My and my bud installed the front H&R sport springs on the front of my 2000 accord sedan (we ran out of time for the rear, i had to go to work ). its supposed to be a 1.5 inch but it only looks like 1/2 inch. i know the springs are supposed to settle but i figured that at least SOME of the drop would be noticable. any tips or comments?

 

You sure you didn't switch the front and rear springs?

lol WTF of course not man!!

 

Let them settle. Mine has settled to about a 2" all around, and with my Yellows they it is even lower.

 

Yep, give it some time to settle. I did with mine and eventually they leveled out.

Haha ok just checking.

Once you finish the rears and let them settle for awhile, you should be ok.

 

my eibach sportlines took couple days to settle. just give it some time

 

did you forget to cut the bumpstops?

 

probably cause that back is not done yet

i actually i didnt cut them at all.....oh and uh BUMP

How do i cut them anyway??

 

cut them in half, but the bumpstops won't lower the car any more, bump stops only come into play when you go over a bump. Lower the rear then the whole car will be way lower. Think about it if the rear is so high, it would stop the front from going down.

makes sense. so cutting the bumpstops isnt really necessary?

 

cut them, or your car will be really bouncy when you hit a bump.

2 or 3 weeks I think.

 

I know my car on the H&R sports with the Koni Yellows is hammered. I knock over coke cans with my undercarriage.

 

Man, my 1990 EX could almost knock over a 12 oz coke can with a stock setup. Either way, back to topic though, like everyone says, give some settle time and it will be fine. As far as the bumpstop thing goes, it can't hurt to cut them. I used a utility knife to cut mine and it worked out fine.

what about when i return the car to stock, would the cut bumpstops make a difference?

Yes and stop asking the same question 2000 times, eibach's lowering spring comes with a guide for how much bumpstop to cut

That would actually help if i had eibach's, and im not asking the same question 2000 times, if you were actually reading you would have seen that

 

so again, when the car is returned to stock how would the cut bumpstops affect the STOCK ride

 

When its back to stock it will not affect it to a point anyone would notice. Inless they duke of style drove the car over speedbumps . You will be fine, enjoy the lowered look and ride.
