Reason you dont see accord with "Bags" is because of the suspension setup..you will need to run air cylinders to be safe.. If you want to fabricate some brackets for bags you will tear through them like hot butter with your tires..I suggest going with cylinders and calling it a day.

congrats have a cookie on me..read my sig i think i understand the fabing idea..


here is the point you need to run cylinders.."air bags" are not designed for honda use..if you were to turn with bags the tire would tear a whole every time...

baGged93aCcord is correct. Go with cylinders it is not that hard to do. We put cylinders on an 89 and 92, and I helped start my friends truck shop and do work there for them so i have a lot of experience with air ride.

Here in Knoxville. We do everything from bodydrops to air ride fullsize and mini's. Right now we are doing a caprice and two 65 Impalas. Just finished doing a 5in body drop on an S10 with a 350 swap.
And i am working on a 65 Chevy longbed here at my house teaching my brother and my dad about how to restore and mod stuff. It is fun and we are doing a 383 in it.

Yeah, what Bagged said already. You're just gonna waste your time trying to fit bags under that accord.

There is a reason that they made cylinders for cars. It's a whole different ballgame when it comes to cars. Trucks have frames. Cars have unibody.

If you need help or have any Q's, make sure you PM either me or Bagged.

Good luck, and make sure you drag off some road markers when you're done.
