I was just wondering I have a 00 Honda Accord (4 cylinder Engine) and want to install Neuspeed Race springs...to compliment my 18 inch Enkei's...

the only problem is time and time again I get told that I will rub, if I use these lowering springs...The offset of my rims are 40mm..with 225/40 Series tires

but yet the only people who told me I rub are those with 6th gen accords on Eibach Sportline which are infamous for sagging...that is what causes the rubbin in my mind...

So since I want to use Neuspeed Race springs, they are much stiffer than the Eibach and Neuspeed doesnt sag as much...

With that in mind, am I safe to use the Neuspeed Race springs, will I rub? or encounter any problems?

What to do...help me !!!!

what engine you have? 2.3 or 3.0?*notice that they have different part number.
you prolly wouldnt rub with a low pro tire, what's your rims/tire size total up to?
eibach are imfamous for sagging? alot of people buy nothing buy eibach when they come to lowering springs.

 

What's the widht of your rims? 7.5 or 8.0"?

 

use 195/40 instead

 

with that offset you might encounter rubbing since I think the perfect offset is 45 and cutting it close on a 42 offset

 

if you want that slammed look get the Race, but if you want just the lowered look, the Sportline is better for ya. on my car it lowered only 1.25" all around on OEM shox, not the 1.8" they advertised.

 

well. it all depends on the widht of your rims. i have 17x7.5 with +42 offset, 225/45/17 tires, and that's the max i can go in the rear; anymore and it will rub. So if they're 7.5", you will be cutting it close with the +40, especially if you lower a lot. If it's 8.0", no chance in hell.
