- Lowered the Accord the other day. I used H&R sport springs. It is now 1.2" lower front and rear. I'm very happy with the results. I listed the part # below for anyone who is interested in buying a set. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this. Loving the 360 camera work, you showed a lot of good angles, and really proved "You need a camber kit if you lower a honda" talk is nonsense.
Bro! I love your lowered springs it makes the car a bit complete. I was never a fan of stock height hahaha.
I have the same make, model, and color. All of your mods you have now is what is on my list of things to get for my 2018 Accord. Great video!
Thank you! That really means a lot! It makes doing all this worth while!
I was back and forth on Eibachs and H & R's but after hearing this review I'm sold on this. I wish all Honda Accords came like this out the factory str8 off the lot. Will be purchasing these once my car comes out the body auto body shop in a couple of weeks. When I bought my honda the driving is super smooth but after hearing how it handles alot better and in the corners I was highly impressed to hear this hence I have factory touring tires on these. Looking fwd to buying these. Great Video
Can't lie, man... you Just sold me on these. I was among BC racing coils, Megan Race Springs, and your H&R's... much thanks for the upload, Brother!💥🙌🏾💥
Glad I could help!
Looks so clean👌🏼
Thank you!
You’re video literally sold me on these. Just got them installed today love the look and feel immediately. I went 1.2 drop on all four corners with the sport spring.
Awesome. Im happy with mine as well. If your keeping stock wheels, I would definitely do spacers. Check out my other videos on that. It really finishes the look.
@@DanVilla7 I have the EX-L 2.0t so I'm actually gonna get 19 inch black rims with spacers too. Also blacked out all the chrome with white pearl paint looks mean! Borla exhaust makes it sound mean too! and stage 2 hondata makes it go mean as hell too! hahaha
@@DanVilla7 I'm thinking about getting these for my 2014 accord sedan (on F1R F21 wheels) will it make a big difference in how it looks at let's say a car meet?
@@SlimDaFox absolutely it's a 1.2" difference. Basically closes all the wheel gap in the front and a little gap in the rear. But you have a 2014 so the drop maybe slightly different
What drop did u put on there?? I have a 2021 sport 1.5
looks good 👍 and you did it right lowered first. now you can see exactly what kind of spacer to order to bring the wheels out. versus ordering the springs and spacers and taking what you get . thanks for the video.
I order one cuz of your review so good
I second H&R springs; I installed them on my Audi and they are perfect. Not too low with just enough travel to not rub. For a top tier manufacture with the aesthetics to made a people pleasing ride, these springs are a very cheap modification considering.
I took your word for it, bought those springs and dropped it off today... mine is modern steel (grey) '19 2.0L sport 💥✊🏾💥
Nice let me know what you think when it's done. Give them about a week to fully settle. I've since did 20mm spacers looks awesome.
@@DanVilla7 I know, I love that you did that longer video from all angles. You know when comparing it's so hard to find all the angles without being able to see in person, your video was the closest to it. I had the exact same H&R spacers in my cart, but held off bc I am still considering different rims. OEM looks good on white, I'm not a fan of them on my grey so we'll see...I'll ovo it back up Saturday💥🙌🏾🇯🇵🇺🇸💥
@@BobbyDigital_100 Did you install these already? i have a modern steel as well just wanted to see how it looks?
@@bj10jgo yeah I did. Looks awesome too. Otherwise externally it's stock. There's a picture on my insta @Bobby_Digital222
Cleannnn😎 defiantly ordering the springs
Thanks! You won't be disappointed.
Did it void warranty from dealer by adding the springs?
If they can prove it caused the problem at hand yes, otherwise they just look away.
I have the same car but 2021…I will do the H&R but when the stock get damaged. 😅 I recommend you to buy the Ultra Racing front strut bar…super nice !! Improve the ride quality when you turn and match with the white.
Looks amazing dude!
Thanks! Added spacers since then, and really set it off. Check that video out.
