lowering a 2005 accord cpe v6

[rkangl6]

Has anyone lowered their 2003 - 2005 Honda Accord Cpe v6? I used the Eibach Sportline Kit that lowers the front 1.9 and the rear 1.4. I used the original struts cause no one has come out with struts for this year yet. I get a knock/clanking sound out of the back passenger side. If anyone has lowered their car and have had the same problem and fixed it could you please let ME know what it is so I can fix mine! You can either let me know through here or logansdad06@yahoo.com

Thank you!

i have the sportline on my 04 coupe and from the way i understand it that is just the springs compressing all the way and clanking together....i had it do that for the first couple of months and then it seemed that they settled in their and quit doing that...i have had it lowered for going on 4 months now and don't notice it at all anymore...i really only noticed it going off the edge of my driveway and over small potholes and speedbumps. I can tell you that if yours is just like mine though that you will need a camber kit in the rear....ive been lazy in getting one and im beginning to get some nasty tire wear on the rear so pick up a rear camber kit if ya can. need any more help email me at bennett66@marshall.edu or IM me on AIM dmbfan1551.

Thank you very much. Yes I did have the camber kit installed at the same time and I've gotten alot of compliments on how great it looks! I don't know if I'll be able to handle two months with the clanking. So I have an appt on Thursday to have the people that installed it look at it and double check everything. Again thanks for yoru response.

koni has some good shocks out for our car now, check out shox.com, should be able to find them on there for a decent price, good stuff at that too.

those look like the sex. btw, i am looking into buying a 03 V6 Coupe, and i test drove one around here, and it was sexy, i was wondering tho, on shox.com they have that koni struts and eibach proline kit, the ride on the v6 was soo good to me that i really dont wanna compromise it, will those springs and struts result in ANY kind of loss in the suspension department?
