Is it time to replace your race suit? Let’s get you track-ready. 
This is the BC Racing Coilovers Honda Accord Front kit, built to the standard strut and shock dimensions so it bolts straight to the factory mounting points. Chassis code CG. Fits 98-02 cars. Default spring rates are front 9 kg/mm / rear 3.6 kg/mm.
Ride height is set on the lower bracket rather than by compressing the spring. That keeps spring preload and ride height as two separate adjustments, which is the main practical reason people move off budget coilovers.

Spring rates and what is in the box
This kit ships at 9 kg/mm front and 3.6 kg/mm rear. The rates are matched front to rear for a balanced setup on the road. Rates are chosen by BC Racing per application, so they suit a fast road and occasional track car as supplied. If the car is built for something more specific, a track weapon or a car carrying a lot of aero, the rates can be changed without replacing the dampers.
The kit covers all four corners and includes the dampers, springs, lower brackets, locking collars and the adjuster spanners. Top mounts depend on the configuration you pick from the table above. Anything that is worn on the car already, drop links, bushes, top mount bearings, is worth checking while the suspension is apart.
Fitting and setting up BC Racing Coilovers Honda Accord Front
Set corner heights on level ground with the driver weight accounted for, then roll the car and settle the suspension before measuring again. Ride height changes on the bracket, damping on the adjuster knob.
Start with the damping adjusters in the middle of their range and work from there. Wind towards firm for track work and back off for road use, changing one end of the car at a time so you can feel what each change did.
These are serviceable units. Spring rates can be swapped and the dampers rebuilt, so the kit can be re-specced as the car changes rather than replaced.
Worth reading if you are new to this: how a coilover works and why height and preload are separate adjustments.
BC Racing Coilovers Honda Accord Front questions
Will BC Racing Coilovers Honda Accord Front fit without modification?
The kit is cut to the Honda Accord (Front Top Mount PCD 84mm x3) damper and strut dimensions and uses the standard mounting points on the CG chassis. No cutting or welding is needed for a standard car.
How low will the Honda Accord (Front Top Mount PCD 84mm x3) go on these?
Height is adjustable across the full range of the lower bracket. How low you can usefully run depends on your wheel and tyre size and how the car is used, so set it to suit how the car is actually used.
What spring rates do BC Racing Coilovers Honda Accord Front come with?
Front: 9 kg/mm / Rear: 3.6 kg/mm as standard. The springs are a standard ID, so rates can be changed later without replacing the dampers.
Do I need an alignment afterwards?
Yes. Camber and toe both move as the car comes down, so book the alignment once the ride height is set and the suspension has settled.
Are these road legal?
Adjustable suspension is legal for road use in the UK. Keep the ride height sensible, make sure nothing fouls at full lock or full compression, and tell your insurer the car has been modified.
