NO coilcover or Shocks yet, (they cost alot of money)..Is it possible if i can put my 17x7 on my car with only Neuspeed sport springs ???? How will the ride be? smooth like original? Althought I wanna have the stock height with those 17x7.......Thankx

That why im thinking of cutting the springs at least two coils to reduce
the rearwell gap on the front... The springs lowered mah car 2'1/2 inches
already but the front looks higher than the back... I guess accords are pretty
high off the ground stock...

They should fit just fine, but depending on the offset of the wheel and the width of the tire you might get some rubbing on the rear wheel well.
We say this all the time and I'm sure some people are getting sick of it, but 17 inch wheels will slow your car down (big and heavy). Lighter 15" wheels won't slow you down, plus you'll save a lot of $$$ on 15" wheels and tires. But of course, if you like the looks of a 17, go for it.

you realize this is extremely bad for your suspension not to mention extremely uncomfortable

Whoever said that you Were thinking about cutting your springs, you are retarded and should not post on this forum, ever. That is horrible.

The Neuspeed sports are supposed to drop 1.7 and 1.5, not like the 2 inches that the Sportline does.

Yeah for looks, 17+, but if you want more performance on the straightaways, go w/ the 15's.
