Default lowering an 05

I have a 05 V6 accord with 08 V6 18" rims. I need to lower about 1 inch front and rear to fill the wheel gap. What is the cheapest way without loosing the ride? Like a company with good prices.

Tein H-Tech's or Eibach Pro Springs or Neuspeed springs (not the Sport ones).

i have an 05 coupe and i have the eibach prokit. it only lowers the car 1.2 in all around but i cant even tell the difference in the ride between stock. its great! it only costs $225. the cheapest way to close the wheel gap while still maintaining stock ride IMO.

Did you need to do any camber adjustment for this kit?

If you didn't, do you think you should?

Was thinking about this the other day also.

To all that have dropped their ride, did you diy or take it to a shop? All the people I know that installed new springs ended up with some camber issue of some kind.

yeh, i would get tein h-techs if you just want 1 inch. plus they are the most comfortable. I have s-techs, and they lower more, and the ride comfort is exactly like stock, no difference, a passenger can sleep in your car without discomfort. they are very comfortable. I brought it to the shop for $150. i wouldn't want to do it myself, the top nut was IMPOSS to take off with basic tools, i couldn't get it off.
