Icon5 looking for coilovers to lift my 2002 accord se up a half inch.

I'm new to all this car stuff, but I just got my first car out of high school a few months ago and I'm looking to get a smother ride out of it (gonna be my daily till i die.) and a bit more ground clearance because I feel its a bit too low to the ground than I am comfortable with. hoping you all kind individuals could give a some suggestions.

I don't think coilovers (which typically have stiffer spring rates) are going to make the ride more comfortable...

And buying cheap coilovers is a horrendous idea.

You're likely better off refreshing the stock setup with some new shocks/struts and making sure the stock springs are in good shape. Then making sure your tire size is correct and properly inflated is going to help as well.

I don't think anyone is going to agree a stock height 6th gen Accord is 'too low' they're practically monster trucks.

I would think it is sagging springs. If you only need 1/2-1" rise in the car it probably would behoove you to simply pickup a new set of KYB assemblies

Cheaper than a decent set of coilovers and much less work.
