I have a few questions about my car. Its a 96 accord ex. First off I want to lower my car. There is about a 3 3/4 inch gap in the front and im sure the rear is a little less. Do you think if i lower it about 1.8 inches or could i go anymore without having any problems and will be fine from a stand point of rubbing or bottoming out for regular day use. I was looking at using the H&R Sport Springs for 200 bucks. And will I need new shocks/struts with the springs or will the stock ones on the accord be fine. Third i was interested in buying the Apexi VTEC Controller, I was wondering what anyone knewabout that, if it was really worth the 300 dollars and it did what it said it did, and would that just be easily plugged into my ECU.
Get back to me if ya can, brad

 

The 5th Generation Accords run into the occasional "My suspension hits after I lowered my xx Accord" Problem. Evidently the clearences between the inner fender and the upper control arm becomes an issue.

Do a search under "Lower" or "Lower Accord" etc, and see what you can scare up for previous threads.

Or just hang loose, and all manner of people will chime in with both success and horror stories about their experience.
