Thought this was interesting...

This is for those of us who only want a drop via only springs i.e. the Eibach pro-kit. I'm sure most of you guys have seen it before. I ran across it being curious as to see if such a video comparison existed out there, and what do you know?.... It's actually of a 7.5G Accord.

Someone should save these videos if the uploader were to ever take them down. This is good stuff.

Interesting. Good thing I'm dropped on coils with stock shocks then. Imagine the difference with upgraded shocks.

[CYANiDE]

Wow. That's pretty good for the price. I'm thinking of getting dropped on springs for now, but we'll see. Going to be bouncing up and down in NYC lol.

I actually first saw this comparison in a magazine with pics of the Accord. That's when I searched for the videos. Good stuff

Is it bad to put aftermarket lowering springs on a stock shocks? i read somewhere it puts load of pressure on other parts of the car.

[CrackerTeg]

Yes and no. Depending on the drop you're trying to achieve. Upgrading your shocks is always a good thing. I've seen people get good results with a shock upgrade when using stock springs. I'm not big on goig through all that trouble for stock height but that's me. I've been running my S techs for about a year/ 30k miles on stock shocks and haven't experienced any problems. I do plan on upgrading in the future though.

Anyway, I'm kind of getting off topic. Many people have run drop springs with stock shocks and have been satisfied with the results. It all just depends how aggressive a drop you want. There's more to it than that but I don't feel like typing it all from my phone.

[GNskates]

Are the Tein S-techs about the same as these? im debating on either the pro-kit or the s-techs

Sweet great info
