What are the most recommended mods for Accords?

razaman, thanks for the advice,

Currenly the circumstances are against me getting my ride lowered.
eg. live in country town, bad roads, harsh speed bump, and shocking driveways.
also, i'm on my L's untill 17th (woot hopefull pass). and as such have very often myself and dad in car, and other times 3 others, my dad and i arnt small blokes and with another 3 people in the back, it's a lowwwww rider anyway :P

so untill, eithier the town gets better roads, or everyone i no losses 60kg each, i think lowering my car would cause me to leave pieces of it at ever drive way, speed bump, etc

but will lower it when circumstances are better. eg once on P's and have the money (no passengers then).

5th gen was the worst, 6th gen a little bit better, 7th gen about the same as the 6th.

Yeah, I agree with you Raz... the 6th was indeed a bit betta, but you're right... Honda cars (due to their thrive for luxury) is a bit high as opposed to cars like the Subaru for example!

Bro, I used to drive a V6-L - very comfortable ride indeed! One of honda's very finest you did well for your first car bro if not very good!

I think someone here posted a thread saying that the above vehicle is perhaps honda's best. wouldn't say best ever, but certainly amongst the greatest!

thanks mate, always good to hear you mate a good choice when buying a first car, was a tough choice. was actually looking at getting a lude but the 97+ were a few k to much, and the older 92-94 are so nice, but hard to get finance for, and are getting alittle old. and the hatch's well i'm just not a hatch guy, be like a a WWF wrestler getting into a a mini cooper :p

(no offence older honda ownwers, just my opionion in what i was looking for in a car)

so was pretty much left with the classy comforatable 98 Accord, just happend they only had the V6-L there when i wanted to buy.

thanks again guys.

No worries bro, yeah, don't worry, the 1998 Accord is a good vehicle. Besides the 2000 V6-L and the 2005 (don't like the 2006's look), the 1998 and 1999 V6-L stands out. What's more, the V6-L still looks good, classy and very elegant for its age. You have done very well. Does yours have spoiler and twin exhuasts at the back? if you have the above noticable items, then it's the 50th anniversary edition - even better.

yes it has the rear spoiler, and twin exhusts. (one comes out on the left, and one one the right of the car) what a noob thing to say :p

is there any other way to be 100% it's the 50th anniversary edition?

I'd say just lower it (say 1.5-2 inches) and put some nice 18" rims on it (with decent tyres ofcourse!). Mod the sound system to make it pump! Keep the intake/exhaust stock to keep the peace.

I modded my (now sold) 1989 Legend (which is a luxo car like the V6-L) with the above, and trust me, lotsa people took notice! I changed the muffler as too but I regretted doing that as it made the car too loud, it isn't really fitting with the luxury/cruising nature of the car... just my 2c! :)

If you do decide to go for bigger rims, then lowering is sort of a must, otherwise it will look more like a 4x4. Hehe.

Nice list Dray_templar, All i've done is change the stock speakers to clarion 6" slimlines in teh front and pioneer 6x9 in the rear and it sounds 10x better than stock. doesnt have the bass that i'd like from a sub, but its good enough for me to keep and not spend anymore money on the car.
