you never wanna cheap out on setups, just save your money and get a good setup. i would recommend the "TEIN Flex", it's adjustable for smooth rides when you want it to be or you can stiffen your ride right before a run at the strip.

PIC Apex's or PIC Selects, adjustable spring seat height and adjustable shock height. Selects come with adjustable shocks as well. PIC will build a set with custom spring rates also so in your case you can have stiffer springs in front for that pregnant motor..haha jus kiddin

i found the ksports for 669.99 where all the pics are well over 1000. so its not to bad on price... are there any good shock and coil setups, other than coilovers

the PIC'S Apex's (what I run) are priced at around $800. If you contact the vendor that sells them in the marketplace he cuts you a great deal. I got mine for $750 shipped to my door. I read on a thread on here somehwere that the Ksports, PIC's, Omni's and some other coilovers are all stamped out of the same factory. PIC however ttears them down and uses higher quality guts and better springs. Dunno if this is true but mine ride amazing. As far as shock/spring setups, at one time I had Tein Stechs on KYB AGX struts. They were nice but the best I've felt is probably Eibach Sportlines on Tokico Blues. You won't be very low on those though. Good luck!

i was wondering if 90-93 accord shocks and spring will work. those should be heavy duty enough to support the h22a since its a direct boltin on those chassis. has anyone tried

the H series isnt that much heavier, so any quality setup will work...

i want to emphasize 'quality' in this statement. im running just mediocre coilovers with dropzone struts and the moment and hate it.
take the time, research, and save for a good setup
your *** will thank you

all the part numbers for eg civics and 90-93 accords are completely different.
so if i were to guess i would say no.
but you can always try and post results

ok so far i have done the fronts. i have the accord h&r's on the front of my civic...i had to use the top and bottom mount off of the civic with the accord setup. its seems really nice so far stiff but not bouncy. i have to do the rear still which is really really bouncy compared to the front now. i hope the rear work as well as the fronts do. o and the only thing wrong is that the brake line cant be mounted to the shock cuz of different angles but they rnt goin to hit anything so should be ok there

well i have search online everywhere and everyone said that the accord setup would not work and i just put them on my civic so it looks to me like they worked good. i had ebay sleeves on stock shocks slammed and now i have the h&r's from an 90-93 accord on there with more room to lower and its sitting at the same height as the slammed sleeves. cant wait to do the swap and c how it rides... very stiff ride so far but they still need to break in a bit
