FML - Lowering The Sweet Minivan!! The Honda Odyssey Is Getting Some Gap Closure!

[@Jiiimmie]

A tip for you in the future with swaybar issues like that, take a vicegrip (?) the one that locks itself in place. Behind the nut on the rubber part. If done correctly you can lock the bolt and screw it off, however you need to replace it after since the vicegrip can damage the rubber and hence rust can form inside it.

Im really begining to love these honda vans after I seen how well u can fix them up and still have plenty of room for road traveling

"Don't care, I got rust, don't matter." A mantra for the ages, my friend! Amen!

[@financialmistakesliving]

Its about to have more. 😉

No H&R didn’t label the spring wrong. You have them upside down. The larger coil that’s mostly flat is supposed to be seated in the spring perch. When you had the two springs side-by-side they were upside down. Also, I’ve installed many sets of H&R’s and have never seen a set mislabeled. Not saying it couldn’t happen, but in your case it didn’t. Those springs seem very close in coil diameter so it shouldn’t be a problem, but if you left them the way you installed them they’re upside down.

[@financialmistakesliving]

I looked at them for awhile and matched up the ends on them. I will have to double check when I install new struts in the spring. Thanks for the info

[@mikermilla]

Financial Mistakes Living... I remember you saying the springs you replaced looked newer, as if the PO may have replaced them. It very well could’ve been that the PO put the replacement springs in upside down. Like I said, either way you’re OK. Those were pretty symmetrical coils, and especially if you haven’t had any issues at this point.

do you have a link for the parts?

I put lowering spring on my 2016 ody, and to be honest im going back to oem springs, it feel sooooooo bouncy…. And i feel everything on the road….

[@financialmistakesliving]

What springs did you use? Maybe the suspension dynamics are different on the next generation. I'm still driving on mine and still enjoy driving

Im modifying my 2014 Odyssey as well. What size of tires and rims did you go with?

[@financialmistakesliving]

The fronts are 245/40 20. And the rears are 275/35 20. I can get you the offset when I redo the front end in the near future. Also they may not fit the same on your generation.

[@Jindua1]

@@financialmistakesliving thank you fo the information. I just purchased the H&R springs for 470.00 CDN and looking for tyres and wheels. I decided to go with the 245/45R20 on all four. I might make the rears 245/50R20 to close in on the wheel gap

[@kjcl90]

Hey, how's your experience with them? Ride, comfort, handling, etc?

[@financialmistakesliving]

The ride is good. Not bouncy. Basically like stock. Handling is way better. Much more planted on the interstate. I dont have any regrets other than wishing the front was another half inch lower. But still recommend.

[@kjcl90]

@@financialmistakesliving awesome! Were you able to fix the vibration?

[@financialmistakesliving]

It still has a slight vibration at low speed acceleration. Ive been procrastinating on installing front camber bolts. Which Im hoping will help

[@puppygadget3189]

Did you spray some lube on the bolt before it broke or did you just try to loosen it without any lube?

[@financialmistakesliving]

I didnt pre soak anything. Next time I will

[@paulgriffiths2095]

What year was the Honda Odyssey van you lowered.

[@financialmistakesliving]

A 2007

[@allautollc1]

Do you have any vibration during acceleration caused from changing spring as i hear that is one of the side affects.

[@financialmistakesliving]

Actually yes I do. Its not very noticeable. I always assumed it was because of my camber up front. I just got camber bolts that need to be installed.

[@allautollc1]

@@financialmistakesliving When I put 20's on I has a horrible vibration at 70mph found out hub bore is 63.1mm my rims hub bore was 74.1mm I put some hub centric rings on about 90%of the vibration was fixed . Maybe try that if you don't have any hub centric rings on it yet .

[@financialmistakesliving]

@@allautollc1 I only have that slight vibration at acceleration. Cruising in the city or interstate is smooth