Dan Villa oh I did! That’s what I’m trying to do to my ‘19 2.0. Saw that you had to cut the factory lugs tho... not sure how I feel about that. No other way around this huh?
@@carmine.pirulli unfortunately not. I almost decided against it myself. Glad I went through with it, looks amazing.
Dan Villa so the cons of cutting them would be what... can’t put the stock set up back?
@@carmine.pirulli yes but I did find that you can get deep set lugs to make up for the lost threads if you wanted to go back without replacing the bolts themselves
Looks great
Nice clean car! 👍🏾
Great review. Great video. So after install , do u recommend on getting it realigned?
Absolutely. Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the video man. I just ordered one for my 1.5T can't wait to put it on. Right now I'm having 20" wheel do you think it's recommended to have alignment? 🤔
No problem. Absolutely do an alignment... If you don't want any negative camber you will need a camber kit for the rear. I didn't use one because its not too bad.
Dan Villa thanks bro. Negative camber look nice somehow but this is my daily drive I just don't want the uneven wear on the tire. I'll put it in first to see how bad is negative camber come then decide with kit later.
Anyway enjoy your ride bro 👍🔥
@@andrewhoangnguyen1579ive put around 6-7k miles on it so far and have not noticed any extra wear as of yet. As long as you have them take all the negative camber out that they possibly can , you'll be alright. I daily mine as well.
Please, change to coil- overs . Drop that baby........ Nice accord & good luck bro!✌️
Thanks. Its my daily and put my kids in it all the time. NY roads would take its toll quickly especially in the winter time. These ride great btw
👍🇵🇦🙏
Dude! You made me regret getting my 19 Lunar Silver Metallic Accord Sport 2.0T 6MT. Beautiful color. Perfect drop.
What size spacer are you looking to get? 15mm? 20mm?
Haha...thanks for the kind words! I'm leaning towards 20mm if I do get them.
Nice ride, I got a black one 2.0 and was wondering How much drop did it do? Meaning I know the springs are 1.2” but did you use a tape measure from ground to fender? I ask because on the eibach .8” they go 1” to 1.15”, so wondering if these 1.2” will go 1.5 or 1.75 ?
I haven't, I will try measure once the snow goes away
Great video ! Could you measure your stock front spring length ?
Looks great! Did you swap out the shocks too later on? Some people were experiencing bouncy rides - is it because the stock shocks can’t handle the after market springs?
I'm still on the same set up stock shocks
Looks really nice! Did you do the springs replacement by yourself?
I was tempted to but didn't have a free weekend to do it. So had my local shop take care of it for me.
@@DanVilla7 How much was the labor and how long did it take to install?
@@luketv4457 Cost me $280 with alignment and only took 2 hours.
@@DanVilla7 Awesome. Thank you so much!
Great video. Want to get this but I am concerned about the negative camber. Is it very noticeable? I never liked that look when the wheels are at an angle, I think it looks goofy. Also, did the ride quality go down after a while when they settled? Thanks
The negative camber is noticeable if your actually looking for it. The ride quality is really good for a lowered car.
Good video. I think it was a bit too long talking maybe edit it a bit with the talking as your doing the walk around. Would be sweet to see a performance handling before and after test. That would be a huge hit on youtube. I liked and subscribed us low subscriber folks gotta help each other out. Keep em coming and don't give up.
Thank you! I really appreciate the input as well. I'm trying to strike the right balance with my videos. As time goes on they will get better.
New subscriber here love your vid I have the same Accord as you I wanted to lower my car also do you need a camber kit when you lower your car? Thanks
Thanks! If you want your alignment to be spot on yes. I did not use one and there is a little negative camber in the rear. I haven't noticed any excess tire wear as of yet over 6k miles later.
@@DanVilla7 Thanks 👍 and please upload more mods on the Accord :D
@@teamhonzilla No problem! Working with tuners on my tune, so will be following up with that in the next couple of days
How’s it holding up 1 yr later? Also, did the bumpstocks have to be trimmed when installed?
