What would you guys reccommend for a slight drop with a comfy ride? I rode in my friend's 03 Accord V6 on S-Tech w/ Koni Yellow SP3's and they were smooth. I dont want to slam my ride, just a light drop, 1.4" Front and 0.7" Rear maybe? The suspension for this car is something i have no clue about.

As for the qutoes...

First off Welcome welcome =]
Secondly
I have S Tech springs on my car with 18" wheels and actually, the rear tire was rubbing fender. The S Tech on our cars drops 1.7 inch in front and 1.4 in the rear. If youre looking for a milder drop you might want to try Tein H-Tech ( They have a softer ride and a less extreme drop ) or, if you can find a set some vogtland springs are good for a slight drop as well. But if you have the resources get some coilovers
and just dail in what kind of drop you want
:P
just as important for ride quality is the struts you use
I went with KYB GR-2 and i have to say GR-2 + s tech doesnt have the harsh bouncy ride i was expecting with a low drop. So I recommend GR-2 for near-stock ride quality.

Oh yeah, 1 more thing
The TRD Lip kit for our cars was previously hard to obtain but at current time there are 2 group buys selling this kit out for cheap. I recommend you jump in on one of them. My group buy is in ther aftermarket forum and the other group buy is in the for sale forum.

thanks you guys. So my boyfriend and I ended up buying another car. hahah now we got 3 cars, and Ima use the Solara as my daily driver wen im by myself. THe new car is going to be a family kinda car. It kinda sucks being 20 and 19 living on our own and having 3 cars.

2003 Accord Coupe EX V6 ( The Boyfriend's )
1999 Solara SLE V6 ( Mines =P )

1999 3.2L TL (Ours...)

I'll still be modding up the Solara, so no worries. But probably not as much as before since the TL is gonna be our main priority. My boyfriend is telling me we should mod that solara and sell it.

Hahah I uhh... Drive the solara still. Its not as responsive as the accord but hell its still luxury. I guess what got me back into my solara is what some random kid said that made me think twice. "Typical asians drive hondas".I like to be different.
