Ok here is a big problem.. I own an 01 Honda accord EX V6 sedan… I recently bought 18 inch rims and burned the springs to lower the car.. Now the car feels rough and you can feel every little bump in the street and i have to be really careful with the most little and insignificant bump because it will bend my rims..
I need to know what can i buy on ebay so i can lower my car and wont have any problems with my suspension.. Please include details so i can know what to buy.. I will really apreciate your answers alot.. Thanks
When you burned (torched) your springs you reduced your ability to prevent the suspension from bottoming out (full compression of the suspension). So when you drive over larger bumps the whole car is jolted.
Installing shorter and stiffer springs will reduce the tendency to bottom out while still keeping the car low. Also using high performance shocks with more compression dampening while help reduce the tendency to bottom out.
These changes will help preserve your wheels by reducing uncontrolled suspension action (bottoming out).
Does this make sense? Here is a web site that has info on how to lower your car.

Hmm, here’s info from my experience from modifying cars… sport suspension or anything lowering is less shock absorption, which then means you feel a ton more impact. And with 18" rims, you’ve got the most impact than compared to 17" rims. The lower profile your tires are, the less absorption as well.
