Accord Suspension Advice and Q&A [Archive]

Hey guys...I dont post up here very often, but i do tend to find myself reading alot of the threads and getting heaps of info under my belt.

Ive come out of my shell today to ask about the Accord (CD5)'s suspension.

Now i tracked down a set of d2 coilovers for my Accord, which i will be purchasing a few weeks into the new year...unfortunately for me, this is the soonest time the shop i am getting the suspension through, could get them...

I am very excited about all of this, and because of the tutorials i have read over (re: DIY koni shock replacement), i am fairly confident that putting installing coilovers will be a breeze. I would, however, like get some general advice about the path i am about to take. Some stories about d2 coilovers? (I am not going to go track racing so much as i want the adjustibility). Any dramas i might face installing them? (I do realise i will have to get a wheel alignment done once ive installed them. But will camber kits or anything need to come into play? My intention is to lower the car on its nuts). I also intend on putting 19's under the arches, i might as well get the gaurds rolled and lipped while im at the wheel shop right?

Oh, one thing about the 19's...if the rims are 19x8...i will be needing 225/30/19 tyres? im not exactly sure which size i should be using to calculate rolling diameter differences for legality purposes.

Also...As far as i am aware, my car now currently has Pedders sports shocks and springs...Would it be worth me advertising these items on this forum? If so, how much do you recommend i advertise the lot at? $400-500? This would include the strut also as i will have no need for the whole assembly...

I await your replies, and sorry again for the bloated post. Im trying to cut down on my typing, i swear... :o

hey there champ

wow.. u popped outta the shell before i did

how much are u paying for the D2 coilovers for?
i heard alot of bad storys about them.. i rather go with tanabe's
jap brand you know :D

19x8 are abit wide also with 225's
i have 225 with my 16's and my rear guards scrape cause theres a lip in the guard well which is pretty ghey :S

also you stock setup should be around 200-300 depends on condition etc..

imma intrested in ur setup.. hit me a PM. i need suspension!
lol

im getting the suspension for 1650...so i can hardly complain about that...Im not exactly going to be putting the suspension through its paces either with track work or anything...

I think it might be a good idea then to roll in inner gaurd lip, and then flare out the gaurds just a little more then hey...

smoknhothonda

29-12-2005, 11:04 AM

Tanabe's are always gonna be better then D2's, but as you have already laid out the cash i guess its too late!

Yeah you will need a wheel alignment after installing your coilovers, dont 4get to take your C spanners because they will need to adjust the height to get the camber etc within spec.

19 x 8's ona 5th Gen would require 225/35's...

I dont know of anyone running 19 x 8's on a 5th Gen but you would definately need your guards lipped if your slamming your ride, especially if you run a camber kit later on.

zel05

29-12-2005, 11:45 AM

i havent so much as outlaid the cash for the d2's, more so i have come to an agreement that they are the ones i want. Having said that, i can't imagine the tanabe's would be less then the 2k range...(i have no idea so please correct me if im wrong)

yeah the 19's or 18's question will obviously be answered when ive delved a little deeper into that pot...at the moment, the idea is 19's...but when it all comes to fruition...18's might be my only choice...

zel05

30-12-2005, 09:19 AM

whats gaurd rolling worth anyway...like $50 a corner or something...i think that would be worth it in the end anyway...

Oh, one thing i forgot to mention...How will the inner gaurds plastic hold up with all of this...the tyres arent going to get too close to the gaurds to melt them away and add to tyre wear? or is there plent of clearance?

smoknhothonda

30-12-2005, 09:27 AM

If you havent outlayed the cash, look into a set of Teins!!!

The plastic in the front guards dont hold up too well at all mate, my front guards are all busted up (the guards lips are all dented and pushe dout, and the plastic inner guard lining is all chewed out) and im only running 215's, but I am running a minimal amount of Camber, and Im riding on air.

I dare say you wont need to touch the guards if you only run 215's, and no camber kit.

I had coilovers in my car b4 i went air, and didnt have any issues running 215's.

PS Poid means 215/35 18 not 215/25 18 ;)

zel05

30-12-2005, 09:37 AM

But how much more are the teins as apposed to the d2's...Ultimately i want adjustability, not downright handling superstar...That said, if there is structual integrity issues with the d2's, im all ears...What exactly are the issues with the d2's out of interest sakes?

