Anyone ever lower an Accord

My friend has a 98 Accord and he asked if I would help him lower since he knew I lowered my civic. Anyway is it any different form our civic's,
are there any DIY's available? Any help would be greatly appreciated.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Yeah my friend got his lowered at the shop too. He got coilovers on stock shocks. Are lowered cars bound to have squeaky suspension? Because his car sqeaks very badly.

My buddie had a 98 oor 99 I dont remember, it was a coupe EX and we lowered his.
Its almost the same as civics. It'll take about 4-5 hours have good jacks in handy and jack stands. Take your time and invest in compressors.

My bro has a 2000 accord ex v6 coupe. He lowered his car w/ the Apex-I full coilover system. Its a little different for the accord because they all have double wishbone suspension and the front tower perch doesn't need to be cut for the coilovers. I hope this helps. BTW Apex- I is only a height adjustable system the dampening is single setting.

My girl has a 2001 accord sedan. They have the same susupension setup. We put in Weapon-R circuit pro coilovers. They ride soft with the stock shocks. Its easier to lower than our cars. Double wishbone in the front and 5 control arms in the rear. Just remember to remove the shock assembly then work on the car. You can pop the top nut off if you want. Just make sure you will be able find it afterwards. Its not that hard, it all depends on the the spring compressor you use.
