Lowering 2002 EX Accord Coupe, Need Advice! ( Please Read)

[Fred Cook]

I currently own a 2002 EXL Accord Coupe.

I have bought 18" Konig Verdict's (Opal) - Offset: 45mm.
They will be wrapped in KUMHO ECSTA Supra 712 in 225/40R18.

My question is, will a 1.5" drop on Eibach PRO-KIT Springs lower the car enough, or do I need to go lower? If anybody has 18's on their car, would you please post some pics and say how much of a drop you have so I can see what it would look like. I would greatly appreciate it.

ive got a 96 Accord w/ 18" Focal F5's with 215/35 Falken's. i used tenzo springs and lowered it 2.5" in the rear and 2.25" in the front and i have like a half to 3/4" of room left.

i personally think a 1.5 inch drop will not look right. I had a 2.5 inch drop all the way around and like typerudel had a 3/4 inch more to go and thats with my body kit. I would go with either some tenzo springs or coilovers.
Typerudel: how are the tenzo springs ridin for you???

[typerudel]

honestly they are a little rougher than other brands, but i like to feel the road, so it really doesnt bother me at all. they do squeak though, which is pretty annoying, but i love them. great feel and drops it so it looks bad ass with the 18's. and they are cheap compared to other springs.

thats cool how much did you pay for them??

[typerudel]

i only paid $140 shipped about 2 years ago. eibach and neuspeed were going for about $plus shipping.

i had eibach pro-kit with some 18's on my 01 accord and i hated it...the ride was just like stock,and it wasent low enough so i just got the tein coilovers.
