good struts of course) My KYB GR2s feel just fine in them. Don't buy some autozone/pepboy special monroe struts.

IF I had to do the E-bay coil or spring setup thing, the only ones I would probably trust is "DropZoNe" coz I have 2 friends that run them on their civics and their rides don't feel bad at all...however I wouldn't know how the same setup would feel in a much heavier CB7. Ask around the board as I think some members here have DropZone setups.

Megan Racing started as a cheap ebay brand (still considered ebay brand to some) but is actually a good brand from what i've been seeing and hearing. Their Full coilover setups are even more expensive than Omni setups so they must be doing something right?

you dont "F" up!!!!!!!! they gonna get you now!!!!!

but yea get some kyb gr2 struts and some megan coilovers. thats what ima be running here in a couple of months, ivge heard good things about this set up and by the time its said and done ill spend no more then 350. ive alreday thrown the coilovers on and i wont lie they ride like shit im bouncing all over the place but im on stock struts. so thats my two cents.

If your OEM struts aren't blown than you could probably get some Neuspeed Sport springs and put them on your struts.

I have this setup on my car for a 1.5 years and have yet to blow a strut. The springs costed $210 shipped to my front door.
