Please help me. Right now my Accord (4dr ex v6) is bouncing all over the place. I am slammed on Ractive coilovers, w/stock struts and shocks. Now my sterring is out of alignment. It pulls to the left. MY ONCE NICE RIDE IS NOW ****! Any help would appreciated. I dont want my car to be slammed. I want Eibach, but they do not make an application for six cylinders.

 

I know no one wants to help for some reason. I was mistaken about the Eibach. I just got the Pro Kit for $179 brand new off ebay. It lowers 1.4 front and back.

 

179 for pro-kit.. damn good deal.. ok if you want best combo go w/ pro-kit and koni yellows.. you can get away w/ koni reds but for that price you should get the KYB AGX shocks which are bomb and easy to adjust.. right now at jcwhitney.com they are 25% off w/ free shipping.. 94-97 it should be a total of no more than 265 which is ****** CHEAP!! you can expect to spend anywhere from 300-350 for all for of these shocks.. if you need shocks and are ready to dish out 265 then get these KYB AGX shocks!! of course you can spend more for tokico illuminas or blues but they are expensive but are very good too.. all depends basically on how much you can afford and how much you car about your suspension

 

sorry, don't mean to go off subject but I must ask him how his AEM CAI
boosted his cars performance? I am looking to purchase one and would like to know.

there's the link to some koni reds,(best bang for the buck and a top quality shock),,,,we also have yellows if you want externally adjustable shocks (soft to firm)

 

If you like adjustability, I put Ground Control adjustable coilovers and Tokico Illumina adjustable struts on mine, and they're sweet as hell. When the car is slammed it handles like a dream.

 

my friend has skunk2 coilovers and the ride sucks ****. later he switched to H&R and he likes it alot

 

When lowering Accords, you definitely have to install both aftermarket springs AND struts. Accords come with a soft suspension from the factory, and only replacing the springs will give you a bouncy ride, unless you like to drive a lowrider. I've experienced this by installing Eibach pro-kits on my 96 V6 Accord.
The lower stance looked cool but it bounced more and rolled in the corners. Then I took it all off again and installed Tokico struts. Now bounce is minimized and rolls are something for dinner.

 

what about just cutting the springs to low the car? does it do harm?

 

Cutting the springs would definitely be harmful. Springs are only rated by their physical dimensions: height, width, thickness, etc. Aftermarket springs are similar from the stock springs they replace. But to have a lower stance means the aftermarket springs have to be shorter. To accomplish this, the spring is usually thicker and heavier. Therefore the stock spring and aftermarket spring can support the same load under compression. But if you cut any spring, they'll lose that important inch or so of spring travel during compression and you could bottom out heavily and damage your shocks or something else. You'll achieve the look, but the ride won't be pleasant.

 

alright thanks, ill be sure to say no to the guy that was asking me if he could do it for $20

 

Yes, eibach does have an application for v6 model. There is no different between the 4cyl. & 6cyl. except the height (.2" lower). I am sure that the 4cyl. application can handle the extra weight of 6cyl.

EDIT- Read from bottow up. Sorry.
