hey guys Im planing to lower the car a bit.what are the best way to go?

How much is a bit?

If it's around 1 inch or so, springs will be fine (Eibach, H&R, Tein, etc.). If you want it lower, then you'll want coilovers or an after market spring and shock setup.

Coilovers would be the best choice since you can adjust the height if you find the drop to be too low. Some coilover models even let you adjust the damping.

thanks.any websites?

Need a little more info on your car. Coup or Sedan ... I4 or V6
Adding this info to your signature is also a good thing too.

This is what I bought (except I had them to swap out the "Race Springs" for the "Sport Springs" : http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=52|AC&type=2&ltype=ns_import&p_id=1934

The springs are made for Neuspeed by H&R. Also I haven't had the chance to install them yet, just too busy. :boohoo:

Here a link to H&R: http://hrsprings.com/scripts/appguide.php?Mode=Application+Guide&SubMode=Find2&Year=2004&ModelID=201&q=2004%20|%20Honda%20|%20Accord

How is the ride quality after lowering guys? Like i always had my old cars lowered on springs on coilovers, but my car was always jumping around. I want to lower my accord too, but i dont want to get a bumpy ride. Whats the best way to prevent that?

Consider Tanabe NF210 lowering springs. A little over 1.25" drop front and rear with a very smooth stock ride.

Thanks guys for the replies.By the way its an 04 sedan, I4

Check out www.tirerack.com under their suspension stuff.

I have the H&R OE springs on a 2000 civic.. and the ride is firm, but not at all harsh, and it sits much nicer.

Just make sure you also upgrade your struts.. the stock ones don't have a dampening range for lower than stock ride height.. and they will either blow.. or ride like crap.. then blow.

Let us know what you go with.

Yeah, if you don't want a bumpy ride, change your shocks too!

HFP suspension. Best combination of handling, ride height, and ride comfort :)

So whats the best combination of all 3 things. Shocks, struts and springs?

Depends on what you like and on what you want to do with your car!

Well i want to lower it about 1.25 to 1.5 inches, but i dont want to sacrifice ride quality....My budget is about $500....I wanna know the best option for doing this?

where can HFP suspension be purchased? and for how much?

For your budget, I'd say the Neuspeed super cup kit that The Pope mentioned. That, or used coilovers.

I would say the same, except change the race springs for the sport springs, as Pope did I think...

Aryte.. that makes sense....so winter time i could possibly raise it up if i want to?

Yes. The Neuspeed kit offers +/- 0.5 inch height adjustability. Coilovers offer even more.

But each time you raise/lower, you need to get an alignment.

But with a small drop on Eibach Pro-Kit for example (1.3/1.4" drop), you don't really need to raise the car, even in the worst winter. This is what I ride with the full HFP aero kit and I have no problem in the winter (Canada). You should be fine. :thmsup:

Yeah the HFP drop is the subtlest of all at 1.2" all around. It will give you good ground clearance and handling/ride. Just explore the options mentioned here, they are all good :)

I have personally used the H&R Sport spring w/stock shocks. The ride is a little more firm the stock, you can tell the biggest difference on cornering and lane changes. I will soon be getting the Acura TL Rear Swaybar for added improvement in handling.

i bought some acekogyo street coilovers on ebay for about 80 total . the installation cost was 390 at 65$ an hour. the spring itself was smaller so the installation dropped the ride itself with 2 and a half inches to drop or raise. i spent atleast 500 for the install and purchase. not to mention the ride is very smooth. very caddyish. i love ebay . go with a adj. coilover if you want some slack to play with

I'm saving up for Tein Comfort Sport.

For those concerned with ride height

Ride Height Drop (in.) -2.4 front -2.2 rear
Min Ride Height Adjustment Range (in.) -3.7front -3 rear
Max Ride Height Adjustment Range (in.) -0.2 front -1.3 rear

If it is a daily driver and you drive in the winter snow, I would not go to low. You have to get used to parking back from parking curbs, pulling into steep drives, plowing snow while driving, etc. Mine has the inch or less and is OK for daily driver. Just my 2 cents.
