[92accrdEX]

Who makes the springs with the highest drop, i wanna lower my car but not slam it so maybe a 1.2 or so drop, not sure..does anyone make that high or do i have to settle with 1.5?

[Fr0z3N]

Tein S techs. If your dropping your car that much its gonna look basically like stock.

The problem with trying to get a 1.2-1.5" drop is that when you replace your old worn out components, chances are that over the years they've actually sagged to almost that level of drop stock.

I remember a member here I used to talk to a long time ago had installed Neuspeed Sof Sports and KYB AGX on his car, and it was actually higher than it was before he installed the suspension. Just over time his car had sagged lower.

If you really only want a mild drop, then I'd say go with a Pro-Kit.

I don't know your reasons for not dropping that low, but I'd say you could go to 1.8 and not have any issues. I am currently running a 1.8/1.5 drop via Neuspeed Sport springs, but supposedly my AGX makes my car not get the full drop. Before I put my lip on (which hangs REALLY low), I never had any worries driving my car anywhere. Even now with the lip I rarely run into trouble, but I'm just a lot more careful with it, which I don't think is unreasonable.

I bought some tenzo-r lowering springs they drop 2" in front and 1.75" in the rear.

If you are looking for a mild drop that could be adjustable as the shocks wear it might not hurt to go with a good set of Coilovers. That way if you dont really know how low you want to be you have a range. Usually they are adjustable between 0-4" or at least the majority of the ones I have seen are. Just my two cents worth...

you can go up to 18" with out a problem ...look at my sig...

to the original question i have about a 2.25 inch drop in the front and 2 in the back on some 18 with 40 siries tires and im fine the ride is a little bouncy ( ebay coil overs low quality new monroe struts) i have no problem botoming out anyware if thats the reason you dont want to drop it so much ...

Dont cheap out, i got some cheapos on my teg, and i had to raise it back to stock cause of emmisions, and GOD DAMN it took forever, as for the accord, im not sure if i wana lower it, it rides so nice, i slammed the teg and it didnt ride too well.

[shimnacracer]

Dont you need to then get aftermarket struts to go with lowering springs? Or can you still use your stock struts?

[TMP912]

you can use the stock ones, but it will be all bouncy and shit.

[pangga]

So in order to get low (about 2") and have a good ride (not too bouncy not too stiff), coilsprings and struts must be good quality aftermarket stuff?

or

should I ask what is advisable if youre after for looks and comfort AND what is good for racing advantage?