It's been over a year and a half and everything holding up well, no issues. The bump stops did not have to be trimmed with this kit
Are the rear aftermarket sway bar really necessary?
Nice looking ride bro, whats your window tint percentage, thanks
Thanks! 3M premium 25%
@@DanVilla7 Thanks alot!
@@DanVilla7 Do you think adding the side molding to this car takes away the beauty of the car?
@@tonyquaz6382 I personally don't like them. I feel it cheapens the look a bit. I like a nice clean not over done look.
@@DanVilla7 You just hit the nail on this one big time. Thanks so much for your take. I'm looking at getting a 2.0 Touring and I noticed at the dealership they already have it pre installed.. I just don't like it at all. Once I get mine, I will remove it asap.lol. Your looks really clean. A show stopper I bet. I just sub to your channel bro!
Hows it going bro love the channel. I just got a '21 accord I want to lower it any problems with h&r springs so far? I'm asking cuz I had problems with them on my '14 accord sport the ride and handling was good but when I turn the steering wheel it made noise and back springs rubbed with people in the back.
Im good thanks! No issues with the springs at all. I've had H&R's on 2 other cars with the same result. Surprised to hear you had issues, possibly an installation error. For the car the rear springs get installed with the writing upside down.
I guess I'm going to try them on this car.
And did you do the rear chamber?
Never bother to get a kit since the drop isn't that low. You will get some additional camber wear in the rear but nothing too crazy
I have had the same springs in my 21 Accord Sport 2.0 for about 4-5 months and I have been getting a little bit of noise from the rear. Do you happen to remember which direction you installed your rear springs? According to H&R if the top and bottom are the same then where the coils are closer goes up (which would be upside down from the text on the spring). I know Eibach states their text always goes right side up but that doesn't seem to be the case for H&R. Is the text on your rear springs right side up? Thanks in advance.
It's upside down, was able to tell from a video of mine start at @0:37 and pause
th-cam.com/video/V05Zv8GtSrQ/w-d-xo.html
@@DanVilla7 Thanks. Thats good to know but sucks I have to pull that shit apart again to fix it. That would explain the noise I have been hearing. Much appreciated.
Song in video? Thanks! Going to be running those springs soon
Write_you-2 can be found on TH-cams free music section
im surprised this is the 1.2 springs, seems like it didnt go that low, i was leaning towards the other hr springs that go less
What are pros and cons on lowering it and the spacers ?
Hey Dan, so on these h&rs have you ever bottomed out or hit bump stops in the front? Because I just recently installed and uninstalled Eibach sportlines because of this. The rear is fine but the fronts were bottoming out way to easily.
I have, like 2x but the bumps were pretty serious. May have even happened with stock springs. These are pretty solid you'll be happy.
@@DanVilla7 thanks bro
What kind of Camber kit you running?
I'm not running one. No signs of excess wear as of yet.
Was the rear camber off when you did the alignment or did you do the camber kit as well?
I didn't use a camber kit. There is some negative camber but not too bad. Its been roughly 4-5k miles since install and rear tires aren't showing any signs of excess wear as of yet.
I was thinking about doing the eibach springs with a 0.8 drop all around but after seeing this idk if I want the eibach or these! This looks really good! Do you get any kind of strange noises or bad ride quality?
@@romanvenegas8464 Thanks I love the look as well. These are a 1.2" drop so will be a more noticeable difference in ride height from stock. Funny you ask about noises. Another person asked me the same question. If your getting noises after doing springs then they weren't done correctly or parts weren't torqued back properly. So to answer your question 0 noises or issues. The car rides great!
Bought the same springs. Do you know if the bump stops were cut when you got the springs installed?
No need to cut them. But just to verify there's an orange sheet in the box with the part #'s saying which ones need to be cut.
Thank you!
@@ceexlo you got it!
What’s difference between springs and coil overs ??
How is it when going out driveway on front end
It's good hardly ever scrapes
I plan to do this same setup but would prefer the wheels to be flush with the fenders. Any idea what size spacers would be needed to make it flush?
