Suspension for 08 accord?

**Rudy** · 29-10-2008 04:50 PM

I am looking to drop accord 08 as the gap is really bugging me after getting new wheels. I dont want to sacrifice that much comfort but I want a noticable drop of more than 1 inch. I am a newb when it comes to suspension.

Wondering if someone could help me in the parts i need to buy that are most suitable for this model and what im after. Also is there a good store to go to, or best to buy online?

thanx so much!
Mike

Thanx, I spoke to some people and was quoted King spring at 450 and 750 for eibach pro kit installed. The problem is I have quite a large gap..do you think eibach will be enough. My gap from top of tyre to well is 3.5 inch in rear and 2.75 in front!

Or should I get D2 coil over ? How much of a drop can it give you and where can you get it?

Thanx

mine is a 2.4litre....

for pro-kit it only lowers by 1.2" for the front and 1" for the rear..... i dun think this is low enuf....

for sportline-kit it lowers by 1.5" for the front and 1.4" for the rear.... this is the one that i would go for....

as for king springs, i was advised it would lower the car by around 1.5" both front and rear...

i have measured my car and if both front and rear are dropped by 1.5" the gap would be just nice.... probably around two fingers gap between the tyres and the guards... plus when the car is on the road, the gap should drop by another half an inch.....

currently the rims on my car are the oem 17"...... i m postponing to lower the car atm cos i might get another car pretty soon and if i do get another one then i wont touch the accord.....

also bare in mind that if you are after a drop more than 2" it's
recommended that you change your shocks as well.
i drive an 07 accord with the sportline kit...works a treat and the
drop i quite nice...was once a 4WD.

nice drop! but I will go for coilover if I decide to low the car, for reliable.

YEh agree..even if I get a nice drop with the eibach id still need to soon replace shocks if the drop is big enough and there are no aftermarket ones yet. So am going to order coil over. Thanx for the advice! Btw, Dyljoy you car looks amazing but why selling so soon?
