Default Accord shocks lower the car more with springs or just coilovers?

Im gettin in some bilstein accord front shocks for my crx this week and I was wondering if they will actually lower the car more since they are shorter and I have race springs or would it lower it more with coilovers only?

Accord shocks will lower the car about 1" more than if you use CRX shocks. You need to use coilovers to be able to make up the difference, unless you WANT the front lower than the rear by that much.

Ask Bryson on the board, he used the Accord shocks with Skunk2 C/o's.

Nope, won't do the same for rear. Accord rear shocks - same length as CRX rear shocks.
