i was just wondering what all is involved in lowering my 96 accord lx. i was looking at eibach sportline springs and kyb shocks. i know i would prolly need a chamber kit but on top of that what else am i looking at? thanx for the help.

 

The springs are on you... but the KYB AGX... is a nice thing to have in your ride!!! They made such a nice difference to my ride!
If you ever plan on lowering your car more, or have it a little higher... than get some coil overs.... ...that's what I did.... and I got some Dropzone coil overs!
When the car is lowered, you should consider a camber kit, because your tires as you probably know... will wear quickly if you drive the car everyday.... ...so yes... camber kit is a "must" ........and btw.... .....I have the rear arms for lowering accords, if you are interested, let me know....
And a strut bar is always nice to have, will make your chassis stronger, and cornering will be improved as well!
Hope this helps!

 

i looked on ebay and i could get a dropzone coilovers with shocks for $289.00 but i was looking ay meybe just getting the coilovers and then getting the KYB AGX shocks. im so sure how good the dropzone shocks are. i already am running a mugen strut bar, so thats one less thing for me to worry about. and i will def need as much help as possible so anything is great. thanx man

 

think about bushings also, you can find complete kits on egay for a hundred or so

 

What about a pro kit on a 03 cpe. With a eibach pro kit, do you need a chamber kit with thoughs springs, even though it's a small drop? 1.3front 1.2 rear!!!! I heard you can keep your stock struts with thoughs springs...

 

i wanted to lower it enough to notice and since my wheels are 17's with 215-40-17 tires on it the wheel wells look really open so i figured on lowering it enough so it would look filled. i would post a pic but i dnt kno how yet or if i can. but nothing to extreme cause speed bumps on campus are killers!!!!

yeah you can keep you stock struts, but why not do it all at once so you save money in the long run, or do it your self and save alot of money i found a place that would do it for 200 and that was the cheepest place. i wasted my money!! my friend just bought a spring compressor and returned it when he was finished

 

I don't think you need a camber kit, even with sportlines necessarily, although im no suspension expert. From what I understand you don't need a camber kit unless you lower over 2 inches, and the sportlines are right under two inches. The general reccomended budget setup with accords is agx springs and sportlines or for a step up koni yellows with sportlines. Or even a step up from there is Koni yellows with ground control coilovers.

 

i needed a camber kit and i only droped it 1 3/4' the inside of my tires went bald in three weeks, i drive like a street X driver though, a lot more after i got it droped too.

 

this is a ridiculous question, but you got it alligned after you dropped it, right?

 

now you learn that toe > camber when it comes to tire wear

 

corse dude its a no brain-er i got a deal of 100$ for life time allignment
