Right I'll start of by apologising for starting a thread that will have been asked before but I feel my questions are specific to me - oh and thanks to J4JAV for some great advice
I have never lowered a car before and generally do not like lowered cars - but there has been something bugging me about my Type S - it just doesn't quite look right. I toyed with getting different wheels but suspect its the ride height - the Accord is just to high even for me.
Now the problem is 1) a lack of cash and 2) having absolutely no knowledge of lowering cars - when I buy something I usually know a bit about it but I'm clueless !
I have read Fahad's excellent guide and have realised that due to money I am going to be limited to Coil Overs. I like the ride height og J4J4V's car but found Fahad's far too low (sorry mate!!)
I don't have the skills or confidence to fit my own - my Dad could help (he changed his on his old MR2) and I have a mate who is fairly handy - but I can see that I will probably end up paying someone to do it.
So the crux of the matter is - I live in Derby but I'm prepared to travel a couple of hours to get a good price and even more importantly good service - can anyone recommend somewhere ? J4J4V has mentioned Tein and Buddy Club are there any others ?
If I can get my mate to fix them where is the best place to buy then and what would I need to do to them afterwards ?
Sorry its a long one
thanks
