new chicago member...

hey whats up everyone new member on here and wanted to put up a pic...

Welcome to the GLA!

Sup! Those wheels are sick.

welcome

Poppin' in to say hi.

I like those wheels, welcome!

I posted stuff in your other thread as well

my clean engine...

i got blue LED's in in the car but its hard to see...

hows it going? ive always wanted a model like that, ex-l v6 coupe in silver.

same but i wanted a white one. still do. but i hear bad stuff about trannies. but no biggie =d swap it =p

and damn thats a clean engine

my trans has been good so far...knock on wood...thanks for checkin out my car...

hey anyone know the cheapest legit way i can lower my car...

Cut your springs







Seriously though, probably springs and struts. How much of a drop do you want? I'm sort of knowledgeable in drop status

probably about 2 inches...but i need adjustable...bc i have to be able to put it back up for the winter...

If you need adjustable, I would just opt for full coilovers.

Next question, how much are you looking to spend?

what would b a reasonable price to pay i dont know a lot about lowering it..and coil overs...some one else told me about the coil overs...ive seen some ranging from a couple hundred to like 2 g's

I'm not too familiar with 6th gens, but heres a baseline pricing:

Spring & Strut combo - $300-500

Coilovers - $550-2000, with majority being between about $600-800


I wonder if F&F makes type ones for 6th gens? I dont think they do


Check this out as well. Granted, it's for 5th gens, but it will give you a great understanding of suspension for Accords:

alright so it looks like im going to have to spend atleast 600 hundo for a full coilover assembly...thanks for the info...

No problem. Good luck!

so i found these coilovers n theyre only $120....

Those are just sleeves. They would need to be paired with a really nice strut combo. Koni, Tokico, etc...which are around $300

Those coil sleeves + stock struts = disaster

bascially u can go cheap like i did. ebay coils $100. ride is bumpy. but with decent shocks its manageable. and its a 4 inch drop. which is plenty enough. now. for the bad on those. your shocks. wont last long. the stock shocks might last 6 months. i went with gr2s which is about 50 a peice. and they are going strong after about a year of being lowered.

now if you have $700ish to spare. get real full coils. with shocks and damper. it will save you a lot of work. and money in the long run

you could always go with those megans until you got a little more cash. it should last you awhile. so its not like you have to hurry

Do it once, do it right


Go for full coils if you plan on keeping your car

well i plan on keeping it so im going to have to wait...n save my money i think this summer im going to tint the windows tho...

list of things i would like to do to my car...

lower about 2-2.5"
body kit(nothing crazy tho)
cf hood/cf trunk
tint
cold air intake
exhaust

now that i think about it man..i still got a lot of stuff i want to do to it..i think in the yr. ive had it..ive done a deccent amount...

no body kit. no body kit. no body kit. those cars are fucking mad sick when they are on like 17s or 18s slammed to the ground.
