Default 6th gen dropped

I have a 4cyc 6th gen I was wondering if there is anyway to lower the car 1inch with the stock shocks and springs by mod the shocks or springs and not by adding more weight or cutting springs or blowing out the shocks.

thanks

Might want to try some soft aftermarket springs like Nuespeed or Eibach Pro-kit.

you also might be able to get a drop fork, it attaches the shock to the lower control arm

Sprint 1.5" will be good.. There is not way you can lower the Car 1" with stock sprint and shock. You need Aftermarket Spring...

pro-kit lowers the car 1.5" for the 6th Gen
Is this for the I4 or V6
because i see that 01GSR has a V6 accord and V6 is different
from the I4 which I have. NOW I am pondering about getting springs. If I just get an 1-1.5 drop do I really need to change the Shocks too... since the wouldnt be much stress put on the shock since its only a min. drop.

my suggestion if you don't want a big drop...

neuspeed sofsport .75"
h&r sofsport .75"
comptech springs 1.0"

these are the springs that i had found while i wanted a not-too-low drop... hope this helps

ive seen some for $150 up too like $230, recently, but you don't have to change the shocks if you don't want too. I'm not, I just want the gap gone and a litttle sporty ride
