ivantruckman Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 A lot of it depends on your skill level, and if you have a welder plasma cutter , metal saw, it would be cheaper to bild your own kit, but easyer to go with a sjr lift, sjr does all the engineering for you , i had to calculate all the angles, it was kinda confusing and i had a lot of re dos too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousXTC Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 86 honda accord springs in rearford escourt spring in front put 215/70 R14 tires on DONE How much height is gained with accord and escort springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The Honda front springs lift the rear about 1.5". But as my mate found out the spring bottoms out before the bumps stop or shocker and can (did) push the bottom spring mount off its place on the shocker. And don't try and weld them back on..... First question I would ask is Why do you want a lift? Clearance, looks, to fit bigger tires, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 How much height is gained with accord and escort springs? i never did a measurement 2" is my guess & with big 14" tires about 3-3 1/2" Maybe. big 14" alone raised my loyale 1 1/2 ". (205/70R14) Stock wheels & Springs 205/70 R14 on stock springs i will do measurement after Springs have been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subyfreak Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Any idea what years will work for the spring donations? I don't want to be seen around Hondas and Escorts too much! Please post some pics of the Escort springs up front. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. i never had escourt springs on it. i was told to use them. sorry i didnt say that erlier. i only have 86 honda accor spring in the back. i never bothered to have escourt spring put on cuz i liked it being lower in the front. this weekend i'll get measurements from ground to rearend.

SubaruJawn Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) ok. measurements from ground to rearend. i thought they were stock tires: 8" cleareance from 195/75 R14 tires which raised it alone 1" so stock would be 7" Accord Springs 215/70 R14 Tires: 11 1/4" thats a 4 1/4" lift just springs & tires now add the sjr lift. 8 1/4" total.....
