Default lowering 03 accord coupe

i have been looking for springs for my car and ive noticed that not many of the springs lower the car more than 1.25. i just need some advice on some springs that will lower the car around 2 inches.

lots of companies make springs for the 7th gen accords now: eibach, H&R, arospeed, sprint, tanabe, tein, etc. the h&r race springs will give you a 2" drop in the front and like a 1.7" (or something like that) drop in the rear. around the same drop with the eibach sportline springs. just research around and you should find what suits your preferences.

if you're planning on dropping it around or more than 2", i suggest that you look into some aftermarket shocks as well.

Also a camber kit if going 2" or lower. In my opinion I would go with H&R or Eibach just my preferce though. I have Neuspeed race springs that have been installed for 3 years now and they are getting taken off for some new Eibach's.

Get tein S-tech with koni yellows...or get tein coil overs...they will both give you a nice drop.

I just lowered my '03 Sedan with H&R Sport Springs. 1.7 drop in front, and 1.5 in rear. The ride is almost the exact same, but the performance is completely different. My 8mo. pregnant wife can't tell the difference in the smoothness factor, and it's her car. All of my friends said it rides the same - Straight line smoothness. The Progressive rate is why it is so smoothe when you are just driving, but stiff, when you are DRIVIN'! I got them for just under $150 for all four shipped to door, and I love them. Also, I think that H&R puts out an even more aggressive spring that will lower it even more. But if you want some pics of how mine look, Email me at: NDeedOne@Yahoo.com , and I'll do my best to help you out.

My second choice would be Eibach, but my brother just put some on his VW jetta, and it stiffened his straight line driving more than i would have liked, and the performance increase wasn't as great under extreme driving - However, I understand that I am comparing 2 completely different cars, with diff. curb weights, tire sizes, wheels sizes, and many other factors... but that is just my 2 or maybe 3 cents.
