I've picked out a set of Tein lowering springs, SKA16-AUB00, and a set of Skunk2 performance shocks, 541-05-1100. What else, if anything, do I need to lower my car?

 

Maybe extended ball joints? Someone else chime in.

 

Thats all you need, just get an alignment afterwards. You should have gotten different shocks, from what i hear the S2's aren't that great. Read up on them a little bit around here to get more info.

 

I do need to put new balljoints on. I have them, actually. I just never got around to putting them on. They're OEM.

And thanks. Also, I haven't purchased either yet. So there's still time to pick out different shocks. Imma check the bisi site and see if there's some on there and see how much they cost. I don't think Tein makes them.

 

Look around in the market place, there are a lot of good deals going on. What car do you have?

 

1994 Accord EX 4dr.

Koni has a few sets of shocks for my car. Price is just a little steeper, but a lot of people seem to use Koni.

 

Koni is preferred hands down. Their quality and costumer service is second to none. If i were you i'd save up a little more and buy something with a good warranty and reputation like the Koni yellows or maybe go down a notch and get the streets.

 

Are the streets the orange ones? Those were the ones I was looking at. I can afford those or the yellows. It would just take a couple of weeks to get the extra couple money for the yellows.

 

yeah the orange ones, ive heard good stuff about them from team integra members. Im just not sure how stiff of a spring they can handle max.

 

Read these, some info here for you on the streets.

The 3rd link has pictures for you.

I know you dont have an integra but it will be the same stuff.

 

Thanks I'm reading now.

 

No problem man, let me know if you have any more questions. I'm not Mr. suspension but i know a little bit.

 

only thing you would need is alignment....but just like others have said get some other shocks then skunk2 because from what i hear is they blow easy

also if you are local to so-cal, i have some skunk2 springs for sale so you can save a bit of money
