I have an 02 accord ex sedan and I found a set of oem 8 spoke wheels that I bought that I love. I plan on just doing lowering springs to it. What lowering springs do you guys recommend that won’t make it look goofy with oem wheels?

Just keep in mind that for the car to not look awkward, the front end needs to be lowered more than the rear. Essentially you need to either buy springs that give a bigger drop in front than rear, or if you buy springs that give the same drop front/rear then you should buy adjustable shocks that let you compensate for this. Though with how old the shocks likely are on your car, buying new ones (from KYB or Tokico, or Koni, etc) as BlkCurrant said is recommended.

Search "boat look" and you'll find more than you ever wanted to know. There is also a suspension review thread in the product review subforum to get some ideas for setups.

Oh and welcome to the site. :)
