Default New Project

Hello. I am looking at doing something to a vehicle for a new project but I have a question. As silly or odd as this may sound, will HONDA ODYSSEY coil springs fit onto a 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6 in order to RAISE the vehicle, and if so, what YEAR Honda Odyssey coil springs will work, and which END, FRONT or REAR? And also, if that does not work, can the FRONT coil springs on that same vehicle, a 2003 Honda Accord EX-V6, be used in the REAR to RAISE the vehicle? If neither one of these methods work, what can be done to raise the vehicle's suspension??!!

Making an Accord rally car are we???

Seriously, though, you're going to be hard-pressed to find any sort of raised suspension information around here, especially on the vehicles you mentioned. Not very many people on H-T have Odysseys, even fewer have tried to raise their ride height, and even fewer than that have checked for suspension compatibility between an Odyssey and an Accord.

You may need to just try to find some Odyssey springs cheap at a junkyard and try to fit them on your Accord and see what happens.

Adjustable coilovers with tall springs are another possibility. Just need to watch out that you don't run out of suspension extension (droop) travel, which makes it easier for tires to lose contact with the ground while driving or cornering.
