Default Low Drop

Hey everyone, I am a the new owner a 2014 honda accord v6. I recently purchased some 20 inch rims for it.. It looks GREAT. My question is, is there anyway or whats the best way to lower the front of my car 1/2 inch? I like the way it sits now ( level ) but I would like a slight rake

any input would be appreciated

Buy a set of coilovers. You can set the height you want. Tein street advance is a very popular choice for Accords. But I believe that they lower the car a minimum of 1". They do ride better than stock and they do hold up well. They're also cost effective.

Thanks, I may try that out... Will I need to get an alignment with a 1" drop ?

You'd need an alignment with any kind of drop or suspension modification. But alignments are like $180 for a lifetime deal at Firestone or similar.

Was thinking S techs, or something similar. However I have to agree with B serious. Coilovers are going to your best option in this case.

I would recommend these considering personal preference. Tein products tend to provide more quality aspects, but at a higher price though.

You'd be saying some cash and you'll be able to set your desired ride height ("1/2 inch")
