first honda

[1staccord99]

picked up this 1999 accord ex 5-speed about a year ago. Right now its pretty much stock aside from a new sterio, some pait work, RAI and a neuspeed front tower bar.

dont waste your money on a front sway bar, just doing the rear will be good.

if you add

to the end of your links, theyll show up as pictures.....but its all the same picture, haha.

ya sorry im new and i didn't know how to post pictures. if you click on the pick after you ger to the page there are others. thank you for the advice on the swaybar. by the way, isn't the front aftermarket sway bar smaller than oem?

yea, its cool...thats why i told you how to, haha.

no? well, it shouldnt be. the front sway on 6g's is fine. just do the rear, which will decrease the understeer and youll handle better. i wouldnt go buying all these other parts tho without putting in some sort of decent suspension first.....you cant really appreciate the benefits from them with stock sloppy suspension.

aright well i was thinking about a set of sportline springs but i was afraid of ruining my stock shocks. will this happen and if not will i be able to install the new springs with simple hand tools and the loaners from autozone? also can i edit my original post to fix the pics and other things?

 

[Sketch o5]

you can do suspension with hand tools, air tools just make it easier. i wouldnt use a loaner from autozone....and by asking about a loaner, im guessing you mean the spring compressor. just buy one, theyre like $40 and better than the loaner. imo, whenever you lower a car with drop springs or coilover sleeves, you should always get new, aftermarket shocks....why do the work twice?

the edit button is right next to the quote button, in plain sight.

what are some good shocks to pair up with a 2'' drop?

im a big fan of Tokico. they make great shocks. i had the illuminas, but the HPs at the cheaper ones, but are still a great product. you can get them off ebay for a good price too.
