Well I was bored today and I have some ef neuspeed springs from the jy. SO I got my old shocks and springs out to see if the springs would fit...

OH yeah and this is the reason I started messing with the ef springs
major wheel gap in the rear and I'm on a 2.25 drop I don't get it lol

looks like the front would work but the rear would be dumped

By looking at the difference between the rear ef spring and the rear accord one you'll see that it might be too low of a drop? looks almost 3inches. What do you guys think? will it work? I might try it tomorrow. Yeah check out the rear discs too.

Yeah but if it's not too much of a difference I could even it out by shaving the fork 1/2 an inch

im 99% sure those rear ef springs wont work...thats way too much of a drop. I dont think it will even sit properly in our strut assemblies.

The accord top hat might be too big anyways. I know cutting springs isn't the correct way to get lower, but... how bad do you think it'll be if I cut some off of the dropzone spring im running right now?

from your pictures it looks like with the weight of the car on those springs your car would be sitting on the bumptops with no travel of the shock at all.

ebay them things probably get like 100 for em.

I thought all types of springs have the same uncompressed height for a particular car. I thought this because the suspension still has the same travel distance no matter what springs are on it, so they were the same height as stock springs just incase your suspension needs to travel to the max, otherwise the spring will fall out of its seat and get messed up.

Is this correct?

Well today i was taking off the dust sheild on the rear discs so I can put my 13" rims back on. I took one shock out and put the ef spring in. The spring is way too small at the top and yes the drop would of been too low. Even if the drop weren't too low I wouldn't drive it, looked unsafe. I'm pretty sure the front would work though will be a bit lower of a drop too. I wanted to put my 13" rims back on because those tires are almost new and the ones on the fat fives are pretty much gone and I dirve on the highway alot...The wheel gap does look smaller with those balloon 185/70/13 tires. lol
