i have been doing a lot of reading lately to espire my dream of lowering my 90 accord ex for less than $300 and having my car ride without boucing around like a cangaroo. from what i read i got more and more confuzed and i woke up from my dream
anyways what would i be needing to lower my 90 accord ex without having my car bounce like a cangaroo(control #1 priority then looking good)
please begin from the first part --- to the last one that i would be needing. pic will be more than helpful. i am a moran when it comes to mechanical language so keep it in plain english lol( eventhough i am not american)
the thing is i am working in a tight budget(not a lot of money) so give me what u got.
i don't have the money now but at least i can learn what i will be needing in the future. all instalation will be done from me and only me. no money for the mechanic.

 

u can get GOOD springs for 150-200 + <100 for an alignment......u dont NEED a camber kit/new shocks, but it will save u money in teh LONG RUN, as ur stock shocks will eventually blow, and the tires will be worn to ****

 

why would my tires be worn to ****. does lowering do anything to the tires. i haven't read anything like that.
will the car bouce with stock shock and the new springs???

that is the reason for camber kits, usually you need to camber if you do a major drop, alot of heads dont but like stated above your tires will eventually wear out all funky...

and either ebay,H-t,tasauto and many more sell sets of springs for like 200 eibachs,neuspeeds etc etc.. i was browsing thru ebay before someone was sellign a set of tokico struts + springs for 300... not a bad deal but depends on your liking of springs etc etc..

 

If you drop your Accord past 2 inches then you'll definitly need a camber kit to correct your camber. Camber is the tilting of the upper tire. If you drop it past 2 inches then you'll notice that the top of the tire is tucked into the fenderwell. This creats a cool look and turning is much quicker but will quickly eat away the inner lining of the tire.

You also can't correct camber at an alignment shop without camber kits. If you don't have a camber kit then the only thing they can do is adjust your toe.

 

the thing is i am not going to lower my car more than 2 inch. that is more that enough for me.
so in oreder to lower my 90 accord ex i would be needing
1-new shocks
2-springs
3-kamber kits
4-alignment----$60 in philly
that is all right????
how much will it cost to buy them. i don't need the shity ones that make my car bounce like a cangaroo and what i read tokico tend to blow after 1 year.

 

am i right or not???? i don't plan to go over the 2inch. would i be needing kamber kits

 

you don't NEED a camber kit unless you drop more than 2 inches. Just realize that the insides of your front tires are going to wear a tad quicker than before.

Shocks are what are going to prevent your car from bouncing like a Kangaroo.

On my 91 accord, I had a set of Suspension Techniques springs, stock shocks, and no camber kit for about 2 years. The car was lowered enough to look good, but not slammed. The ride quality was EXCELLENT I thought; not bouncy at all. The car was more stable a higher speeds and through corners.

I have those springs for sale if you are interested, I will do $125 shipped.

 

i am shopping around for coilovers. i found a set for my accord for $300 now i have to shop around for shocks.

 

If you get coilovers I suggest you get a camber kit as well.
