Default Any 2004 Accords Lowered? If so, what suspension....

just like what the topic said, seeing what kinda of suspension to get for my ex-gf's accord. Doesn't have to be too low, just for daily driving.

hi,

i have a 7th gen accord too...just got my springs the other day and hopefully will install them sometime this week...the springs are Tein S-tech which would drop about 1.5-2 inches....i guess after i install them i can tell you how it is and show you pics if you want.

I have s-techs on my 6th gen V6. I think the drop is perfect! Maybe just a lil too low for me but its nice, im rolling on 18's as well. When i roll 4 deep it doesnt barely rub that much either.

That looks awesome. It will be so sweet on the V6 6speed wheels. It would also look hard as hell on some TL-S or CL-S wheels.

thats a nice looking 7th gen sedan, havent seen a dropped one like that before...what i dont really understand is when i was shopping around for springs, eibach and H & R were more expensive then my Teins; hence the reason why i got the cheaper ones....anyone know the difference??

I think the Tein springs are too soft and I don't like the way they ride. Plus the Eibach's and H&R's are just better springs in my opinion.

I only spent $150 on my H&R sports off http://www.groupbuycenter.com and that was shipped to my door. Yours are probably a little stiffer than stock but personally I would want more spring rate than that.

Thanks. Yeah I have my eye out for some 04 and up TL wheels 17x8, but I would'nt mind a set of of the TL-S or CL-S wheels. The 6sp Accord wheels I'm getting are a set of take offs from my dealer. You cant beat that.

I would sell my stock 16". They have about 5/32 left on them. They are mint and the day the car came in I pulled off the outside (hammer on weights) and balanced them on the inside. To me it looks better and dirt will not build up around the weight.
