There's a threads stickied at the top of the forum called "Guide to basic Accords". There's a suspension guide in it.

yes it does because if you used the search feature you would find a fuckload of information on this stuff. Please, learn to do stuff for yourself instead of having things handed to you like you're a baby. I hate to be harsh but get used to the forum. We are great people, but we don't help people that can't help themselves.
You realize how many people on this forum have a 5th generation accord?

So can we change this thread into something productive?

I'm interested in lowering my accord, but dont want adjustable suspension. I also dont want it "slammed y0", I would like to get something that maintains the ride quality but lowers it an inch or so. I'm do up for shocks also, so I would be purchasing them as well. My biggest concern is probably the sagging ***! I do not want the *** lower than the front. I know Tein and H&R have a good spring.

Anyone want to post pictures of your suspension set-up and give me an semi-in-depth description of what you have? TIA

On my old accord, i had Tokico 5-way's with Skunk 2 coilovers. i know you don't want coilovers, but the Tokico shocks were awsome. i was going to suggest Tokico w/Tein, or H & R

Yea, I will more than likely get Tein or H&R's, not quite sure about shocks. Shocks will more than likely depend on price. I'm interested in seeing how low certain springs will lower it/ride quality/and *** sag. I have a 94 4dr, anyone want to post some pics? I'm going through the archives as we speak.

Neuspeed springs



Looks pretty good, but I dont know what the added weight of a four door would do to the *** end...

wait a second... first you say you want a good ride quality and an inch or so drop, then say you don't want Eibach Prokit (1.2" drop). So which is it? Prokits fits the bill perfectly.

Eibach are great springs, high quality and great ride. The Prokit springs are a nice spring. Had them on my 95 EX with Tokico blue struts.

I was referring to the *** sitting lower than the front. I know eibach makes a good spring.

You shouldn't reference ride height by that, I don't feel thats an acurate way of determining ride height.

Look at most lowered 5th Gen's and the back will almost always look lower, it's just the way it is.

I'm not referencing the actual drop height by the way the *** sags. What I'm saying is that I dont want a spring that will settle with the *** lower than the front. I've seen tein springs and h&r springs that sit at the very least level, but most of the time the front is a tad lower than the back....

the way you refer to it is somewhat confusing

The back isn't actually lower, it just looks that way because of the fenders.

Your looking for something with the same finger gap all around, not a level drop. In that case, just get some springs like H&R that have a lower front spring than the rear spring.
