can I ask why you want to lower it!

I'm wondering the same thing FP. Its not like a Rafaga has any sort of sporting pedigree. OP, buy your springs new if you must lower your car. That way you have no issues with spring sag or any unknown damage.

To be honest I just dont understand the whole lowering cars thing. IT does my head in when I see a car I really want and then I read in the add that its been lowered. Puts me off it straight away. I could understand if some one was going to use it on a track then fair enough.
And especially utes, why the hell would any one want to lower a ute! To my mind, its just a good way to screw up perfectly good suspension.
Hey each to their own I guess but as I said. I admit, I just dont get it.

Just let the tyres down. same effect no cost. Pump them up again before you use the car. please send $5 for the tip.

I have to laugh at Mercs and BMWs dragging their bumpers down the road while chewing the inside inch off their rear tyres all because their owners know far more about suspension technology that the respective manufacturers. I mean, the owners have spent at least $500 on springs! Its not like the manufacturers haven't spent millions in development.

good quality adjustable suspension will improve handling though.

It's for cosmetic purposes only 90% of the time. I have lowered several cars and all with the exception of one was just for looks. You could argue its just as pointless to paint a car unless the paintwork is stuffed but plenty of people do. As for your Honda. It's a Honda, it should not be modified. Period.

You might be able to just cut a coil or two off and still be captive and legal.

Edited to say look up CD Accord or Ascot as they use the same spring, although i'd say you'd be hard pressed finding 2nd hand items

Had a lead head tell me he had cut the springs on his BMW (virtually zero travel left) because it handled better and looked "gangsta". Sorry mate but a $70,000 car with a $50,000 paint job, $10,000 wheels, $20,000 Eibach/Bilstien suspension, $5000 brakes, $20,000 interior job and other custom mods is gansta. Your $3000 BMW with $2000 wheels, cut springs, tinted tail lights, dings and scratches looks gayster. As for handling better, bouncing down the road on the bumpstops is not handling better.

weedude if you car has excessive body role I think you will find you already have issues with your suspension.why not resolve the issues you already have before creating more.

Sounds strange!wonder if the previous owner has put the wrong springs and or shockys in it some how! I cant help but wonder then if putting a good set of standard springs andshocks back in to your car would solve your problem.
That might also explain help to explain excessive body role.

No it's not. It's called 'losing'.
