(10th Gen) 2018+ Honda Accord Lowering Springs - Suspension Mods!

[@originalmusic401]

i'm thinking of lowering springs, it'll make my 1.5T sport look even more aggressive and clean

[@GA08GT478]

I don’t plan on lowering my Accord, but it’s interesting to see what’s out there. Thanks for doing the legwork.

[@marcusgarza6274]

I have the D2 racing springs and they ended up giving me a 2.3, and 2.2 inch drop in the rear and 2.0 inch drop in the front. They are more then 20% stiffer in my opinion then oe springs but they really do handle great in the corners and really plant the car down! Can’t beat the $$

[@aye_j7970]

I have them as well, I love the look but for some reason they creak a lot. I check on some forums and everyone says its the same thing, always the driver side. Kind of annoying but great for the price like you said.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Really? I’m surprised as I’ve not had any creaking coming from the springs.

[@kimanismith946]

I have noises coming from mine idk because got them from a 1.5t and my car is a 2.0t

[@usamanizami4396]

Thank you for this video! I had a noob question. Is there anyway I can lower my accord without it scraping over dips and speed bumps? I have a 2020 sport t.i

[@TheLemonFactor]

That all depends on how low you go, how big those speed bumps are and if you have a front spoiler. I recently posted a video of the install and feed on the Eibach lowering springs that you may find helpful. It’s a very conservative drop and I haven’t had any issues with scrapping on speed bumps. 👍

[@boulanpoh205]

I have the touring. Thinking about getting the eibach sportline. Do I still need the camber kit. And how about the sway bar

[@blakelagrassa218]

I've been wanting to lower my 2019 2.0 but want to make sure I do everything right. I want to get the Tein S tech Springs. Was planning on just getting the springs and then getting them aligned a few weeks after. Will the stock struts be fine in the long run? Should I have any other concerns?

[@TheLemonFactor]

I haven’t had any issues with the stock shocks and Eibach spring combination. I do have a detailed install video that you may find helpful as well as several videos covering camber and wear.

[@rickcarrasco6716]

So what would you recommend for a 2018 Honda accord EXL? What kind of suspension is that and what would be the best lowering springs to put on

[@Apolac]

Do you have a camber kit suggestion?!

[@companerotranquilo4043]

I went with the Tein springs & Tein endura pro plus adjustable shocks on my 1.5t. Ride and response is top notch. I highly recommend doing both. Not only springs on oem shocks. I like Tein products, I have their coilovers on my 06 S2000.

[@whyhector984]

How dose it ride I was thinking of going with that same set up ? It’s it more Bouncy

[@companerotranquilo4043]

@Tony Camaj paid around $700 for the kit. Springs & struts/shocks.

[@companerotranquilo4043]

@@whyhector984 naa, not bouncy. Just a slight stiffness but can be adjusted because the shocks are 16way dampening adjustable.

[@SlaveToTheGrind1969]

Where did you get your shocks and struts from?

[@kenn3y_a]

Thought I'd mention that Tein lists their S Tech springs as being Progressive and NOT Linear.

[@ericwatler23]

I have the eibach pro kit with shocks on my 2012 sxt charger!!! And on smooth roads speed bumps it rides about the same, cornering take offs and hard stops it rides better. But bumps bumpy roads and imperfections on the road it rides really really harsh. I’m disappointed because 1.1 f and 1.3 b with shocks it should ride the same except handling should be better! And as a 56 year old hot rod guy I love my daily drivers lowered but not so low I can’t drive it like it should be driven. Do you have any ideas?

[@TheLemonFactor]

Are you saying you’re using the stock / OEM shocks with them?

[@ericwatler23]

@@TheLemonFactor No I have the eibach shocks and Springs the pro kit. And on smooth roads it rides the same as stock shocks and springs, but bumps bumpy roads are imperfection it rides really HARSH.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with Eibachs shocks, as I’ve only used their springs with stock shocks with good results 🤷‍♂️. With that said, have you reached out to Eibach to see if there might be something wrong with them?

[@ericwatler23]

@@TheLemonFactor I have I think I might ask for my money back on the shocks maybe both🤔 With me being 56 I like low-car but I want a good ride and from what I’ve seen on KZbin 50% people that have eibach say the ride is really harsh.

[@TheLemonFactor]

My guess is that the shocks are tuned stiffer than you prefer. Getting a good set of adjustable shocks, or coilovers would give you the ability to fine tune the feel to your liking.

[@kingofallmen1]

[@TheLemonFactor]

Eibach or H&R

[@jackimagalhaes1910]

So you have not install yet?

[@joelrivera6781]

How low can you go without needing camber kit?

[@bj10jgo]

Nice content! and just subscribed. Do you regret getting the springs? I am trying to decide if should get the H&R that drops 1.2 or the Eibach Prokit but there is no aftermarket shocks and i heard these springs will blow your OEM shocks quick. Just wanted to get you feedback if its really worth it or you are experiencing any issues with your tires wearing out or your shocks wearing out.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Actually, I haven't gotten the springs yet. Every time I go to buy I get cold feet. I really like the Touring's adaptive suspension system and don't want to mess it up, yet I'd like to minimize the wheel well gap. I will probably end up purchasing either the Eibach or H&R as they aren't as aggressive when it comes to the spring rates, and not a severe a drop as some of the others, which means it should work with the stock shocks better than others would. I don't know of anyone who's blown their shocks with Eibach or H&R. If you were going with a bigger drop, or high spring rate, yes, it would stress the stock shocks, but having them blown is rare.

