    yes, but you will have to find the correct set of springs to lower your Accord. But if you can't find a set that will lower your car to the desired results, the typical result is the rear hanging too low as compared to the front. A solution is to install "lifters" or spacers at the rear springs to lift it up 1/2 to 1 inch.

    eibach gives good ride quality.

    my worry is baka mag rub ung fender sa tire pag maraming sakay?
    thats a possibility if your tires are too wide. If the rubbing is minor, you can have your fender lip "rolled" to give you a few millimeters clearance. Alternative is to use a different offset wheels (if you haven't bought your wheels yet).

    anothing thing is, hindi ba masisira ung ride pag may lifter?
    nope... I have lifters in the rear of my ride installed years ago. Only downside is you need to check if the rubber lifter hasn't cracked off after years of use & abuse on the road.

    or is it possible wag nalang install ung lowering springs sa likod?
    Yes you can BUT the car's handling WILL be affected in a negative way. Its because the rear suspension will be softer than the front.

    is there any feedback on the maintenance of these lowering springs? would it last years? or do you have to change it or something like that?

    depende sa quality ng spring na binili mo. may mga brands na super bilis mag sag

    H&R and other well known brands eh matibay and kung mag settle man eh kaunti lang.

    yes they last for a long time and you dont need to change anything. 5 years cguro pwede mo na palitan kung sawa ka na.

    as for my case yun altis ko dati lowered ng two years with H&R. very good naman. nothing changed from stance to the ride. the springs stayed the same

    lowering springs should last the life of the car.

    hindi naman prerequisite na pag bumili ka ng mags, kelangan nakalower na yung kotse mo.

    and no, you cant buy lowering springs by 2s. they're only sold in sets of 4.

    Mga sir

    follow up question lang po....since palitin na rin yung shocks ko, maganda bang i pair ang KYB shocks with Tanabe springs, gusto ko kasi kung bababa yung oto almost same pa rin yung ride nya.... any feedback dun sa naka ganito na set up, saka yung 1.5" drop ba kita na yung bagsak nya, ayoko din naman ng masyadong mabababa, by the way my car is a 99 Corolla

    Salamat!

    God Bless!!
