suspension is not something you wanna go cheap on. Save up some more money and get springs and shocks

Good call, don't ever skimp on it because you will have the shittiest ride ever. Especially if you use coilover sleeves on stock struts, BAD IDEA! Save up for some eibach sportlines and KYB AGX's or something, just don't go cheap. Good luck

 

Some of the idiots around my school chop their springs, trust me, don't do this. Once it's cut, it's cut, and just because all springs are cut the same doesn't mean they'll drop the same...it looks weird on my friend's Accord where the *** is sagging, plus you get a really shitty ride like this.

Just sayin' before anyone offers it as a solution, NOT to do it.

 

dont coilovers cost like $1000

you can find some ebay coilovers for real cheap.

same with ground control and skunk2. i think they only go for 200 im pretty sure.

 

you could just get some tein s-tech springs they dont cost that much.....

 

you get what you pay for. save up and get good coilovers.

 

custom rate ground controls + koni yellows.

if you can't afford that, custom rate GC's + KYB AGX's.

don't get ebay coilover sleeves, they're worthless.

i ran coilovers on stock struts.. .BAAAAAAAAAD idea... saved up for sum AGXs and its probably one of the best mods i've done

 

Ground Control Coilovers are around 285...and then get KYG ABX's..pretty good set up that isnt to expensive but pretty good quality

 

KYG ABX's are only recommended for a 1.5 drop anything after that good luck. spend 90 more bucks and get tokico illumina's or 200 more and get koni yellow's

 

i think if you went to the suspension forum they would be able to help you out a lot more.

You're talking about sleeved springs and they're crap. Bouncy ride and no :brain fart: control over bottoming out. Go with some nice sport springs. should give you about an 1.7" drop all around and you can pick em' up on ebay for around $150

 

or just get some skunk 2 coilovers with some tannabe shocks. its a good setup and is probably the least expensive out there for what you get.

 

for a modest drop, try eibach prokit. you could prob run stock shocks if you don't hit too many rough roads, but aftermarket would be a good investment. it's about 1 1/4 in drop. they are not expensive either.

not sure how sleeved springs wouldn't give you control over bottoming out if you could adjust the ride height to avoid it.

i agree that ebay sleeves are worthless, but i'll recommend ground control all day, every day.

 

Cheap springs can blow your stock struts.... get some decent springs and definately upgrade your struts

 

i run h&r race springs on stock struts and the ride is still good. the drop is 2" too. that's just my opinion though

 

not to jack the thread but I have Ground controls right now on AGXs and im thinking about getting some h&r race or eibach pro. I want to have a moderate drop but a better ride. Can someone post up some pics of their cars on these setups.

 

one of the best deals i've found

just buy replacement ERS springs with softer spring rates. put the rear springs on the front and buy a pair of 200#/in springs for the rear.

also, how low are you? if you're too low there isn't enough shock travel and the ride's gonna suck.
