3rd Generation Which coilover goes lower?

Which coilover for the gen 3 can go the lowest? Most features and most adjustable? I want to hear opinions from people who OWN them or have had a set. I will be ordering a set soon but I don't know which ones I want yet. I want to go for a hellaflush set up so negative camber is a must...

Brands i know of
-BC
-K-Sport
-d2

TA DAA!!!


well first off...where did ya find teh BCs, I just discovered them recently while searching for my accord.

in any case. The BCs have a good reputation with the accord people. they are above ksport and D2 but under Tein. I know of no one who has the BCs, your the first person ive ever seen mention them before, so how low...not sure. but i'm sure a call or email to them will answer that.

Ksport and D2 are practically the same thing. same company. they both have a low drop...lower then you can drive on. so thats not an issue. The issue is with their quality, they offer awesome features for a bargin C/O. Pillow ball, camber plates, shock and ridehight adjustment...everything you need. with either brand you can have all of this for under $1K. but i will warn ya, the quality of D2 and k-sport (kontrol pros) is not the best. the ride is harsh and not easily soffened unless you get lower spring rates...which screws up the valving. personally, id chance it with the BCs or get the next grade up of K-sports, GT-pros...i think.

to be fair, my k-sports were used, but even having being recently rebuilt...they had issues.

Im running BC's on my gen3 and i can tuck the front and rear. I raised it up a little though cause it was slightly impractical for daily driving The rears i reckon you could drop them almost so the frame sits on the ground haha. good coilover.

Ksports go extremely low like Big said. But a coilover with a larger piston (ie BC) will last longer. Megan Racing is a decent choice as well if you want to spend less, just make sure to ask for shorter front springs. Don't get TIENs if you want dumpt...

Little bit of misinformation there buddy. Teins are great coilovers and you can go lower then you would need to be with them. My flexes are no where near maxed and my frame rails are barely off the ground. They have a fully threaded shock-tube. Only thing I see negative with them is they are a bit pricey compared to other brands but you can find used sets for fair prices.
