Qman Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Front Honda springs to the rear Subaru coil-overs. Which years and model were used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 86-89 Accord. LXi is the stiffest, DX and LX are softer. I'd recommend the DX or LX springs as the LXi ones I used made for a VERY stiff suspension- would almost slam the wheel back to the ground after certain bumps. The way to tell the difference is that the LXi was the only fuel injected model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Was there any difference in height, ie, how much lift did they actually cause? Stiff is good for what I am looking to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I estimate about 2.5" of lift. Looked beefy, and pumped up in the back. I could run 27" tires on pugs with 3 transmissions and 8 wheels in the trunk with no rubbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Perfect, thanks for the quick response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Snowman also did the mod. I'm guessing he got 2 to 2 1/2 inches of lift from them. really gave it the cheese wedge look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 As mentioned, I put springs from an 89 Honda Accord on. I specified A/C and auto tranny when I ordered them, since those both add weight and would require stiffer springs. I would guess it raised it about 2" from where it sat before my stock springs got horribly worn out. I would highly recommend putting RX springs in the front. Before I added those, it was raked forward quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Thanks for the responses. There won't be any issue in the front. I may have to shorten the front to match the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subieman Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I did that mod also. One of the most useful mods I have done. I would load up 800lbs+ in the back with out hitting the stops. Here is my ex loyale next to the hatchback.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it wouldn't be any fun to keep secrets if there weren't guys like me trying to figure them out! I hope it'll be at the show this summer, whatever it is.
