98-03 Type R coil overs

ive used the search engine but i cant find a definitive answer.

the more i look at the car the more i think the suspension sits to high even for a stock car the camber on the front wheels is off to the point its wearing the outside edges of the tyres - spotted this yesterday.

ive found on the Bay a full set of 98-03 Accord Type R suspension looks like unadjustable coil overs, im guessing this is going to be lower sitting and stiffer but will it fit the V6 coupe , if it will im thinking as a stop gap until my bonus arrives it might help in getting the car to sit right and help with the wallowing.

has this been done

There was no Type-R, and the years are wrong.

His location is UK.

There was an Accord Type R in the European market. Just as there was an Accord Euro R for the Japan market. Both models were 4 door. Red Top 2.2's available. Hobbit is correct.


I only see lowering springs for his model on EBAY, that is what he meant by unadjustable coils. They appear to be generic no name brands..which I would NOT recommend.

If you can get Eibach springs or H and R springs, I recommend those 2
-- I think H and R is Germany based, so would be best bet for you probably, no?


However, it sounds like you may have other suspension issues based on your description. Have you had a shop diagnose any possible issues?

If the outside edges of your tires are worn, that's positive camber.

Edit

thought toe was point the wheels in at the front ? they are deffo angled in at the bottom , hurry up pay day so i can get it all checked



this is the alignment chart i found the tyres are deffo positive camber and i don't see any toe in but it may be there and it pulls left

You're right I don't know what I was thinking lol, my kid kept me up half the night. Yes you have positive camber if the outside edge of the tire is wearing faster.

Fixed.

hope wasn't keeping you up for the wrong reasons
