hey guys, i wanna know what struts/shocks will fit my CD5 accord? i am looking to take up the ride height by at least 4" (sitting at stock right now). also, will i need new axles/brakelines or anything like that? any help is greatly appreciated!!

 

cd5... what year is this, sir?

 

This isn't to fit 20"+ wheels is it?

There was discussion here a few weeks back about raising a Civic. I think the consensus was that the only way to get substantial increased ride height would be some type of custom work.

 

Accords don't make good donks.

 

lol he more than likley is about to make a donk on 22 or 24 inch wheels...I've seen it done to an integra on 22's.....don't ask me how.

 

i dont want a donk, i just want raised ground clearance so i can make it to certain places where i live. i really hate having to walk 1/4 mile everytime i visit my dad! also, the tire/rim combo i have right now doesnt lend itself to an offroad environment, and i cant fit knobbies in my wheel well at stock height.

PS, the CD5 accords are the '94-'97 year models

 

no offense intended with my past or future comments... but you should of bought a jeep or a truck if that's the case....I think raising cars past there stock ride height is actually a hazard in some way if my mind remembers correctly.

 

yeah, but high lift trucks/suv's are in high demand and are usually really abused around here, so it would end up costing a ton for something with ground clearance and AWD. something like an F/B adapter plate and tranny out of a CR-V and, say, a 4-6'' lift on my accord would cost thousands less than just buying something else. i've got resources and ability, i just wanna find OEM shocks that will work for my car. if none will fit, then what do i need to measure to find out if something will?

*EDIT* its also gonna be really, really cool!!

 

I don't think FWD lends itself to offroad environment, either.

 

Its also probably got less ground clearance than a stock Accord too...
