I need Help!! (Lowering my car)
Hey guys. I'm a new user. I have a 1997 Honda Accord Ex. I want to lower my car about two inches, but I don't know what I need. I dont know whether to use lowering springs or coilovers or different shocks. I want my car lowered, but I still want a smooth ride as close to factory as possible. Money's not really an issue.
Thanks  |

Welcome to HS!
If you want a smooth ride, and you know you want about 2", I'd recommend getting the Eibach sportlines for springs, and you will need struts and possible a camber kit to go with them. For struts, if you have the cash, get Koni yellows. You can get a camber kit after you lower it and align it.

Well, that depends on what struts you get. What are you looking to spend approx?

You'll have a pretty good ride. You sacrifice ride for performance, so you'll have a mixture of both:
sportlines - ~200ish koni yellows - ~550 camber kit - ~125???

If you can get a set of Real coilovers I would get them, if not just go with a set of lowering springs and a set of Koni yellows.

You'll like the KONI Yellows & Eibach Sportlines, but don't expect it to ride like factory. The KONI's & Eibachs are top of the line stuff as far as springs & struts go, but they will ride different than stock.
