i am thinking about buyign some eibach prokits which lowers 1.2 all around. the springs are used for 2 years. my friend bought the same springs, and it looks like he did not dropped it at all. so my question is if i buy those 2 years used prokits, will it look lower than the brand new set?..maybe there was a thread of this question before, and i might of missed it, if someone can show me it would be cool.

 

Two years isn't a particularly long time for springs, considering there's a sh..t-load of ancient Honda's still prowling the highways with they're original springs.
That being said, there's always the dual issues of poor quality and metal fatigue. I've heard of some sets that weren't properly heat treated, and collapsed very soon after installation.
A quick solution to your question:
Compare the two year old set against a new set. If there is an issue, the unsprung lengths will be different

They do sag. I have some old Neuspeed Yellows that were on the car when I bought it and they are much lower than they were new. Also, the spring rate is terrible. Just buy new ones!

 

Again the question of quality. This isn't the first mention of Neuspeed I've heard in here. I'd suggest asking around with your question, because not all of these aftermarket spring suppliers use the same spring manufacturers.

Eibach is known for their quality products and have a lifetime warranty against sagging springs. Most likely you won't have a problem with these.

 

hey does anyone have a picture of their car lowered on eibach pro-kit springs or tein stech would be koo too... i want to see how low does it go and how it looks like before i buy it. thanks

 

1.2 inch all around wont show a huge diffrent, i mean it will be noticable if u have your accord next to a stock one, but other then that, it wont be too noticable.. heres mine

its 2.5 all around

BEFORE

AFTER


dont mind the dirty car. I gave up washing it , because everytime i do it rains the next day Also if it looks liek its sagging from the back is A. i think its from the lighting and shadows of the trees so u cant see the tire from the wheel whale and B. b.c those are on stock struts that havent been changed for over 150k miles and the back was sagging even before i put teh springs on, i have kybs coming tomorrow

 

thankz for the pics...i like your door panels..are they chrome?

 

im guessing u mean the chrome that outlines the doors and weather stripping? if so then yes.
