I owned 20 BMW and upgraded springs with sport shocks . Never had an issue with the shocks bottoming out. Improvement is absolutely huge. I'm thinking should upgrade the accord shocks and springs. Problems koni n bilstein don't make
Hi there thanks for the video I own a mazda mx5 RF 2022 and I really wanna fill the gap between fenders and wheels and I'm so confused to how to fill the gap I'm just like using the car for daily use going to work home etc... not racing tracks at all Wanna go with lower springs but worried about shock get ruined and tires rubs faster than original springs because this what I heard about lowering the car Could you help me find out best solution
I would consider lowering springs (only) because your car is still rather new. No need to replace shocks unless you want to spend more $$. That's assuming you don't have electronic damper shocks (I don't know the details for a 22 Miata.) Yes, it most likely will wear out the tires and shocks faster, but that's the price one pay for lowering springs, or appearance modifications. IMO, Miata is already a balanced car engineered from the factory. Some call the handling "magical." I would think lowering springs may change the characterize of the car.
Another year along, how have you felt the ride quality? Still comfortable? We have a Hyundai Kona Electric, and Eibach makes a Pro Kit for us now. We have 7k miles on it so the stock hardware is quite fresh. We don't drive it alot.....but the roads here are bad. That said, if we had to replace the struts at 60k vs. 100k that's a fair tradeoff considering I do most of our work. Would you do it again?
Yes, would recommend Pro Kit springs and do it again. Ride still the same. No issues. Stock shocks still work well. No leaks or weakness. 35k miles now.
@@andrewwang3900 wtf 56k a lot? my Volvo v70 has 220k miles and thats nothing and I am looking for lowering springs and there is nothing wrong with the shocks.
hello, did they get even more low after they got settled or did they stayed at the specification height.. i got mine installed jesterday and i wonder if they are gonna drop more
No change so far from when I took measurements a week or so after. I can’t recall now. Basically 3+ years and 30k+ miles it’s still the same as the last measurement, in my first video.
Question with pro kit and 75K miles obviously it’s time to change struts. Would u suggest Honda OE Struts to pair with Eibach Pro Kit or another company struts?
Not that I think the OEM shocks are bad, I would try something else. I like Tokico (blues) with lowering springs such as Pro Kit or something similar. Was happy with this combo in the past. It's not expensive, and does the job with daily driving around town.
I did not get spacers because I didn't think it was needed. The 19" wheels are pretty big, wide, and heavy that I didn't want to add any more unsprung weight. Plus, I don't trust spacers on a daily driver.
I did not measure after installation because I knew it would settle a bit. But the measurements stayed the same from 4 weeks after installation till now.
I am using eaibach pro kit on my 2009 Lancer and it settled by milimiteres, well in my case I changed springs and struts, so nothing to worry about and I am driving on this setup also daily for more than one year. But from my perspective, the car is now much more enjoyable than before.
I’m at 60k miles on stock struts and Am planning on buying these eibach lowering springs. Should i go on and buy new struts or do you think they will last on for a little longer?
The most I've carried in the backseat are two kids about 100 lbs each. No rub or bottoming out. I don't know how it would be if have two 200 lbs adults in the backseat. I also have a minivan, so I don't use the Accord to carry many passengers. So it's just the driver +1 95% of the time.
@@andrewwang3900 I'm running a set of 20s and I'm sitting at stock height I ordered the the springs as well as camber kit I was wanting to know what you think a reduction of 1.8 in the front in back would do
Might be close with rubbing. Would depend on the profile of the tires. I would watch that carefully, or drive carefully until you are sure. May have some rubbing situations, and you’ll have to decide if you can live with it.
I have a Honda Accord 2017 I lowered it and I have adjustable camber arms in the back and I got it alined but I they told me I can’t aline the front is there anything u found that can alone the front? I have camber in the front but I don’t want to be camber
I don't know much about doing an actual alignment, other than finding the right person to do it. Looking at the results, look like they can only adjust the toe angle.
Too many people believe that lowering springs can't go with stock struts. As long as they are still healthy it's mostly fine
This guy's eye-contact is crazy. So chill and well spoken. Great vid.
I had the pro kit installed with stock everything for 10 years with 140k on an Altima coupe. Looked amazing and never had any issues.
Thank you for the car stills at the end. Exactly what I was looking for. Actual visuals from people who have actually put their Accord on springs.
this video is what i really want to see, eibach I am coming
Increase playback to 1.75x speed and it is great to watch. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I have to talk slow to avoid all the filler words.
LMAO! Actually 1.25 playback speed is perfect!
Great video, and beautiful Accord!
Thanks.
I got my car for 8months and almost 8k miles on it. I got the eibach pro already and haven't decided to install it yet... nice video! Thx
Hey man. Have you installed yet? if you ever decide to not do it then i would gladly buy them off of you.
Thanks for the update. Much appreciated...

I really appreciated this video. Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks for this information.
If your tires last 4-5 years you’re doing great.
Very informative, thank you sir!
Thanks for updating us
Perfect drop.
Wow 10k miles a year that's what I do in 2 months
That's a lot of miles..
Right!
TLC DRIVER IN NYC 😅😅

Amazing informative video
thank you

Like camber bolts or anything like that because I can’t find anything for it

My 2016 Accord sport has 56k miles but shock s feel fine should I still do pro-kit or I’ll need new shocks also ?
I would replace the shocks, pro kit or not, just because 56k miles is lot of miles.
Just slam the fuck out of it.
@@andrewwang3900 wtf 56k a lot? my Volvo v70 has 220k miles and thats nothing and I am looking for lowering springs and there is nothing wrong with the shocks.
That’s great your shocks are lasting 220k miles.

I did not get spacers because I didn't think it was needed. The 19" wheels are pretty big, wide, and heavy that I didn't want to add any more unsprung weight. Plus, I don't trust spacers on a daily driver.
Are they good for 20 inch wheels?
Did you notice if the springs settled front and back of how much compared to when installed any info would be great thanks

@@andrewwang3900 okay thank you

I would replace the shocks. 60k miles is kind of a lot. Unless you don’t mind the installation process and cost of wheel alignment, again.
@@andrewwang3900 yea i went on and bought new shocks and all that. I’m excited can’t wait til they all come in! Thank you for replying take care🙏🏾
I will ask the 6th question how does it ride when you have people in the car and does it Rub?
The most I've carried in the backseat are two kids about 100 lbs each. No rub or bottoming out. I don't know how it would be if have two 200 lbs adults in the backseat. I also have a minivan, so I don't use the Accord to carry many passengers. So it's just the driver +1 95% of the time.
@@andrewwang3900 well i do have another car and yeah mostly i drive alone that car just my wife and my baby on weekends
Why do you have different toe angles
You mean the rear toe between the left and right? Looking at the report, both are green, so that's within spec I suppose.
What eibach pro do you installed? 1.5” F and 1.5 rear?
1.0 Front and 0.7 Rear. Pro Kit 2017 Accord I4.
