My girlfriend's father just purchased a brand new 2007 Honda Accord V6 Hybrid. He loves everything except the cushy suspension. He's looking for spring/strut combo or even a full coilover setup to give him a little more feedback and performance. I've called Eibach and TeinUSA but neither company makes pieces for that model.

I was wondering if maybe someone has used aftermarket suspension pieces from the regular 07 Accord V6 on the Hybrid model? I know the Hybrid model weighs a couple hundred pounds more so that adds even more questions. Even if you get the non Hybrid suspension will it handle and ride better b/c of the extra weight b/c the kit wasn't meant for such a heavy car?

All input would be greatly appreciated!!

 

I guess no one makes anything for that car.

 

Are you looking for springs or coilovers?

Either choice should bolt right on of a 4cylinder or V6 03-07 Accord

Yeah but the hybrid weighs over 300lbs more. He wants a more responsive suspension w/ better feedback not just a lowered stance. Will the springs/coilovers last w/ the extra weight and will it make the car feel better? That's the question.

 

I have a 07 Hybrid Accord dropped on 19's... It got a little lower in the back than the drop said becuase the added weight for the battery pack. But all the suspension seemed to be the same. I used Tein lowering coils. I did have to roll the fenders on a 235/35/19 w/ a +40 offset. Pic is my avatar. I am doing intake next Cutting up a AEM for the non Hybrid version due to the addition of the MAF sensor. Next will be nice quite custom dual exhaust system. Both adding a little more power and MPG. And it will be funny if they can hear the car shut off at a light then I can pull away from them. As it stands I can pull away from RSX type S by cars lol... 265hp and the extra 100ft lbs from the electric motor makes for fun at lights.

 

Cool thanks. I purchased the Tein Basics for him and hopefully we'll install it soon. It'll be on factory wheels so we won't have to worry about rolling fenders.

 

there is a v6 hybrid?

 

Bump to that. Wow JDMdippinEJ1 pulls away from RSX-Ss in absolute silence. That is one of the coolest things I have seen on this forum. And when you get that custom exhaust installed, (thread that b*tch pix and all, obviously) the delay between you pulling away and then 3 seconds give or take and then boom a custom exhaust....that is going to be even trippier. Props to u my friend, thats creativity.

 

Thanks! And you know what is sad? I swap cars as a hobby and bought this as a comuter car to leave alone. Now I think I wanna do alot more to it. Sad that my GSR w/ a b20 and full suspension is taking the back burner to a v6 Hybrid Accord lol
