Well they are coilovers so they are adjustable, without looking I'm going to guess that they can drop your accord anywhere from 0.2 - 3.5 inches.

You're looking at anywhere from almost stock to no gap and possibly the wheels under the guards slightly, depending on wheels/tyres.

No point looking for someone with them on their car as their settings might be different to what you want. Just look for a drop that you would like.

I don't see why it's important to see a picture. I could understand if you were buying springs but you want coilovers where you can adjust them to however you want. I could post a pic of any accord at any height and tell you they are teins - would it make you feel any better? No.

I would suggest emailing the manufacturer and asking them the range of drop that their ss coilovers provide - I couldn't find it on the website.

Tein is a brand name manufacturer - I don;t think they are trying to fool anyone.

Anyhoo - here;s a pic of an accord on tein coilovers.



Here's the proof that I'm not lying to ya! http://board.accordtuner.com/s...15156

I would suggest visiting as many boards as you can and searching for tein and accord - that's how I found this one - I;m sure he's a member on this forum anyhow.

holy cow. un needed anger or whatever.. specs dont mean anything till they are on the car. im sure youve seen my car on HS. and its low. im almost all the way down on my ground control coilovers as it is and want to make sure the teins will perform as well. im no nOOb that needs to get flammed for asking for a pic. simply asked.. if you got em can i see em. didnt think that was a crime...

Man - are you the same teamblend as on Honda Society??

I'm sure there are heaps of accords that have been on Teins. Just though you would have searched - I picked that one up after 1 minute of searching.

Sorry dude.

yea only 2 on there, and on was on tein HA's and then steve was on SS's which ive seen in person, but he hasnt adjusted them all the way down. just thought id ask and see if someone had them all the way or close to all the way adjusted down.

and i dont frequent accordtuner. do i really need to search all boards in existance before searching? i search honda-tech, and im posting on honda-tech. if i was to post on accordtuner im sure i woulda searched first there. HT has alot of people on teins, just guess not on accords.. oh well

How low are you now? Looks damn low! I would email them - their website says stuff all about the drop ranges - it must be to at least 3.5".

Found this on AT - the Tein basic coilovers are roughly:

Max. 94mm front and about 74mm rear

That's 3.7" and 3" roughly for the americans!

So surely the SS's would be at least that.

No pics.. highered it b/c the b-pipe hangs too low.

You'll be near the bottom if you wanna tuck.
