i wouldn't cut springs no matter what setup i had, just get some lowering springs

an ok website to look for parts is autoanything.com just put in your cars info and you should find a lot of parts.

"problems".....well, the springs aren't going to fall out. might get some rubbing if you go too low.


buut....same crappy spring rates, same crappy shocks/struts. just lower ride height.

nice, reminds me of my dad's old accord. you should put a supercharger or turbo in it, racing suspension, brakes... things that are discreet... then drive it on the streets and "kill people off the line" make it fast, but do it discreetly. or you could just drive it around with hte sleepy eye look

Hey man! Don't promote street racing! You don't want his car getting confiscated and crushed!

But out of all the cheap starter mods you could do, the sleepy-eye looks best!

Lowered and sleepy-eyed with no other performance or aesthetic mods = clean street cruiser!

If you could wire one pop up light, to go down at a flip of a switch, that would be sooo fun. Its -winking-. So, imagine after building it up some, taking a win, and then lettin the car -wink- at the other driver

Nice. I'm guessing that comes with the four wheel steering right?! I wouldn't mind driving a car with four wheel steering!

Apply some harder elbow grease when you washing it. Also it will look a little bit more appealing when wax is applied.

If you get some money saved up, get some simple things to it. A new battery, spark plugs, fuel filter, intake, wheels, some performance rubber, intake manifold and maybe a header. But if I were you, I wouldn't put too much money into and make it a turbo or juice it or anything. Yeah speed is alot and performance is a plus too, but unless you can find an area or a track where you can do some serious speeding and not hurt yourself or any one else. Then its not really worth it.
