Default 1995 Accord (Struts & Lowering)

Hi, I have just recently bought a 1995 Accord EX-L V6 and as much as I have always loved this generation of Accord I have no idea what is needed to lower them.

When I got it the struts already needed to be replaced all around so I figured if I am doing that already what all would I need to get to perform a lowering job on it. I don't want to get stock struts just to find out I should have gotten adjustable struts to lower it or something like that.

If anyone could give me a list of things I will need and moderately priced items I would greatly appreciate it. I don't have a bunch of money but anything that is good and decently priced would be great.

Thank You.

Thank You.
Why you bother here, just go to store (or order via eBay) and ask for coilovers:

You'll need chassis number of you car and that's it... Then you will want some 17'' rims... then CAI... then some exhaust... neverending story...

Good luck!

19''???? isn't original (factory) 15''? 19 will be too much!

I have (factory 15'') and I use that during winter, and now I'm rollin' on 17'' (ET35, 7J, 4x114.3) with tires 215/45, see - its fit perfect!

They actually fit perfect with a 30 series tire, my sisters friend used to have a 94 coupe with a 3" drop, 19's and they fit perfectly I absolutely loved the look.


P.S. Nice looking car btw.

I know that, if you have extra money for that kind of rims and tires - go for it
But brakes will look to small, but nevermind


P.S.: thx
