Hey, i have a 2006 Accord v6 Lx 3.0 L. I want to lower my car, but i am very confused on how to go about it. I hear coilovers are better than shocks and springs, and vis versa. Can you help me out? Okay, i want to lower it a good amount, probably 1.2 inches, so it wont scratch much, but will rid the fender gap, and gather a little sitffer suspension. Should i go with shocks and springs? or should i go w coilovers? And if i do go w shocks and srings, what set of springs will be really good to use? and when i get the shocks, i hear koni yelllows are good, but do i need them for all wheels, front left right and rear? any help will be good, thanx

 

coilovers if u can.
for that drop
koni and a eibach prokit.
Get all for if you can.

 

Honestly if you want springs go with TEIN i have heard good things from fellow honda firends that have them. I have had coilovers before and liked them but i am awaiting my springs in the mail and havent had a chance with them myself, so good luck though.

 

I don't think Tien has a 1.2 drop

 

soo if i get springs and shocks, lets say i get a kit and the kit says 1.75 drop, does that mean i can go UP till 1.75? or does that mean that kit will drop it 1.75

 

on springs it means it will drop 1.75", coilovers will give you adjustment and will rattle your fillings loose(not really but close sometimes). stay away from the spring a sleeve coilovers that doesn't have its own damper(shock), if you want a good ride. this is just based on my expierence with the 3 set of spring and sleeves and the 3 sets of springs i had all on accords
best bet Eibach springs, if you have the money go with Koni damper(prefrence), although i've never used Tokico's

 

alright so what do u suggest about a camberk it. Say i get the Ebaich springs 1.2 rear and front, or even 1.5 rear and front, do i need a camber kit?

 

It would be optional. Most people won't recommend a camber kit unless you're dropping 2"+. But you'll get some camber wear on your tires if you drop it and don't have a kit.

 

alright cool, so this is what im thinking, I want to get the 1.2 front, 1.3 rear eibach pro kit, and koni yellow shocks, is that a good combo? now when i get the shocks i have to get front right and left shocks correct? and then a set of rear ones? and one more thing, whad is a coil "dampering" kit. what does it mean dampering kit. lets say i get the coilover kit, to adjust it i haeve to take to a shop right? and if i get the kit, i just tell them my initial wanted height im guessing?

 

yes, just get that.

I wanna do this all w out that much expense tho bc of money issues, sooo are just springs and shocks aight? w out a camber kit

 

Yes i am dropping my accord 1.25 inch w/o one and it will be fine. I also had an EG with more than a 1-2.5 drop something of that nature. It was coilovers so i just lowered till i like the way it looked and no wear of the tires abnormally at all. so good luck.

 

i would spend the money on a camber kit, cause in the long run ur gonna spend more on tires even if u have only a lil bit of camber on ur tires they do wear unevenly
