Finally finished with everything! Last week I did tokico struts/springs but ran into trouble when doing the crankshaft pully and broke it :(. Today finished up the job with new waterpump, ac belt, ps belt, timing belt, belt tensioner, brake pads, as well as new crankshafty pulleyand the lovely 'new' 95' GSR rims wrapped in Falken 512 in size 205/50/15.

As of now, I'm GLAD i got the 1inch drop. It already scrapes my driveway. The ride is fairly comfortable, it looks like there is a little bounce in the front, but i'm not an expert at telling what bounce exactly is. If it has what my guess is bounce, it is minimal to the normal person. Now the car feels more like a new sports sedan stock springs/struts. I personally like this feel, as roads aren't that perfect in San Francisco.


I'll upload more pics once I get back to my dorms since i'm on spring break right now i am stuck with 56k and don't have the time to upload all these HIGH quality pics to you guys!

enjoy the pic my brother took at a bus stop!

Looks good.

Now I have a favor to ask of you.... I just have stock springs and tokico struts, but every time I see pics of lowered cars on tokico springs, it looks like the same ride height I have stock. I checked the other day, and for me, I have about a 4 finger gap between my rear tire and the fender....

Anyways... think you could use a tape measure or something and measure from the top of the tire to the fender both front and back?

Thatd help me out a lot, thanks.

perhaps after a little more cash (this was a big spend roughly$1000) , i will tint the car as well as DIY clear side corners as well as red tails. Still debating if I should do that.


I did timing belt, alternator belt, power steering belt, waterpump, belt tensioner as well as brake pads which came out to around $220 plus add the Tokico Springs and Struts for $315. I purchased the GSR wheels with tires for $265 and sold the tires to my friend for $100. Got some new Falkens for $260 including balancing. So Total for my rims with brand new tires is $325. I have yet to get alignment which is another $90 i bet. =\

Lots of money on this one maintenance/look change.


Ride quality with Tokico Springs on Tokico Struts is fairly well. I've only driven it less that 6hrs in the driver seat. The bounce is rather minimal over bumps and I can live with it. It does feel ALOT better than the stock ride in terms of turning. Less bodyroll as well as a sharper turn (the 205 tires help).

Thanks for all the compliments. The stock accord is no more! hopefully more to come in terms of engine performance. Not really sure if i want to mess with it, since smog regulations in CA are a bitch. :violin:
