I was woundering if lowering springs could be installed correctly because i thought the neuspeed racing springs would give me a larger drop and i really dont trust the people that installed them also if i cut the bumpstops in half will that give me any more drop of just a bettr ride!!!!!!

A neuspeed race set-up will drop your front about 2.25 inches and the rear will be around 2.0 inches. The car will set in (or get a little lower) in about a week. The front tires should be tucked in and the rear should be very close to tucking under. As far as the bumpstops..... im not sure. I think it has something to due with performance so it would be wise to cut them like neuspeed suggests. Hope this helps.

Yes anything can be installed incorrectly if one tries hard enough.
What exactly is it that you think is wrong?
As for the bumpstops the reason you need to cut them on some applications is because the car sits so much lower than it did originally that you will begin to come in constant contact with the bumpstops creating a much harsher ride.

Well i have a friend that has a 97 with these springs on his ride and says it lowered his car a ton i have never seen car to see how really low the car is. Also this is the lowest drop that is possible with springs and it just does not look like its that much with the accord. I thought it was the wheels size when i had 15s but i just put 17s on and it still does not put the wheels in the wheel well that much!!!!!!

why do you want to go so low? TRUST ME you dont want to be to low I just banged the hell out of my new header and I still feel like itll never be the same Im actually getting rid of my springs now and installing some H&R sport springs to raise it up again those are only a 1.5 inch drop so I wont continue to fuck up my under carage. just something to think about

not every car is the same can you drop 2 inch without getting a 4-1 to hit bottom?

2 drop is what I did on my Integra with Neuspeed Sport springs....its even front and back....and whoever said you want the front to tuck.....why the hell would you want that....I guess thats fine if you like rubbing the fuck out of the inside and edge of your fender...but for those of us that dont enjoy that....with 17s....2s is perfect on an Integra....no tucking but no wheel gap...on mine I can just barely get my index finger in the gap thats left....I never rub in the back and very rarely on the front....so try not to make your wheels tuck...it rubs bad and looks worse. As for the bumpstops...just do what they tell you to do with them....mine were all deteriorated and like half the size they normally are so I just let them be...and my ride is just fine.
