You can do that. Make sure to brace the car well before you cut the floor out. In unibodies it is very structual. Then cut it out and weld it back in. I've never looked at an accord before but one idea I had on my civc was to cut the "frame" rails off the bottom and plate it back up. Then rerun all the brake and fuel lines because they would be crushed at that point with the rails gone.

it wont work. youll end up with a pile of scrap metal.The closest thing you can do possibly is what james said ^^^^about the uni rails

not really a body drop but you can cut out the strut mounts and raise them to your desired high and that lowers the entire car. you will need to rerun some hardlines though
