Just wondering if the springs from a hatch will work on a four door accord.

Just wondering if the springs from a hatch will work on a four door accord.
I think they'd fit but they have different spring rates. They're listed in the manual you can download from that russian dude's site.

When people tell you there car handles so great after they lower it is 80% because they have negative camber prolly around -2 degrees. The rest is a higher spring rate.
I run -2 thru many set of tires with no uneven wear on very soft performance tires.

Yeah I'm dropped 2.2.inches all around and for some reason my rear camber was of -2 degrees. I'd go through a brand new set of tires in a month or so. And I mean they would look like racing slicks. But my front was only off -1 degrees and they barely got any wear on them. I still need to get a alingnment however.Quote:

they no longer make them cause i cant find the company on line and there phone number is well no longer theres but iv seen a couple of reveus an such on other forums and they said they liked them so sounds like a good price for new springs
You will need camber kits bro. Mine is lowered 2.25 inches. I wish I could have waited till I had my camber kits before I lowered mine since you have to take the suspension apart anyways.Quote:

normally 1" is the standard. I have seen guys go 1.5"s with no problem with crazy camber. I have -2 and -1.7 degrees of camber even with prelude arms and for some weird reason, i still get even tire wear.Quote:
