What's the way to go to lower my car? Change the springs? Both springs and shocks? or go for coilovers? Need some suggestions :(
well when i lowered my car i changed teh srpings and shocks, even though it handles much better, you feel every bump on the road....
what kind of springs are nice? king? eibach?pedders?
if u want, u can get coilovers....new ones r expensive, can get up2 $2,000...u can adjust it anytime u want. Or u can get a second hand one but i dnt really recommend that, well it depends ya know wat i mean.
Or if u want a cheaper way to lower ur ride, u can just change ur springs....thats wat i did when i get my car lowered @ k-mac. From wat i know, changing the spring....wont last long? correct me if im wrong hehehe....it will last but not in the long long time..... so the gr8 way to get is coilovers :D
at the moment i wish i can afford coilovers :(
probably just change the springs for now.... would i need to change the shocks? or will they be fine for the time being? ..btw my car is like higher than stock height for some reason.. :|
Kmac springs.......... friend got them for me..... he did a nice job tooQuote:

yeah i know how u feel, i want coilovers but no $ hahaha!
u dont need to change the shocks & ya, it will be fine =) like wat Chi said u can buy spring & shocks or even buy pre-set lowered ones.....then u dont have to worry bout ur shocks in a long run when u just changed ur springs, u know wat i mean.
i had mine for almost 6 years now & they still good(2/1.5 lowered all round; k-mac springs), but i can tell they are wearin off coz on some bad bumpy roads, it steers round but its all good, as long as ur carefull where ur rollin coz its quiet bumpy & loud.
250-300
just call up k-mac, pedders or king s. & compare ;)
how low should i drop it? i want to be able to put on 17" rims soon. i also want to keep it legal...
as low as u want! :)
from wat i know, 100 metres off the ground? some shit like dat & 1 more thing i got defected for having 17" & for the tires! stoopid cop....well that for my lil eg hatch! hahaha - since urs is an accord :) i think it shouldnt matta....unless some pigz r really strict bout it
lol damn pigs. should be alright though. not gonna go crazy with the rims and how low i drop it.
