lowering the cb

[jdmaccord5000]

ok so i wana drop my 92 lx but i was wondering if it was stupid to drop it with the just the springs cause a friend of mine is junking his 94 accord and asked if i wanted the springs. i belive they fit but idk if i should throw 2"lowering springs on oem shocks? but at the same time i dont really wana spend like 600$ on tokico shocks and springs and on top of that installation. im broke right now but enyways would it mess up my suspention real bad if i do?

you'll probably blow your shocks sooner or later.

It'll ride like poo poo and within a year or so you'll be looking at buying new shocks.


BUT...your car will be dumped haha. To some form is above function.

[jdmaccord5000]

lol true.. i guess ill just wait. but damnn i really wanted to drop it. but what ever ill just wait and get some tokicos lol any one know any other good brands that are easy on the wallet?

I couldn't wait and put 2" lowering springs on OEM shocks. Blew in a month lol. Adjustable coilovers are pending, so the tirade of boating around town will soon be over. BTW it's scary driving with blown shocks; car handles very poorly.

its better if you save some money to buy a sport shock and then after that drop your car as low as you want,but not to low.

all this tells me is that you are an idiot...

People act like ride quality is the only concern. SAFETY is the biggest concern! When the shocks blow, your wheels leave the ground over bumps, and when braking hard. The shocks in our cars are very likely original... which means they're older than most of you kiddies on here. Slamming a car on those is absolutely stupid.

If you can't afford to do it right, you can't afford to do it at all. I don't want to be the guy you hit because you were too cheap to replace your shocks.

If you want to go cheap, KYB GR2 shocks are very reasonable, and they seem to hold up for a good while.

deevergote has a good point.
save up and do it right, our cars can actually be set up to be a great handling car if done properly.
i dont know what you eventually want to spend but i'm currently running the tein ss set up and love them.
just my 2 cents.
good luck

just go shop on ebay for springs... you'll be perfectly safe
