I'm pretty sure that's a solid no. The DC is a strut type setup, I may be incorrect but I'm pretty sure

DC5 will not fit on the 7th Gen Accords. They are two different type of suspension. The Accord is a double wishbone. The strut of the Accord has a fork that is connected to the lower control arm. The DC5 is a MacPherson strut which the strut is connected to the knuckle.

Also, the difference in weight isn't even that much. The dc5 aluminum is probably like 3-5 lbs. The accord steel I'd probably 7-10 lbs at most. Its not worth it. You are better off going on a diet just to lose 10 lbs.

Though the suspension doesn't fit.  Loosing 10lbs in your gut isn't the same as loosing 10lbs of unsprung weight.
