I've been searching for good quality springs for awhile now that will lower my car no more than 1". I've only found the H&R OE sport springs that lower .25 inch.
Will the mass of cargo really effect the ride height?
Is this too small of a drop to reap the benifits of having your car lowered?
Anyone know of other springs that will drop no more than an 1"?
Its for a 94 accord 4cyl daily driver with plans for maybe the rare weekend event.

| I don't really see the point in lowering your car less than an inch, I don't think you'd see *that* much benefit...why not stick with OE springs? And why not drop it >1"? |

Go 2"
2 is a nice number.
<2 = boo. |

I'm afraid I'll bottom out my underside:(. |

I'd go with aftermarket shocks to stiffen up your ride
(although not overly necessay, it is a nice way to replace your existing, and probably tired, shocks).
A conservation 1.3" drop is offered by most reputable aftermarket spring companies, and it is doubtful you'd bottom out on anything less that a massive pothole (I'd say never, but i've seen some killer potholes here in Edmonton). |

| Mai, with the Accord, there was quite a drop, an bottoming out. No worries if you want to drop it a couple inches. You need to replace parts of your suspension anyways, may as well make it worthwhile. :) |

| maybe I should go with the tein basic damper, I love the ride height adjustability on them. |

i dropped mine less than an inch and i saw the difference :dunno:
mind you, i didnt wanna drop mine too much b/c i read a few things about the handling actually being WORSE than stock! ....mind you, that could also mean the tires made a big difference. Anyways, i was happy with less than an inch drop....
all depends on how high the car is to begin with :bthumbup: |
