Lowering 93 Accord

Honestly, I would recommend buying some cheap springs online rather than cutting your stock ones. Cutting the springs to lower the car will work, but it's not really the best idea since it messes with the spring rates. Your car will probably end up with a pretty crappy ride.

Springs are dirt cheap on eBay, and since you have to take apart the spring/shock assembly to cut them anyway, you might as well be putting new springs on.

That's my 2 cents...take it or leave it...

One more thing to consider...

When it comes time to sell your car the new owner might not want it to be lowered. If you cut the stock springs than you're SOL, but if you take the stock ones off and put some cheap lowering springs on, then you have the option of putting them back on or giving them to the buyer when you sell it.

Yea that's true i waited on it and iv got some springs on order even tho my car will never be for sale ill burn it at one of my summer partys before that

ah and dude what ever happened to you 88 Lude my buddy wants to know cause he needs power steering parts

Please don't cut the springs only bad things will happen.. I did it many years ago before I knew anything about cars, and I've never had a car that rode as bad as that one. It fucks up the spring rates and blows your shocks as an added benefit.

LOL! Sorry, your buddy is out of luck there, I crashed that thing like 5 years ago...

Fun car though! Four wheel steering FTW!
