Question for 99 Accords???
My friend and I, has recently put on coilovers on to his 99 accord, and the problem is that since we already put on the coilovers its still staying at stock height, Its an inch lower but not as low we wanted it to be. We tried adjusting to make it lower but it wouldnt go as low. We still can fit one fist between the tire and the bottom of the fender.
And also having a problem with rear, I dont know where to start on how to put the coilovers because there is too many bolts, and I dont know which one to take off. I tooken off 3 bolts already but i dont know where to leave off! I took the 2 bolts off, on the top where it holds the whole spring and shocks, and I took another 1 off the bottom off the shocks, this is where i need help on taking the rest of it off.

thats the only three bolts you need to take off, have someone step on the rotor to push down the suspension and it should pop out, then you just maneuver(spelling?) it around to clear the control arms to get it out from under neath the fenders.

6th gen have a tricky rear suspension, the strut/shock/spring is located right behind the rear seats(on my coupe).
take off the 3 bolt on top of the strut will loosen the top part.
it's not hard at all if you know what are you doing. it's all there.
gooood luck
