You can with drop forks, and I belive they are are called pro arms. (Rear lower control arm.)

OR you could buy drop knuckles, and trailing arms. Both are VERY expensive.

So yes, you'll need to be new suspension.

Shocks, springs, shocks,coilovers, it doesn't matter.

What's your budget?

Yep, and they get mad when they figure out it's the total opposite.

Modifying Honda's the right way is NOT cheap.

I have a set of Evotion Springs I'd GIVE you. But then you'd still have to buy some shocks.

I agree, dont slap eBay coils OR springs on ur car......i did this once to my porsche (944 with B16B swap and corvette rear end) and it ruined the car...not to mention my wife totaled it the next morning after the install (944 vs. tacoma, caused by overweight vehicle problem).

I got cut my springs one and a half round off last year and it worked for me. I have an eg8 4 doors. The gap between my new rims and tires and the chassis looked awful, so I decided for that cheap solution.The springs were OEM not stock, and had like 10 or 11 rounds initially, so 1 off didn't make any difference in performance, but drop the car something like 1.5 inches, consequently the gap got smaller. Now I have lowering springs wich works so much better and make a better drop . If u have oem springs you could do that, but only cutting like 1 or maybe 2 rounds.. not like 4 or 5!! be careful on that. Anyway, lowering springs are so much better and some models are not so expenssive. Good luck!
