Default 1995 Accord Coil Overs?

Hello guys, I was wondering what are the best options for coil overs for a 1995 Honda Accord. Trying to get lower than stock but not slammed.

I've been on Function Form Type 1's for over 100,000, no issues whatsoever.

Koni sport struts (yellow) and Ground Control sleeve-overs are a flexible alternative. Ground control make a sleeve that snaps onto the spring perch boss of the Koni shock so it looks like a real coilover. There are shops that can revalve Koni's and you can get custom spring rates from Ground Control when ordering the sleeve-over kit.

They are pricey but TEIN Super Street coil-overs are really nice. Adjustable valving, 0-3" drop, good powdercoat on shock body and springs so they last and look wicked cool haha. I got the Pillow-ball upper mounts with mine (spherical bearing for the upper shock mount rather than rubber) They made my car handle like really freakin well. Depending on your budget and what you already have on the car you may want to consider a larger rim and lower profile/good performance tire to complete your handling upgrade. I had 17" wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1's on my 94' CD5 and the thing was disgusting. Oh how I miss bombing into interstate ramps at 100mph.
