I have a 94 Accord LX coupe. 132xxx miles and I'm looking to lower it. I was going for a Neuspeed/KYB combo package, but I'm pretty poor and desperately need a drop. Would I be ok to get just the Neuspeed sports until I can save up for some aftermarket shocks? Would I be good with the 132xxx mile shocks? Please respond, thanks!

 

it'll probably ride like crap, but i think it shall be fine, for a while.


my suggestion is to just keep saving until you can get both.

 

Yeah, That's what I was planning, but I'd probably get shocks within 2 months of getting the springs. On a scale of 1-10 how bad would it ride?

 

It's not that bad. Big bumps may bounce you out of your seat, but most will just be a little bouncy. If your not looking for luxury, you'll be OK for a while. I have had stock shocks on a very low suspension for over a year now...

 

I wouldn't do it, you'll probably have to pay for an alignment twice, and it will ride like crap. I put eibach sportlines on my car, its been on for around 6 months now with stock shocks and it rides like ****. Considering you have 130k miles on your car, and mine has only 70, your shocks are probably going to go pretty quick. I'd just wait until you can afford both, don't ghetto it like I did.

 

I hear that Neuspeed sports are all around TOUGH springs though. I read my old repair tickets from the previous owner and the shocks were replaced about 50-60,xxx miles ago. Cool part, if I do need alignment, I can do it for free because I work at Midas.

 

Oh no! What will you ever do without a madd tizzite drop y0? All your visor-clad buddies wont idealize you and you wont be a true import tuner racer!

I'm just messing with you man, but sometimes, one needs to step back and look at the bigger picture.

 

you'll be fine. I have a 93 accord with stock shock and Nuespeed sports for about 1.5 years now and still riding nice. not harsh at all

 

I've decided. Christmas will bring me Apexi WS and a cold air...also money from other family. After Christmas, I'm going to see how my funds are. I could end up buying the springs and sitting on them for awhile until I can afford springs...So after Christmas, I'll see how my funds are...anybody else?

Thanks for responding guys!

 

I'd suggest shocks over the exhaust.

Eitherway, I cant tell you what to do with your Christmas money so I wont bother. You will learn the hard way like I did.
