Lowering Specifications
Lowering your vehicle reduces the center of gravity, improving handling while giving your Accord or Acura a sportier appearance.
| Position | Ride Height Drop |
|---|---|
| Front | 2.0 inches |
| Rear | 1.8 inches |
A 2-inch front drop combined with a 1.8-inch rear drop dramatically reduces factory wheel gap while maintaining practical street usability when paired with properly functioning dampers.
Spring Rates
These springs are engineered to balance ride comfort with improved chassis control.
| Position | Spring Rate |
| Front | 4.2 kg/mm (235.2 lbs/in) |
| Rear | 2.2 kg/mm (123.2 lbs/in) |
The carefully selected spring rates help reduce excessive body movement during braking, acceleration, and cornering while maintaining a comfortable ride suitable for daily driving.
Premium SAE 9254 Cold-Wound Steel Construction
Unlike inexpensive suspension springs that can sag over time, maXpeedingrods manufactures these springs using SAE 9254 high-strength spring steel, a material commonly used in automotive performance suspension due to its excellent fatigue resistance and long service life.
Key construction features include:
- SAE 9254 cold-wound spring steel
- High-strength steel alloy construction
- Anti-corrosion protective coating
- Designed to resist moisture, road salt, and chemicals
- Stable mechanical properties under high operating temperatures
- Long-lasting powder-coated blue finish
The corrosion-resistant coating helps extend service life in harsh weather conditions while maintaining the spring’s structural integrity.
Improved Handling and Vehicle Control
Lowering your suspension isn’t just about appearance.
By lowering your Accord, TL, or TSX approximately two inches, these springs help improve several important aspects of vehicle dynamics:
- Reduced body roll during cornering
- Improved steering response
- Lower center of gravity
- Reduced brake dive
- Reduced rear squat during acceleration
- Increased high-speed stability
- More planted driving feel
- Sportier overall handling characteristics
Whether driving through mountain roads or commuting daily, the vehicle feels more controlled and predictable.
Built for Long-Term Reliability
Every set of maXpeedingrods lowering springs undergoes extensive durability testing before reaching production.
Testing includes:
- 200,000-cycle fatigue testing
- 720-hour salt spray corrosion testing
These tests verify long-term spring performance and corrosion resistance under demanding environmental conditions.
OEM and Aftermarket Shock Compatibility
These springs are designed for compatibility with:
- Factory OEM shocks
- Most aftermarket replacement shocks
- Performance dampers designed for lowered vehicles
While factory shocks can be retained if they are in good condition, pairing lowering springs with performance dampers often delivers the best combination of ride quality and handling.
Installation Information
Estimated Installation Time
2-4 hours
Professional installation is recommended.
After installation:
- A professional four-wheel alignment should always be performed.
- Suspension components should be inspected for wear before installation.
- Lowered vehicles may benefit from adjustable camber kits depending on wheel and tire setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these lowering springs fit factory shocks?
Yes. These springs are designed to work with OEM shocks that are in good condition, although performance dampers are recommended for the best ride and handling.
Will I need an alignment?
Yes. Anytime suspension ride height changes, a professional alignment should be performed.
Do these springs improve handling?
Yes. Lowering the vehicle reduces the center of gravity, helping reduce body roll, improve cornering stability, and enhance steering response.
Will my vehicle ride harsher?
Expect a firmer, more controlled ride compared to factory suspension. The increase in spring rate improves chassis stability while remaining suitable for daily driving.
Do I need adjustable camber arms?
Depending on your wheel and tire setup, camber correction components may be recommended after lowering the vehicle nearly two inches.