Wish i could get air...but im not too hopeful of the legalities of them up here in Queensland. I know a lot of accords have them up here, so im not sure what is up with that, maybe there is a way of getting them done legit up here...i dont know...But either way, thats almost doubled whats im expecting for costs for the suspension.

Now that you all say 215 will fit sweet...i kinda think 18's might be better...but i still want to have the thought of 19's in the back of my mind...

zel05

30-12-2005, 10:39 AM

ok well i did a bit of cruising around on ebay...and apart from the coilover sleeve crap i usually dont have much luck...But just then, as if by devine intervention...i found these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8025228881&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Now, that is $835 AUS...which is a bloddy ripper of a price...Plus the shipping...which i hope they can ship to australia for one...but even at $800 for shipping, would still be cheaper then the d2's.

Now these teins are only the basics dampners, but would these be worthwhile purchasing over the d2's? What differences are there in what i am getting with the suspension? Are there more features with the teins? or am i paying for a reputal brand name?

Thanks for the info guys...Hopefully i will have some coilovers soon...

And the money saved can go towards my rims...hehe

The guys you see running around in QLD riding on air probably go by the adage I do 'its only illegal until you get caught'.

I have been on air for prolly 6 months or more, and had no issues with cops, but having said that I dont do drive along doing doglegs, or sit at the lights hopping my car. In teh event you get caught and issued with a canary, all you have to do is remove the air cylinders and reinstall the shocks and springs and get the car passed again, a 4 hour job...

You need at least 3.5K to ride on air, with the install being DIY.

Mate fully adjustable coilovers in an a street accord is practically a waste of time IMO. Once you get the coilovers it will be highly unlikely you will touch them again (im speaking from experience, once I had the camber set right F & R)

As you stated you dont want to be a trackstar, so why do you need damper adjustability?

Teins spend millions in R&D in their products, whereas the D2's seem to be a cheaper alternative, which ultimately might not perform as good as the Teins, especially after a few years.

Tein has recently picked up a local distributor, so aftermarket support should be easier (Rebuilds will no longer be required to be sent to japan)

Those Teins on Ebay should be fine for a street car mate :)

336 lbs in the front would be nice and comfortable but still firm enough for spirited driving ;)

Dont forget to add at least $150-200 for shipping, and another $100 on Import tax duties. (To avoid the import duties get the seller to write 2nd hand car parts on the box, and the value at say 400 USD)

By memory that seller on ebay didnt send to Australia, so you might have to look elsewhere.

I say go with the 19's, just be wary of the offsets!

zel05

30-12-2005, 03:44 PM

sweet as thanks for all the info there man...

Once having a highly defectable vehicle, but luckily never being caught for it, I can say from experience that i dont exactly see the thrill of hoping i dont get caught, and the crap that goes along with it.

I will go for coilovers...heck, for once i can afford them, so im going to do it right, and get them...your right, i may not adjust after i set it up initially, but the fact that it is there and i can if i want does it for me.

Yeah i havent heard back from this ebay guy yet...im only hoping he will say yeah alright, but i know he wont...here's hoping. And an extra 200-300 on top of that price is still a lot cheaper then the d2's...so im more then happy with that...You reckon if i suggested paying him 300 for frieght he'd maybe change his mind? Its just had to find decent coilovers for the accord at that good of a price.

We'll see how it all goes...starting to get really into the car scene again which is great...have been out of it for about a year...good to be back.

30-12-2005, 10:25 PM

Ok, ive been doing some research of my own, and i have come across some issues id like to get sorted out.

If i were to buy the american Tein Basic's...would they fit my accord? Are there any differences between the american accord and my accord that would effect the proper fitment of these coilovers?

Dont want to go spending all this money for them to not fit...

madgrk

31-12-2005, 07:29 AM

Only reason I see them not fitting is because the Americans had a coupe version also.

So it would be advisable to check with the Accord guru's on here (Poid etc), to see if that's going to be a problem.

Good luck :)

The 5th Gen Accord suspension is the same worldwide mate, all 5th Gens are made in Japan and run the same suspension components.

You wouldnt have any issues with the fitment of Teins bought from the USA or Japan.

