Drop

Is it fairly easy to drop a sixth gen accord? I tried to look for it in the "How-to" but no luck there.

Anyway, I cant seem to find a shop that will lower it, why is that?

I guess me and my friends are gonna have to lower it ^_^. i need advice.

it's not hard at all. i did it on mine. it's about a 5-7 hrs job

1: loosen the wheels
2: jack up the car
3: remove the wheels
4: pop up the hood and trunk. also remove the rear seat ends.

for the front:
1:remove the brake lines from the strut assembly ( usually 2 screws and the hose will come off.
2: losen the screw from the fork.
4: remove the 3 screws in the engine compartment. at this point in time the shock/ spring assembly should come off.
5: put the spring compressor and apply slight pressure to the spring, so you can remve the nut on top. remove the nut and and dissasemble the thing. easyliy remove tension from the spring(be carefull on this one). assembly is reverse of removal.

for the rear it's the same, but the strut is attached to the rear control arm.

Thanks Hondamaniac, but why dont shops do these?

I called Midas, Goodyear, and Sears. They say they dont do lowerings? Under what category in the phone book could i find people who can do this?

i don't know. if u lower the car they have no warranty that the parts will work fine, or you won't get in an accident because of that.

If you buy the stuff from them, maybe around $100-125. If not, $125-200 depending on the shop. You just have to talk to them. Many don't have fixed prices on each car and they'll hook you up if you buy from them.
