I just got some new (to me) wheels. I'm not sure about the current color, maybe I'll get used to it, they are a little scratched up tho, I took a pic of the worst one .. (sorry about the mega pics, I guess they weren't auto resized)
My car isn't clean, I know, too cold out right now.
Anyways, on to the pictures: Tell me what you think when you're done browsing

Looks better

I hope to be doing that as it gets warmer out. Looking into the cheapie ebay coilovers because I don't race this thing. I've read they suck, and other people say they are great. I'm just not looking to spend hundreds to drop my car 2"

dont like

Would look good with a nice drop, right now it looks like a monster truck

Haha, good lowering costs $$, I might just try some of the sh*tty ebay coilovers. I've read a few discussions about them and it seems to either be love/hate.

I'll dig into it a little more but paying 1000 bucks for lowering just isn't my thing.

doubleRdazz

those look real good on there

would look that much better lowered

you can get a set H&R springs off ebay for around 150

Thanks for the info, I hear they ride pretty well for a cheaper spring. Found some for about $190 shipped: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/items/_C...Accord748cc6e0


Maybe someone on here has upgraded to real springs and would like to sell me their ebay/offbrand ones? PM me if you have something like that.

wheels look fine, I'm more of an oem wheel kinda guy though

ebay coilovers are dangerous and you are going to have to constantly adjust the height because the perches move and the springs sag. Waste of time. If you wanna be a cheap ***, buy some dropzones. I had good luck with those when I was in high school.

I wouldn't even put ebay coilovers on an ef...

yes def a drop, and a polish!! But rims always make your ride look better. Gotta have clean kicks always!!

i like the new setup, but as it has been said. give it a drop.

there have been some wild good deals around honda tech recently. you can scope up some tein basics for under 500$ if you keep your eyes peeled.

you're going to run into a world of fail. at the least get Eibach Sportline and KYB AGX. they'll last a good bit and run fairly well.

will only cost you about 400 if you know how to shop online.

for the accord chassis, the Tanabe df210 springs are nice. moderate drop with a good spring rate thats not going to blow your shocks but wont ride like junk.

Lower the car a bit and it will look sweet.

wheels are crazy ugly, stock looked better for the car in the current state it's in.

do you have a magnaflow? loll

Desperately needs a drop.

Save $$ for good coilovers. Those eBay coilovers, i've heard, are horrible.

Since there is so much talk about lowering my car, does anyone have anything for sale? If you've upgraded or something and have old springs laying around pleas PM me. I've got college to pay for now, so car has to suffer. 400 bucks could either buy me a class or two, or some springs.

ehhhh

Think about it.
Spend $800-1000 for a good set of coilovers. $200 for a camber kit + alignment.
and roll comfortable for years.

OR

$150 for coilovers, And spend the next couple years buying Struts, Tires, Balljoints, Tierods.

Im speaking from experence. Ive had 3 CB7s, 1 CB9, and 2 CD5's.

Tein Basic Dampers were the best investment. I bought one set, and had them on all 6 cars, Over 5 years.

Bottom line...

Quality Parts Last.

In my book a drop comes before wheels/tires, but as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

IMO it would look better dropped on the stock wheels, rather than stock ride height on 17" wheels.
