can anyone tell me the positives of putting accord struts on the front of my crx, and also is there any negatives? i am just kinda confused, is it just to be able to lower your car more and get the better ride. i have my car lowered to where i want it. i just want to know if putting the accord shocks will make a difference, can someone just tell me why people are doing it

 

i did it, you just get another inch or so of suspension travel, meaning if you have ever gone over a large bump, maybe some train tracks and your car bottoms out and sounds like it going to fall apart that wont happen anymore.

personally i love it. i dont think im ever going to buy crx struts again. feels alot better.

That's the 86-89 Accord stuts? and what kind are they? Thanks Rob

 

if you just want the lowered look with a good ride then the accord struts are the ****

1" extra travel does wonders on slammed crx's

 

I did it and everyone is right it works amazing. I'm completely slammed in the front with accord gr-2 kyb struts and I have lots of travel left. Also keep this in mind though just putting them on lowers your car another .5-1 inches in the front.

Yeah I did the 86-89 accord tokiko "I got's the poopy blues" too...
Only on really big bumps do I feel the suspensino bottom out w/H&R race springs.

As far as comparing, I haven't since I trusted people's advice with them.

 

got em too. havent bottomed them out yet, n I have a much smoother ride. Very happy with them.

 

Thanks for all the info guys...... now I know what I'm buying next Rob

 

but, like stated above, doesn't thie make the front of the car a lot lower than the rear? Or is this setup only good for coilover setups?

Read the two threads up there. They state that the front will be lower.

 

Dude I don't remember how much those who compared them said it lowered them extra, but it's not like you feel like it's leanin forward or any thing. My friend w/sleeves (car came w/them) hates his and is going to do the same setup.

I wish I had adj. shocks though. The b16 could use some for the weight.

 

yes, i see that...but don't you want your car planted at the same height all around? Yes, you get extra shock travel but i dont see anything but negative effects from having your front end and inch lower...especially under heavy braking.

I'm pretty sure he said it was for looks! Rob
