How Low Should I Go?

[N9netwoAccord]

drop it till it scrapes, then drop it some more.

word... if sparks dont fly you're too high

[gloryaccordy]

Go with Sprint Blues...seriously...I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "wow, I wish I had got a higher drop"...it's always "wow, I shouldn't have got crappy Ebay coils". Sprints= the best of both worlds, although your handling probably suffers.

[CustomLowz]

how low should you go?
i am a sucker for slammed cb7s.
go 2.5" or more, its gonna look real nice, even with stock wheels

hellz yeah 2.5 inches or more! im actually a 3.5 inch in the frnt and 3.0 inch in the rear...hahahaha...rides smooth in my brand new oem struts! and it's a sprint extreme!

ya wheres good place to get lowering springs ebay i looked cant find any.
plus whats a good drop 1.5 in front and 1.5 in back or 2in in front and 1.5in in back?

Ok well I did some figuring today and with the incline of my driveway... The lowest drop I can do with out scraping on the driveway is 2" MAX and thats with a very SLOW approach. COILOVERS OR LOWERING SPRINGS?? LET ME KNOW!! THANKS AGAIN!

[MadSpleen85]

look out for that BUMP

BUMP! no new posts?? Come on help me out? Drop the Coilovers and get springs or what?? LET ME KNOW! Thanks!

[Nekaflo]

ok, im a bit confused about this whole thread... dropzone coilovers? slamed cb7's? tisk...

dont bother installing those... please re-direct them to the dumpster, your dropzone SLEEVE-overs will blow your stock oem shocks in 3 days, the fake powder coating will peel, and the rust will quickly follow, the sleeves will strip, and you will find yourself back at squar one, saying "i never got any real preformance from them anyway" their nosiy, ***, made by a fake retail company, whos invested $0.00 in researching the product, and those saggy, gutless mystery springs, will slope the first pot-hole you hit taking with it your entire front bumper, and at this point, and only this point will you remember this poster.... and youll hear the words "dumpster".... see how bad and horibly wrong of an idea this can be... please dude, listen to me, save yourself, if not for you, for the car... get yourself some real coilovers!

i have eibach lowering springs on stock struts, and it rides very smooth, they werent all that expensive and they get the job done, i cant remember how low i went like 1.75 in teh front and 1.5 in the back i cant remember it may have been alittle more but i love it

[sublime]

I have been leaning more and more that way lately. Thinking it would be worth it to sell the coilovers and go with eibach lowering springs. How much did you pay for them approx?? Any pics? Where did you get them?? online?? Let me know.

I have not read any of the posts in this thread, so bare with me.

My honest opinion (and I am a BIG SKEPTIC when it comes to the CB7), the lowest I would go is 2.5 Front + 2.5 Rear. Beyond this, you are simply just trying to look slammed. I have learned many lessons with my CB7 (not personally, but learned from my '89 LXi Accord). Slammed looks good PARKED. Other than that, it blows nuts. Go with something sporty but effective (handling). The CB7 chassis is a badass example of what can be done with the right plans in mind.

My personal suggestion is 2.25 Front + 2.0 Rear with some KYB/Koni shocks. Save Save Save and you shall be rewarded with badass handling and an agressive stance.

Just my .02, but from my experience, it is worth alot more. Good luck.

Personally, yeah a slammed stance looks dope and drives okay but is not very practical. I have an H&R Sport drop (1.5 R + 1.75 F) Check the sig, it looks good but still clears all speed bumps and wierd angled driveways without scraping!
