Simply go with a set of lowering springs.Is there an option for Accord Touring owners to lower the car and still keep the Active suspension?
There’s always that possibility that lowering the car will reduce the long term reliability of your shocks and struts. My ATS-V has a high end magnetic ride control and I will not lower the vehicle because of that. Many ATS-V owners do, but replacing one of those shocks is thousands of dollars.Has anyone tried it? any issues with it being more susceptible to blowing out the damper? for example when driving over pot holes or speed bumps
How many miles have you driven since installation?My 2018 Touring is lowered on the most aggressive Eibachs and you can tell a difference in ride quality. That being said, I could never tell if the adapative suspension was working on or not. Personally the car isn't low enough for me.
Less than 500. Seriously, I don't drive the car much.How many miles have you driven since installation?
I have the 2019 Touring 2.0T with Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs (0.8"), rear sway bar, and rear camber arm adjustment kit. I have around 20,000 miles on this setup and the dampers seem to be working fine. They still adjust to the firmer setting in sport mode, which I rarely use - mostly on fun twisty roads. I also have a modified Borla exhaust setup and run the Hondata CARB stage 2 tune. It handles and drives great! I'm also getting incredible highway mpg on longer trips.Has anyone tried it? any issues with it being more susceptible to blowing out the damper? for example when driving over pot holes or speed bumps
I love the wheels in your profile pic. Do you have them and if so what size, specs etc, and do you have pics? I'm thinking my rebate check will end up in a set of these.I have the 2019 Touring 2.0T with Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs (0.8"), rear sway bar, and rear camber arm adjustment kit.

Just checking in on this post. How many miles do you have on this setup now? I just got an accord touring with adaptive suspension.Thought I’d share mine in case others are researching drops/rims/tires etc....
2019 Touring 2.0
D2 Pro 2” drop lowering springs
CONCEPT ONE - RS-55 (20" x 8.5" +35)
235/35R20 Tires
There is a bit of a gap in the back. Going to try 3/4” spacers. However, I want to add a rear camber kit before I do that.
I would have loved to do coil overs, but with the touring Adaptive Suspension, not much of an option unless you don’t mind staring at a suspension warning light on your dash for the rest of the time you own it. The ride has a small amount of bounciness. If I put it in sport mode it kills a bit of the bounciness.

Well, thanks to Covid and working from home, I have only put about 3000 miles on that set up. Nor have I done the camber kit. It is just a much lower priority now. No issues to report.Just checking in on this post. How many miles do you have on this setup now? I just got an accord touring with adaptive suspension.
