i have a 1995 honda accord ex-r and im thinking of getting lowering springs but no shocks because i cant afford it right now. I belive eibach sportlines lower 1.7inches and work with your OEM stock shocks. my shocks have around 180k on them and i just wanted to know a rough estimate of how long my stock shocks would last before they blow. i was told eibach prokit and sportlines dont require shock replacement and wont damage your shocks much.

 

sportlines would blow em.. just wait till you have enough money for shocks and springs, itll save you money in the long run.

At 180K I bet they blew a while ago

good call

 

no my shocks r good still...they ride like "they are" brand new...so say i get eibach prokits on stock shocks they will prbly last a while...rite..and pro kits lower around 1.5 inches rite?

 

ud prolly be ok for awhile

 

will i need an alignment kit or a camber kit if i get eibach prokit...im also planin on gettin 215-45-17 tires to hide that ugly fender gap

 

get an alignment...camber wont be a huge problem...ull still have some gap

 

you should get 265x45x17s. they are the ****.
shocks would be nice. not a necessity right away though.
i rode on stocks and sportlines for a while, they never blew, i just upgraded later

 

ya right...one of my friends put sportline springs on his 4 door 1998 civic also and hes had them on for about 5 months now and his stock shocks havent blown yet...they still have a good ride.