While your buying some suspension gear have a look for a front upper strut brace. For around $50-100 they work wonders in the accord ;)

If you are after a bushing kit for the front upper lower control arms, end links, spring isolators, I have a brand new unused prothane polyurethane bushing kit for the accord, let me know if you are interested :)

Good luck with it all mate, you wont regret it, Accords respond really well to some decent uprated springs & shocks

zel05

31-12-2005, 02:47 PM

Well this is all very good news.

I have heard back from 2 of the Stores in the States. About 350US for shipping...which would bring the total to 1300 shipped to my door for Tein Basic coilovers.

I havent committed yet, and am trying to get a better deal by getting a few other things from the store at the same time. Either way, $300 cheaper then the d2's, and im getting teins. The only difference being that the Teins are not dampner adjustable. Even then, i could get super street, which are adjustable for less then the d2's.

I am currently looking for a front strut bar. Unfortunately the stores im dealing with dont carry strut braces. Would have helped heaps in my bargaining. Oh well, lets see what they say...I might be the owener of some Teins soon...

smoknhothonda

01-01-2006, 09:29 AM

$350 does sound kinda rich for shipping dude, hopefully that includes insurance!

Most of the time USA Ebay sellers charge extra to ship internationally because 'they can' but it shouldnt cost $350 USD....

If you know the weight of the coilovers and the approx packaging dimensions you can go to www.usps.com and calculate international shipping yourself with the shipping calculator, and double check the shipping quote they gave you.

You should be able to get a front strut brace shipped for $100 max. If not try whiteline they sell em for like $145. (whiteline is distributed locally in Oz)

Before you commit to buying the Teins from the USA get a price from a stockist here in OZ, by memory Fulcrum are now the offical Australian Distributor for Teins, so it might be an idea to give those guys a buzz.

That way you get a full Australian warranty also ;)

zel05

01-01-2006, 09:42 AM

the $350 does comes with insurance...325 shipping, 28 insurance.

i will hear back from him soon as to whether he will cut me a deal on the shipping, im sure they can do it.

Meanwhile...ive also found another strut brace, a cusco one for a little over $100 AUD shipping, so i will see how that goes hey...hehe

And as for fulcrum, well they can kiss my ass... i hate em and wont deal with them. I know for a fact that they wont be cheaper then this...they well Super street for over 2k

zel05

01-01-2006, 10:16 AM

i just did a quick guesstimation on the UPS site...and accord to there shipping, if it weighed 53 pounds which is about 24 kilos...it would cost $323...So i am guessing that is pretty close to the mark dont you think? I can't imagine coilovers being very light things?

smoknhothonda

02-01-2006, 08:44 AM

Is the Cusco strut brace the 1 piece type?

Or just the normal type?

Eibach use to make a killer 1 peice strut brace!!

Sounds like you should go ahead and order those coilies mate, if the postage calculator was that close for the shipping, your getting a good deal ;)

zel05

02-01-2006, 07:05 PM

This is the link to the Cusco strut brace...i am thinking it will fit...might go ahead and order it

Also...With concerns to the ride height i want out of the coilovers...I want rim tucking...am i going to get that with these coilovers? I dont want excessive like airbags would give me, but enough for it to look really nice, also even in the front and back...so long as there is no space between the gaurd and the tyres i am happy.

razaman

03-01-2006, 06:01 AM

Coming on late here.

According to the tein website, the basics have a maximum drop of 3.6 front and 2.7 rear.

2.7 in the rear won't give you rim tucking, I would guess that you would have no gap or a one finger gap. Front would be no problems.

As for the D2's, I've done alot of reading about them on nzhondas and the general consensus is that they are good for what you pay. They're not tein but they're not crap either. Only found one instance of a shock leaking but was under serious track conditions.

03-01-2006, 02:26 PM

ok...so are airbags the only way im going to get nice low ride height? Or are there coilovers outthere that are available to get closer to the ride height that i am after...

After all, it is teh whole reason i am spending the extra money...so that i can dump it when i want, and when thats too low or ive had enough of it being that low, i can raise it up a little more...

Again, thanks for all your help on the matter guys...

There is always drawbacks to getting a car slammed.

If you slam your car with coilovers it will look cool, but ultimately wont handle as good, and will be a pain in the arse to drive if your accord is a daily driver, going over speed bumps or on rough roads.

