Hey can I get a picture thread going of what kind of suspension you are running and a picture of the result? I can't find one here and this would be a very helpful resource for people trying to lower their car, I have some coilover sleeves at home I'm gonna run but I've seen more "what suspension should I get" threads here than on any other site.
I went cheap and got these $60 springs off ebay (1986 1989 Accord JDM Red 2" Drop Suspension Front Rear lowering Springs Kit | eBay) and am using decently new OEM struts that I got about 3 years ago. The result is a smooth ride, but these springs are soft, so it can bottom out when you drive on rough roads. I live off a dirt road, so I can't go faster than 15 MPH because of the potholes.

Would you say the eBay springs are softer than stock?Quote:

Sounds like it rides a lot like my cut OEM springs (but safer lol).
Looks like they would bind a lot but I can't really judge, I haven't seen them in person yet.
Just bumping with Shota Moris static accord.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...dcd1fe8bd3.jpg
If I just get the springs would that work 88 accord lxi or do I need to buy new struts how much are they?
I would recommend using the search tab and checking online at various websites such as optionsauto.com or horsepowerfreaks.com or going to Autozone. This is a pretty basic question and this isnt really the place for it.

I'm not discouraging posts I just feel like there is a better place. There are boards where this will get answered much more quickly. But yes it is advisable to change the strut since it'll be out already

all time most hilarious thread on the internet. When I cant sleep at night i just randomly read this. 377 pages you cant get it all in.
After a 10 year hiatus I did actually login in there just to see if the admin of the Scout part was still active. He is a total west coast tool.
Pirate4x4 is everything bad about internet forums balled all up and swallowed by VS like a horse pill you don't want to take but have too.
I just don't want this forum to start that going that way.
Wow. Tacky.
