Curious what is available and being used on 8th gen accords. I've seen alot of tein basics. Got a friend who wants a mild drop for his 8th gen sedan lx DD.

Every brand of suspension products on other model is available on 8G Accord, except shocks. Only Koni makes aftermarket shocks (for now).

Tien H-Tech springs or (Honda) HFP if you want mild.

Then again, what is a mild drop to you?

i think KYB is also making the shocks for the accord sedan

Thanks for the input, IMO mild is no more than a 2" drop.

GoLowDrew

Yes, but not for 8Gen (2008+). Have they started to?

GoLowDrew

Just about every brand offers something of a mild drop. So to throw out some names.

H&R Pro Kit. Tein S-Tech. And just about all coilovers would start at 1"+ drop.

FYI, the 8gen rear offset is bit more sunk in. So when you lowered, even with a mild drop, it will generate negativecamber / \ . Is that a problem, and do you need camber kits? No. It's no more than a chubby friend in the back.

IMO, it's more of an appearance factor.

Eibach Sportlines seem like a good choice and decent price: http://www.advancespeedshop.com/eiba...40-p-8358.html

Would it be wrong to run these on stock shocks?

Is that your Integra? Nice. My past (girl) friend had a car like that. I think it was a 96 (or 97), and silver LS. And lowered too. That was more than a decade ago. Anyhow, I used to live in Fremont, so I know your area well. Therefore, I would recommend Pro-Kit because the spring is progressive. Sport Line is linear. I'll assume you know what that mean.

With that said, the Pro-kits would be less stress on the OEM shocks. What year is the Accord? Prokit is better fit for OEM shocks. I would also factor in how many miles have been driven already.

Last time I recall, 680, 580, 101, 880 all are pretty smooth. And the Accord is still big comfortable car. I would still want some comfort instead of track stiff.

Hey Guys

Honda Accord is my all time favorite car. i love that car. But now I am using the Honda Civic 2009. I am try to sell this car because i want to buy the Accord. Will you tell me how much I have to need for buying a new honda accord?

liljani

and i dont think the KYB AGX are in production yet....

GoLowDrew

^^ It's about time. That's good to know. Thanks .

However, they don't seem to distinguish between V6 or I4. This would make me wonder if it will be a tad bit lower on the V6.

Yes, thats my pride and joy. The accord is 2008 and about 40k, miles on it.
