I have a 2004 accord coupe 6-6 stock suspension. Im looking to lower it about 1.5" or 2" I've heard the stock shocks blow out if used with a lowering kit. Is this true? Im looking at the Ground Control lowering springs available for my car and do not want do aftermarket shocks with it is this possible? Trying to save myself some money.

How many miles are on your car? You can use stock struts, but they will blow out sooner than later. I just bought some Tein H-Techs and I am going to be using the stock struts until they blow. Then invest in some better struts.

Its got 112k on it

Ya i would definitely be prepared to buy new struts, are you doing the work yourself or taking it to a shop? If you are paying to get them installed I would suggest getting the struts at the same time so you don't have to pay to have the work done twice.

Most likely a shop cause i dont have the tools or know how to do suspension

okay im this thread is a little old but relevant to me since i cant start a new one... so i was looking at lowering my 03 6-6 and i wanted to know some peoples experiences with different brands to get an idea of what to go for. so far i know im going for shocks, struts, and a camber kit basically so anything i might as well change in the process?

There are many options, I would suggest got to driveaccord.net or v6performance.com and search on those sites. They are both really good sites with alot of informormation for our cars there.
