well, ive been looking around on my spare time, and i cant find many companys that sell drops for our cars, now before you tell me to search, i already did, and nothing really came up that i could understand.

basically, i am looking for a 1- 2.5 in drop, what companys are availible that do drops,(im looking for everything, shocks/springs or coilovers{if they are made}) [all companys in general in that case that do any sort of drop]

thanks for the help!

Tokico are the most readily available. You can get them either from nopionline.com or ebay.

I trust nopi more....

Or you could throw 500$ down and get revalved bilsteins.

it all depends on the rims and tires you have...everytime you drop a car the ride will be more bumpy and you will feel the road alot. a 1.5 inch drop would not be that drastic as a 2.25 inch one

well, i plan (wichever one is cheaper) to get some 15' rota slipstreams (what color u think i should do?)

how low is a 1.5 in drop?? i want it so that it dont look like a 4x4, (sarcastic) but i also want it so that its still comfortable. i will look for pics of peoples cars with 1.5, and diff of that and 2. thanks for the help!!!

if you want a softish ride and dont want to spend an arm and a leg, the best you can do is H&R 1.5" drop springs and tokico blue shocks. should be just over $400 total. and you can probably survive without camber correction at this drop level.

this is still not an optimal setup, but its the best you can do without shelling out real money IMO. i had these springs with koni shocks in front and tokico in rear, and stiffer shocks would have been ok with me but alex (86AccordLxi) had this setup with all 4 tokicos and I rode in the car and it was still a bit bouncy, but gave the car a decent look, and it definetly wasn't a harsh ride.

but yeah your obviously super fucking lazy cause the 2nd post in the STICKY section of the suspension forum has info on all the springs available man. u dont even NEED to search, it finds you if you are even looking in the right section....