With Air it costs a lot more, but you do get a nice ride at a low height, and when you park your car you can fully dump it, but it wont handle as good as the coilover setup.

With coilovers installed, you will find that you wont be adjusting them too often. Once you start changing the ride height, you should get the car realigned, and it aint exactly a 10 minute job.

As I posted previously most ppl I know with coilovers set them at the height that looks cool, and isnt too low, and wont change the ride height once the correct ride height is achieved

With coilovers fitted and a camber kit I had a no finger gap at the rear, and 1 finger gap at the front, Im sure you will achieve a similiar ride height with the Tein coilovers

Funny you mentioned HotBits. I emailed them a few days ago, they replied back to me the next morning. Was very happy with that...The person said that there is would be about 100mm adjustment with there coilovers, and that rrp is $1800...

Now i dont mean to pick, but by going for hotbits, im doing a complete circle, i might as well get the d2's...On that note, i should say that I am ever so increasing my liking for the Teins...Well known brand, good quality, servicing shop specialising in Teins in the next suburb, CHEAP AS, i think the teins might as well win.

I have just emailed the store and as far as im concerned, the final bill is going to be under 1200...which i am quite happy about. Ive asked him to throw in some headlight eyelids i like, and if he agrees to my offer, i guess i'll be ordering myself some tiens.

I know i said i want to go mega low, but thinking about it rationally, it wont work...I measured up the HUB -> gaurd space, and i think the ride height im going to get from these teins will still look great, and lower then what i have atm.

Anyway, again, thank you everyone for your input, i will be making more visits to the forum, and hopefully having my input as much as i can. I would through up some pics, but everyone knows what a charcol grey stocko accord looks like...I will put some up however, once the coilovers are here, and the 18's, and the eyelids....and the....

zel05

05-01-2006, 09:54 PM

Yep, just checked it all out again, yet outside with the tape measure...According to the Tein site, average ride height, once the coilovers have been set to a predetermined height, will give you 330mm from the centre of the hub to the gaurd. Now at the front, you get an extra 1.34 inch lower then that, so 34mm more. And at the back an extra 0.51 inch or 13mm. Now it might not seem like alot, but just visuallising it, the gaurds would quite happy sit very level with the height of the tyres...id be very happy with that.

06-01-2006, 05:52 PM

Maybe i forgot to mention this, but they are through an ebay store in america. Now if that doesnt scare you away, then i'll find the link and post it up...there are actually quite a few stores that have them.

I would also like to point out that these are ebay Stores and not personal sellers. Even though i am still weary of where i am sending my money, i feel that stores like this cannot ruin there reputation as there is alot of money made through these stores.

Hell, why am i defending myself, its as if its bad to buy through ebay...lol

Hi Zel

Just measured my car for comparisons and I have 350mm front and back on lovell superlows.

Now all cars will be slightly different but according to the info you provided from Tien you should have around a 1/2 finger gap in the back (1cm or even less) and no problems in the front (tucked slightly if you want).:thumbsup:

Raz

zel05

06-01-2006, 06:58 PM

thanks for doing that for me mate...

I actually went out lastnight and did the same. My suspension i have in there now must be pretty low as it is, because when i measured it up, i had about 335mm at the rear, and about 340 at the front...I got the same results as you too...the rear was close to the line of the tyres, and the front was slightly tucking...

Id say that will look great, especially with the front looking nice and low...hehe

cant wait...although, still havent heard back from that particular ebay store...so i might try the other one i have here too, see if they can do a better price...

Here are some pics...next on the list...most likely a camber kit to go with some 18's...

thats low, how does it handle and ride?

Handles very nicely, although it did handle well before. It does however, bump and grind a bit here and there, and i now have 2.5 degrees camber at the front, and 3 at the back...but for what it is (read: boat), it handles excellently. I will definately be on the look out for a front strut brace and rear sway bar though...to help with the awesomeness..lol

oopsy, i done a quote instead of edit

smoknhothonda

09-02-2006, 04:37 PM

Thats practically the ride height I had before I went air.

With a camber kit fitted you will a notice a dramatic difference in tyre wear, once the kit is fitted it will wear evenly across the tread face of the tyre.

Once you fit the kit though you will still have to run 1 degree negative camber more then likely at that height, as I had problems with the upper control arms fouling underneath the fenders.

You certainly got the coilovers for a good price, the strut bar and swaybar will make a difference, and bushes also ;)

Can I just ask a question.... I have made up a little table on my computer of all the suspension parts avaiable for my 1994 cd accord and so far I have found out that in australia there are exactly 0 kits available that will lower my car the amount I want, about 2 that will lower it a little less, and a whole heap of other useless junk that really doesnt matter.

NOW, I see you guys are talking in this thread about buying tein's from ebay internation sellers. I have had a look myself and as far as u.s. ebay goes, there is a heap of suspension kits available, with the tein s.s. about $900 u.s., approx half of what you would pay here (or less). To me this is unbeleivable but I know it probably sounds too good to be true. So my question is this: would american-spec suspension kits fit on an australian-sold accord?? Surely there must be a reason why we cant get these kits locally and Im guessing its because the suspension of the u.s. and australian accords are made to different specs.

hey poid, U CD5 Guru!

Whats so rong about the D2r coils? My mate has it on his corolla and his loving them. I want my car to be at a low height but not rediclulsy low... Lets say 1finger gap all round. I need some directions on which ones to go for.... I'm not going to track my car at all and its just a daily driver. I've also got a budget to spend less than 1750... Spoke to Trav About K-Sports but i'm not to sure of them. Need some help....

ArouzD

29-10-2006, 05:01 PM

Firstly, how much do you wanna lower your accord by? There will be a setup to suit, no question.

Secondly, US and Aussie accords run the same suspension, and the Tein's fit 100% perfectly. A number of people have had the Tein SS shipped from the US for US$1000 all up (contact Titan Motorsports, they have been great to deal with for Tein products and have provided the best prices).

They are officially made for US roads and conditions, which is why they havent been available locally. Funnily enough, this makes them more suitable to Aussie conditions than most Jap spec coilovers. They dont go super-low, which is why i asked how low you wanna go.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, thats actually great news for me, because I am VERY interested in the teins. Now that you say that, I have pretty much 99% got my heart set on them. I am a bit confused about the lowering thing though.. you say the teins dont go super-low? I need a drop of 65 at the back and 75 at the front to sit the edge of the wheel guard rit on top of the tyre (I have 17's), and the tein product page says they will lower up to as much as 70 and 90, and thats just on the basic! Maybe by super-low you mean the new hydraulics-craze which show(slow)-ponies are all putting on their hiluxes.. so, no, I definitely do not want that sort of lowering.

I also want the super street because of my hard style of driving I want a decent level of tuneability, being able to lean towards oversteer etc etc... Anyways thanks for your help guys! Will have some pics of my car to show off in a month or two!

When I first got them, the suspension shop had tuned the teins to the level specified in the user's manual - I think it was 8 clicks back (from hardest) on the front and 10 on the rear. People were telling me it was going to be a harsh ride but I actually found it to be quite compliant and comfortable!

As it so happened, I turned both ends up another 4 notches because I found it too SOFT! It IS bumpy at the moment, but nothing unbearable, and the handling is definitely worth it. You glide through roundabouts and fast corners like your driving on air. I beleive on the softest setting very few people would have something to complain about. My mate has d2's in his r33 and he says its harsh, but i took a ride in it the other day and i think hes talking bollocks :P

u know the harder the setting, the faster ur shocks will wear out = sooner u will need to rebuild.

Well as it turns out I still havent got it in yet... Still awaiting for the coils to arrive. Anyways, I dont know if you guys know or not but D2's recently had a change in hands (well for the Distributors in Aus) so they are handled by a bunch of guys in WA.... Anways Wat i found out is that the previous owners actualy were importing D2 Tracks With harder Spring Rates so thats why ppl were complaining about the ride being harsh... Anyways these guys are now importing d2 Street which happen to be alot softer.... So i'll see how it goes.

Its about time that they are in the car. Took blardy long enuf. I will post up pics very very soon as soon as i get my arse off the chair and get some photos done. My car's a little but camera shy LOL hehee But there's some photos of my car in the appreance gallery if u wanna look before i post just pics of my car up.

Ride is soo good not to bummpy and not to stiff either. I've got a 36 way damper adjustable and i've got it about 16 clicks from Hard. Not 100% sure wat the spring rates are but i think its 7.2/6.5 I think....

Will post pics soon