Yes 20mm spacers will do! I already have done them here's a video of how it looks. Everything done to my car is on the channel.

@@DanVilla7 thank you so much! I just watched. Your car looks beautiful. Keep up the great work bro.
You're welcome, and thanks!
I think he already has the spacers. Im not clear if they're on both the front and rear.
how much is the drop man? and the car looks great!!
You didn't watch the video lol its in there. They were $227
I think he meant the specs, LoL!
@Chinese080808 1.2" front and rear. It's the video and description.
@@DanVilla7 I know! 😉👍
Did you installed the camber kits?
No. Still haven't done it. All I did since then was spacers to finish the look.
Ok awesome
Hello Dan This HR Lower Spring fit a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T ?
Also how much is the drop Front and Rear ??
They will fit. On the 2.0t it's 1.2" front and rear. I remember seeing the front will sit higher on the 1.5t due to the weight difference of the motor. It's .1 or .2 less of a drop
Hey Dan did it need an alignment after ?
Absolutely, should always do one when changing suspension components
Hey Dan, how is noise dive under braking and nose lift under accel with springs?
Seems fine to me
@@DanVilla7 i mean did it improve after springs? I can imagine they are stiffer spring rate than stock
@@boostedveedub9687 they have a progressive spring rate which will give an oem like ride . So i can't say I've noticed much of difference in that area
Did you add rear camber kit?
I didn't
@@DanVilla7 I just picked up a set for my 2022 2.0 Accord. Will be installing next week. Thanks a lot for the video and feedback.
Did you have to get a camber kit for it since you lowered it
I did not get one although it's recommended. My Negative camber is minimal. Over 6k miles and no signs of excess tire wear.
@@DanVilla7 did your tire pressure light come on?
@@five-bu6hs Nope. The suspension doesn't have any effect on the TPMS
You probably got a camber kit along with that, correct?
No camber kit
Hey , I just lowered my car with same springs and I get a slight vibration when acceleration 10-25 mph . Do you experience this as well?
Absolutely not, has to be some kind of an installation error like improper torque spec on the bolts. I've been running mine for over 11k miles with zero issues
Did you figure out what happened with you vibration issue?
@@damacknificent151 most likely he didn’t get an alignment done after installing or improper installation and torque specs like told on previous comment.
@@alexisserrano5158 alignment won’t cause a slight vibration under load only . It was properly installed
@@damacknificent151 nope still there , swapped oem spring and it goes away. Re installed aftermarket springs , vibration re appears . My theory it has something to do with the cv angle when lowered
did these have to settle a bit to get that low? i just picked up and installed these on my 19 1.5t sport and my drop isn't as low as yours.
They do take a couple of weeks to settle. This video was taken the day after they were installed. I do believe the 1.5t won't be as low due to the difference in weight of the motor. But only like .1" difference between the two.
Do you notice any spring noise? I installed some H&R's on my 2018 TLX and they creak and pop A LOT.
Nope zero still running them. That usually happens if the torque spec is off or on this car the rears get installed upside down
@@DanVilla7 it’s coming from the front. I’m going to get them checked again.
did you have to cut the bump stop for the rear..... i have the springs and after the swap im hearing knocking sound in the rear
No this part# doesn't require it. Its on that orange paper that comes with the springs. From my past experience a noise like that is from being loose or improper tq spec. I'd try to go over everything and make sure nothing is loose.
appreciate for the quick responsed.... im gonna recheck and re torq everything.... by the way i went h&r coz you did such a good review.... pls post more vid of the accord!!!! thank you
Thanks! I will be posting more soon just deciding what to do next. Let me know if that was your problem when you get it sorted.
It's not much difference if I was you I would go with the coils a lot better if you go only with spring you going to have issues I had that before and I regret it but anywho it looks really good.
