All of the following is on a 2004 Honda Accord LX 4cyl

Once I get the Rota 15x6.5 Subzero rims on, I'm going to invest in a Eibach PROKit Lowering Springs. Question is, do I purchase a rear sway bar along with all of this? Is it really worth it? Thoughts?
Current Tire size = 215/65/15 Stock is 205/65/15
Eibach PROKit lowering = 1.4 in front - 1.2 in back

 

Tell us what the spring rates are and what it is you're going to be doing with the car.

Most of the hot shoes around here would say yes, they'd want a rear sway bar at the same time.

The basic design of the USDM Accord suspension is a good one, a throw back to the good ol'e days at Honda, and it would respond well to both increased spring in the rear and a rear sway bar.

The way that these changes affect the total wheel rate on USDM Accords of the current design is much different from the way the changes affect the USDM Civic suspensions. You don't have to go all that stiff or all that thick on the sway bar to get very good results.

 

imo i would not get the prokit yet.. those tires are too big and may cause some major rubbing issues. but like i said thats just my opinion as far as tires and lowering your car goes.

if your going to lower the car no matter how small 1-2 inches etc.. on a 15 rims stick with what works best with minimal to no rubbing issues which would be 195/50/15

 

keep in mind, 7th gen accords (like mine) are substantially larger than older 5th and 6th gen models and if anything the tires dont look oversized on the car. 195/50/15 would be enormously undersized.

I've done some measuring on my car, and with the 1.4 drop in the front, it still leaves considerable room in the wheel well. Since I have FWD, the front is much lower to the ground than the back. With the 1.2 drop in the back, there is still an incredible amount of room. So I don't think rubbing will be an issue.

As far as spring rates, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I don't intend on doing any racing on my car outside of dragging with friends and the improved handling. That was my question with the sway bar, would that increase my handling from what I would gain with the lowering or is it not worth the money?