[@bj10jgo]

@@TheLemonFactor I am in the same boat as you.. lol. It's like i really want it but im afraid of the consequences like the oem shocks wearing...etc. I guess we have to trust our gut in the end.

@@TheLemonFactor I have a 2020 accord touring, keep us updated on which springs you get and how it feels compared to stock. I'm thinking about getting eibach

[@goddamnadam623]

I see your comment on a rear camber kit down there but I was wondering. If I install lowering springs could I go without getting a rear camber kit and just get an alignment? Or it doesn't work like that. Thanks.

[@TheLemonFactor]

You should definitely get an alignment done - some people wait a couple hundred miles first just in case the springs settle. As far as a camber kit, it all depends how much out of spec the springs put you... if you are going with a modest drop, i.e. 0.75"-1" you may not need one, but if you go lower, you probably will. You could go in for the alignment and see how bad it is first before going with the camber kit.

Can anybody help me out,i need to know the length of the stock springs front and rear.Either from the 2.0l or 1.5

Did you get the answer to your question? If not I can dig out the old OEM springs and measure them?

[@hondanickx]

@@TheLemonFactor no haven't got a answer yet .If you could measure them it would help me a lot!

[@TheLemonFactor]

The OEM springs on my 2019 Honda Accord 2.0 Touring are ~12.75” front and ~11.75” rear.

[@hondanickx]

@@TheLemonFactor thanks !!

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thank you for avoiding any time WASTED on the Hybrid models😂🤣. Combustion engines RULE, and done need coal power to charge their batteries

[@shavalwatson8464]

The spring rate that you posted for the Megan racing lowering springs are incorrect.. I found out after purchasing them .. the rear springs are not progressive, and are too soft .. I’m gonna have to sell them and get me a set of d2 or Godspeeds.

[@TheLemonFactor]

I'm sorry to hear that. All data was double and triple checked at the time the video was created. However, Megan may have changed their spring rates based on early feedback over the past several years since this video was released.

[@TheLemonFactor]

What's your experience with any of these Honda Accord lowering springs? Has anyone installed aftermarket springs on a Honda Accord Touring with the adaptive suspension?

[@AntWrig]

I am running Eibach Sportline Springs on my 2018 Touring. The ride is damn good. That being said, I wish the car was lower. I have pictures of the drop on the Accord X forums. AntWrig is my name.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thanks for the feedback, and watch. Are you planning on getting a set of springs, if so, what set are you considering?

[@bobcard93]

I'm planning on going with the megan springs for my 2018 EXL. do I need a rear camber kit? also is there anything that I would need for the front?

[@TheLemonFactor]

As with any springs, the lowering of the ride height will necessitate an adjustment to your camber. Of course the lower you go, the more adjustment will be needed. I know some people have reported that with a conservative drop it doesn't put their camber too out of spec and opt not to adj. My recommendation for proper tire contact and wear would be to get a camber kit.

[@bobcard93]

@@TheLemonFactor thank you so much for the insight. very much appreciated!!!

[@bobcard93]

oh yea anything needed for the front??

[@five-bu6hs]

I have a eibach 1.8in drop all around and my toe up front is on point. You want to be as close to 0 as possible. the rear is about 0.08 which isn't anything crazy at all. I do have adjustable rear toe arms tho. No camber kit. My tires are fine Also my friend has been lowered on eibach springs for a little more than 2 years on his Camry and his shocks are fine. No issues

[@davidduran6616]

are D2 lowering springs good?

[@TheLemonFactor]

They wouldn’t be my first choice 🤷‍♂️

@@TheLemonFactor ahh okay sooo not a good idea to get

[@TheLemonFactor]

I’ve heard more positive reviews / feedback from the Eibach and H&R.

[@davidduran6616]

okay i see, I think D2 is more my range you think i would be okay with putting them on stock and getting an alignment and be okay or would i need to buy shocks to go with it or something ?

[@TheLemonFactor]

You’ll need to get a camber kit in order to be able to adjust your alignment back to OE spec.

[@nc2698]

So what would you recommend best for someone who wants to lower it a tad. Not to low, but noticeable for the 1.5, 2019?

Either the H&R O.E. or Sport, or the Eibach Pro-Kit.

I installed the Eibach springs on the Accord. Checkout the channel page for a ton of related videos 👍

[@captainjack6890]

Why not just upgrade to a bigger wheel and tire combo? 20 inch rims fit easily on this new Accord. Gonna have Toruń lower profile tires tho. I’m running 235/ 35 R 20 up front and 275/35 R 20 out back. Been perfect so far....and the gap is quite small now.

[@TheLemonFactor]

While that may help somewhat with the wheel gap, bigger tires won't help with nose dive (braking), squatting (acceleration), and quality of ride. A good combination of tires & suspension will transform a car (if done correctly), but of course that's all personal preference.

[@muzikmayne]

Captain Jack because that’s a lot more money playa
