Lowering Springs
When it comes to lowering springs, we recommend the H&R Sport Spring. Sport Spring kits are H&R’s number one selling product, as they are known for enhancing the look of a vehicle with a reduced fender well gap. H&R Sport Springs lower the vehicle’s center of gravity and reduce body roll for better handling. The progressive spring rate design provides superb ride quality and comfort. A lower wind resistance signature will make the vehicle more streamlined and improve gas mileage.

Body / Aero
We recommend Seibon Carbon components as they are carefully hand-crafted using only the finest materials. They have 15 years of experience working with carbon fiber, and every one of their components is constructed with a consistent weave pattern. Their products have high product stiffness which also leads to extra strength, and a stunning finish as they are coated with a glossy clear coat that does not chip or flake. Seibon is known for creating performance-oriented products that help shed unnecessary weight without sacrificing style and that is one of the reasons that make it the preferred brand among professional drivers.

Wheels
There are many different routes to run when it comes to wheel fitment on the 10th Gen Honda Accord. The stock wheel wheel size is 19×8 +55mm with bolt pattern of 5×114.3. For front wheel sizes, you could fit a wheel with a 17″ – 21″ diameter, 7.5″ – 10″ width, and 20mm – 55mm offset. For rear wheel sizes, you could fit a wheel with a 17″ – 21″ diameter, 7.5″ – 10.5″ width, and 15mm – 55mm offset. We personally like the look of 19×9.5 +35 – Front and Rear, paired with 235/35R19 size tires. We have some of the wheels with those sizes in our shop that are available in Matte Black, Matte Bronze, and Gloss Silver Machines Face finish.
Tires
For the 10th Gen Honda Accord, we recommend tires by Pirelli. Founded in Milan back in 1872, the brand is trusted by many enthusiasts for offering tires designed to perform in different types of weather and road conditions either for street or track use. These tires provide ultra-high performance handling and traction, and a quiet, comfortable ride. Using their wide circumferential grooves and silica-enhanced tread compound, these tires deliver outstanding grip in any weather. The large shoulder blocks and customized tread compound provide responsive handling and a smooth, quiet ride with a variable-pitch tread pattern. If you are looking for a tire that delivers thrilling performance and highly responsive handling, Pirelli has many options for you to choose from.
