Accord Tourer - Springs/Dampers lowering

[ErikV]

I'm looking to drop my '04 Tourer Exec about 20 to 30mm's.

I've come across many lowering spring options, but I want dampers and springs. It just handles better and my OEM shocks are not going to last anyway.

I know the rear suspension on the Tourer is not the same as the Saloon.

What are the options? There must be complete lowering sets for this. Any ideas?

KW springs and Koni sport dampers, or you can get some coilovers, they may be slightly dearer, but you can adjust height and stiffness

Depending on if you want height adjustment you can always get genuin Honda Aspec.
This set up for the 7th gen gives you about a 20 mm drop from memory.
You will have to check from HH if Honda are still making this though.

I don't think the A-spec is available anymore

Late reply, but I've H&R spring and Bilstein on mine. Gives a 30mm drop all round.

Jason how did you lower your ride what did you use? need some help with dropping my car.....

Firstly, I lower the car using H&R springs. This was pretty straight-forward and gave an immediate improvement in handling. However, after a few month the ride became twitchy and I ponied up for some Bilstein - massive different! I stuck a review of the experience here:

I used a KW coilover kit, cost in the range of £900 plus fitting, has lowered the car more than I thought it would, and it can still go lower, definitely worth the money
