Default Based on your experience...

I don't have much experience, in the area of aftermarket parts. Having said that, here's my question:

how soon would the stock struts of a stock 2000 accord Sedan 4 cyl. need to be replaced, if at all, if I installed H&R's with a 1.5 drop in front and 1.2 drop in the rear. A note to keep in mind; once a month I do go on Road Rallye's.

i dunno about the '00 accords, but its best to use an aftermarket strut when you want to lower the car....they were designed to take more punishment.... as far as road rallies go, i would definitely go with aftermarket

If you do road rallys you will blow them quicker. I have lowered mine 1.25" with stockers and I'm not expecting them to last more than a year. Give it about a year. When you sag em, bag em.

exactly ....typically I have found that people on here like kyb agx's with lowering; the gr2's are almost an oem replacement and the tokico are somewhat overpriced for what you get. But read the basic guide for more suggestions on suspension pieces Jason (iam7head) wrote a very imformative post .

illumina got some mixed review...it's almost the price of Koni yellow anyways..

koni is way to go IMHO.


there still no AGX for 6th gen, dont think they will come out for 6th gen neither

1.5/1.2, one or two year
