They aren't meant to be used with such low springs

 

what r some other shocks i can use beside illuminas cuz i cant afford tho and i gotta get new springs n shocks asap bcuz im gettin the work done for free at school and i can wait to much longer to take it in

 

whats your budget? KYB AGX are pretty affordable and work great with H&R race

 

anything shocks under 300

 

you should buy your springs and struts that are designed to work together. If you want your tires to live, get a camber kit

people here ride on camber with tire rotations though.
Toe is the real killer especially when in conjunction with camber.

 

How low can you go and still use stock shocks? I just bought a 96 sedan with 76k on it, and I'd like to lower a little. It's my daily, so I don't want it slammed.

 

a rule of thumb is anything over 1 or 1.5 inches. but its also the spring rates that really kill stock dampers too. generally, for whats available for the accord, the only springs you can use with stock shocks is the eibach pro-kit, tein s-tech, or H&R OE (or whatever its called)

s.techs too. atleast thats what tein claims, and their rates are pretty conservative. my friend had some on his civic hatch with stock dampers, the ride was alright, just a tad bit under dampended, but it didnt kill the dampers.
