Well I've been looking through the Accord FAQ and I'm trying to understand dropping. Really all I want to do is drop my front 1.5 and my rear 1.2(or something similar to that, something around there).

How do i go about this?
What all do i need to get?

I was looking into getting those springs. Good idea?
If so, Where do i go from there? Anything else i need to buy?

Thanks for the help.

You might want to buy shocks absorbers and a camber kit, but not necessary

i've got the tein s.techs which give a 2.1 up front and 1.7 in the rear. my wheels are 18X8 and to me the drop is perfect, it's about 1 and 1/2 finger gap all the way around.

for a 1.5/1.2 drop you don't NEED new shocks and camber isn't required, however new shocks would only be beneficial

You should do the job right and install new shocks, or you will have to do it somewhere down the line. Suspension is one mod you want to do right the first time, but it
s up to you. And no, you don't need a camber kit for any drop less than 2".


Take a look at these, I think it will help you make your decision, and learn a little in the process.

There is an instal guide on the DIY master list, but it sounds like may need to take your car to a shop to have this done.

Alright, Well I think I'm actually going to get coilovers, but how do I go about this?
What all would be a good idea to buy with it? Lol, sorry. Just really new to this suspension stuff.

Thanks for helping btw and Red thanks for the links. I'm sorta getting a understanding.