Thanks . The car has settled some from that video also added spacers changed the whole look. I have run H&R sport springs in 2 other cars never had any negative effects or regrets. Heres a vid on how it came out.
th-cam.com/video/1HxY08srwaM/w-d-xo.html
@@DanVilla7 it looks really good but I will go with coilovers ypu can drop it more lower a lot better but everyone's different but yeah it looks okay I like it
@@henryaccordsport yeah to each his own. It's my family car have 2 little ones and daily it, I can't go that low. Plus the lower you go just sacrifices ride quality.
@@DanVilla7 true bro 🤙
Q? The spring on the 2019 will fit n work on a 2021 accord sports. N how low front n back .. can u let me know bro
They should be the same. The drop is 1.2" F&R
Thanks bro for helping me . Ur car look sexy this model r hot .
Also did u hav to putt a camber kit or doesn’t need it
@@juniorreillo264 I didn't get one but you will get a little inner tire wear. Its not terrible. If I were lower then it would be necessary.
I know this is a couple years old but how is it during winter and snow ?
The stock Goodyears were ok not so great.
@@DanVilla7 ha ha. No I meant with the lower ride :). I’m worried about turning my car into an even lower snow plow lol
@@johnsnow5167 i usually drive our truck when the snow is bad, but will be a plow either way the car stock sits fairly low
@@DanVilla7 true enough! Thanks for the replies! It’ll be a fun winter lol. I’ve always had jeeps or trucks so…. Fingers crossed ha ha. I’m in southern Ontario so probably a little worse than jersey
Does the drop even out the car?
If your talking about front to rear no. It hss a raked stance, sits lower in the front
What lip do u have?
I actually got it from ebay. The person I got it from doesn't have it anymore but lots of sellers on there have the same thing. Here's a link of the same type I have. Lost of other choices there as well.

Can you make it lower or ?
You wont be able to adjust the height on lowering springs, you would need coilovers for that
@@DanVilla7 ohh aight
would you recommend these even if the car gets daily driven like 60+ miles for work and if so are you using a camber kit for the rear wheels ?
Yes, I daily mine about 45 miles a day. So similar situation. I still have not done a camber kit as I don't see it being worth it for me. I just rotate my tires to even out the wear. Its not low enough for the camber to be that far off.
@@DanVilla7 appreciate you replying back so fast!!!! just put my order in for these 🙏
@@ejahching3269 no problem! I try my best to get back to everyone asap
@@DanVilla7 do you have any social media for your car build ? i’ll give you a follow !
Yes I have IG link in the description of all my video's
Any camber kit?
I didn't use one. There is some negative camber but not much. I personally like that look.
@@DanVilla7 Did you get an alignment?
Sorry I am asking because I bought my eibach springs a couple months ago and found out I needed a camber kit too so I returned my springs. I feel like the drop isn't much but needs a camber kit. I don't know.
@@vincentdo4757 Yes I did. You should always get an alignment when doing any kind of suspension modification. With a camber kit you will be able get rid of all the negative camber. I didn't use one so I still have some. Im pretty sure it will be fine but my tires will be the real judge.
No need for it, I got the same springs. They’re awesome
How far was the alignment off with the drop? Is the front showing tire wear as yet?
What front lol do you have
Front lip? Got it on Ebay
Dan Villa My bad that was a typo but yeah I meant lip. Can you send me the link?
@@albertdiaz6829 link not working. But just do a search for Accord front lip. I ordered direct from China. I wasn't in a rush, and it only cost $40 shipped. People rebrand and sell for almost $200 and its the same thing. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but fit and finish is great.
Dan Villa Alright cool. Have you noticed any settling with the springs? Or is the height still same as when you lowered it?
@@albertdiaz6829 it did get slightly lower after a week or so. Maybe a little less than 1/4" lower.
The rear looks the same.
Take that back, I see the difference. Lol
@@Ghost7_. it's the slight negative camber and the wheels offset that makes it appear that way. I know where your coming from lol. But its definitely lower!
The front is too low in comparison to the rear. Is uneven !!!!! Solution: coilovers for an even front / rear balance stance
