Default Suspension/wheel setup

I got a 97 Accord V6 and 4 cyl suspension parts are interchangeable with the 6 cyl.

Im thinkin about gettin some neuspeed sport springs or some h&r sport/race springs made for the 4 cyl. Coupled with kyb agx's that I have already.

Both springs are rated at a 1.75 F and 1.5 R. My questions is what series tires should I get to be on the safe sid when I drop it? I plan on running a 205/50 or 55/15. The tires are goin to be wrapped on 94 EX 7 spoke wheels.

Conclusions

4 cyl springs (1.75F 1.5R) on a 6 cyl car
How much more of a drop?
94 15" Accord EX 7 spoke wheels
What series tires to run 50 or 55?

I have HR sport / Tokico Blue setup on a 93, I like the suspension.

You'll need Camber adjustment, the 1.75 drop on the front put my camber almost -1.75 degrees. You'll notice it wear faster on the inside of the front tires and noticeable difference in traction and handling without having it corrected.

As far as tires, I just put some Yokohama Avid T4's on the front, still have a couple Falken Ziex on the rear, the Avid's have better snow traction imo.

195/60/15 for the size, a 205 would probably work fine for my setup as far as clearance issues. I run the 195's because we can see varying amounts of snow in the winter and wider tires tend to 'sit' on top of the snow vs. the more narrow tire.
