ill help u out man.. im new too so idk too mucha bout specs on some of these things but there are basically 2 ways of dropping ur car it all depends on how low or how much ur trying to spen.. if ur trying to go cheap ur lookng at springs and shock combos (i think thats what theyre called) then if u got some money u can go for coilover kits... me personally im getting the ff2 type 1's from a member on here hes got them for a good price kinda hard to find some one who beats it but those will run you about 620 i think he said..

with this ur gonna need a camber kit.. i forgot what its called but when u lower ur car ur tires tend to i guess u can say flange out ward so as you ride lik that ur wear out one side of ur tire faster than the other n thats never a good thing.. the camber kit will allign the coil over so that the 'flange' is minimized and ur riding as perfect as possible..


many ppl say that they much rather spend the extra on a coil over kit now than to spend money on a combo and end up buyig a coilover kit later.. soo you should b thinking about that

theres a thread where ppl on the site are selling parts lik rims n lip kits n hood n all that good stuff so go n check it out... lik i told u before im being nice lol wouldnt want these guys to unmotivate u lik they almost did me :flipoff: but yea start going through threads n reading up on stuff n if ur still lost then u post ur own thread asking for help.. good luck keeping the a$$ holes away though this thread is just asking for trouble lol

Welcome to the site!


Feel free to ask as many questions as you need. Just first read through the subforums and try to find your answer first. After a few years of being on the site, you get really tired of answering the same questions over and over. So please try to help us out there :thumbsup:



Below is a link to the suspension review thread. You can look through it and see the various suspension setups that people have used to lower their 6g's.

Welcome to the site. The best thing to do with your headlights is to blackhouse/colormatch your own (look in DIY section), or go with a retrofit (either DIY or pay someone like HIDIllusionz). Stay away from ebay projector headlights, though some people are happy with their TYC's.

Lip kit - just google/ebay "98-02 Accord lip kits" and find one you like. It will probably need painted. As for wheels, sets go up for sale on here, V6P, Craigslist, etc for good money. Otherwise just google wheel sites and look around. If you need a place to start, check out the member's rides and wheel review thread.

You can smoke your own tails, or again, google 98-02 accord tail lights. Most people go with VIS or Seibon carbon fiber hoods. As for lowering...I'm going to let you research this. Search the site, suspension has been discussed at length. You will find everything you could ever want to know and more.

Just a note, people are here to help, but we won't spoon feed people. You need to help yourself by searching the site and trying to find your own answers. We all have to start somewhere, but that's the reason this site is here, as a resource. Good luck.
