Rear upper control arm

[CBx7_Tuner]

need a bit of clarification. i've seen some accord slammed on its nuts. and i'm looking at my rear suspension with that huge arm in the way. is there a modification needed for that? or will it just move as the height of the car is lowered.? thanks

I think I understand what you are trying to say.

Yes the upper control arm will move.

oh. i see lol. everytime i look at it in my current stock height. it looks almost as through its going to rub against the wheels. but that make sense if itll move upward if i dropped my accord.

yeah the control arms will move when you lower the car. now slam your car and see for yourself

i've been wanting to just havnt got the cash to get a decent set up. im feeling for tokico blue with ground control.

that should be a good set up. Depending on your budget, you can find yourself a used set of megan, skunk 2, ksport, etc coilovers for pretty cheap. but a good strut with some GC sleeves should be good. You can always swap out the springs for better ones in the future if you would like. Don't forget that CD accord coilovers will fit CB's good luck hunting and update us when you settle on something

That's a terrible setup. Tokico HP (blue) shocks are made for no more than a mild drop on springs that are no more than 15% stiffer than stock. Most lowering springs other than the ones from Tokico that are designed to work with those shocks are going to be too much for those shocks. Certainly anything from Ground Control will be.

thanks for the recommendations ill look into it. only reason i wanted to get the HP blues is because i have a friend who ran HP blue with springs and it rode on clouds it was a comfy set up, but if it is true that HP only run so much than geez i better go for something different, ive been wanting koni yellows but those are SO EXPENSIVE!

what is your budget? I would say if you want to go low then do it right and start with a good set of coilovers. Save up about $500-$800 and there is a wide range of great new and used coilovers that will be in that price range and be from a reputable company.
