Hello Forumers,

has anyone ever fitted lowering springs on an 8th Gen accord? Personally, coming from a track car background iv never been a fan of lowering springs as there is no adjustment and iv always used coil overs, but as im not taking this round a track haha im just looking for slightly more lows with havinng to break the bank.

only looking for 20 to 25mm drop, are there any sensors that will be triggered on the ex or etc?

any advice welcome.
 
Iv got Aspec on mine and gives you about a 15mm drop with great handling.
Or BC racing do coil overs that fit are cars

in all fairness, for a big boat i love the way it handles hahaha, was chucking around some forest lanes a few weeks back in the wet and it just stuck! a few times the back end got a little twitchy but nothing scary,

when you fitted your Aspecs, did it effect the ride comfort at all?

any links?
 
It's a bit firmer but dident compromise the ride at all.
In fact I think it's better tbo
 
If you look in my members gallery all my photos are there.
I'm on the phone so can't link
 
Coilovers on mine

Fully adjustable

Not rock hard crash bang as most people this fitting these will be

Massive improvement in ride and handling
 
I should have done a build thread but been really busy

A couple of pics on other threads



Still waiting for some suspension arms to be made and shipped so I can set it up correctly, seem to be taking an age :-(

No probs Lee I will do a review on mine next week when there fitted
 
I'm hoping mine will be here this week.

Cleaned my garage ready

Dad is in hospital for heart valve and other bits this week though so this fitting may have to wait

this is what i want to know! dont want anything over the top at the mo as i havent got the funds or the wheels to pull of the look hahaha, just need to rid some of that horrid arch gap!
 
I did a bit of research on US forums but mainly got info from Hond-R

They have a lot of knowledge now after messing with mine
