Default Lowering my accord

I know this topic is always on here but I searched and I was'nt finding the right answers
I wanna know what its gonna take to lower my 99 v6 ex coupe
do I wanna take this to a mechanic or is it easy
what will this do to my suspension should I do something to my suspension at the same time
Which springs are the best? Which ones can be raised and lowered. What does it take to do this, How high can I raise it and how much lower can it go
And which springs can I get this thing the lowest?

Thanks you, Yes I know there is a search button sorry for anybody this angered

I would suggest:

Eibach springs (not coilovers)
Ingalls camber kit
also replace the shock and struts for a "smoother" ride

it is easy to do yourself if you have the right tools.

as for the height it just depends on if you have big rims or not. You don't want it so low your tires hit the wheel well and the exhaust scrapes the pavement. Especially if it is a daily driver.

uh are you talking about coilovers? read the shock/spring section of the Basic Guide to Accords....it will help out a lot

if your going to lower it, i would also recomend changing your bushings at the same time, since your already there it should be fairly easy, and when i lowered my car i didn't change them and i wore them out pretty quick, so now they all squeek and are really annoying, but when we lowered my friends crx we changed the bushings and hes got a really smooth ride with now squeeking
