Need advice on suspension setup!!!
OK...Here it goes..
Im soo totally confused on what coilover setup to go with. I have been searching for information all freaking day and have yet to come up with a decision
1) Tein Basics- I have read that these are basically ****.
2) Tein SS- A few good reviiews a few bad. They are basically like the basics except they are damping adjustable. But people say even at full hard they are still a bit on the soft side
3) Omni Streets- Alot of people seem to like these but I also heard from some owners that they can be bouncy
4) Omni Sports- I thought these were going to be it because they have the 10k-12k springs and are alot more hardcore as opposed to the streets but I talked to Kteller and he told me these ******* will be bouncy too!!
5)GC/Koni- Seems like nothing but good things I have heard about this setup, the only downfasll is they aren't adjustable.
Heres what I'm looking for. My old 5th gen Prelude I had Tein HA's on it and it was perfect, a little harsh but I actually like it like that and zero bounciness
Well I just bought this damn Accord and it came with some DropZone sleeve-type coilovers on it with stock shocks. This thing handles like *** and is so bouncy its not even funny! When I go over the highway bridge things with the bumps every so often the bouncing gets dangerous and if I'm going to fast I know I'll lose control. So all I want are something like my old HA's in terms of ride. I have seen a few 5th gen Accord people with HA's but I guess they are discontinued. I want very stiff ride, no bouncing..I want the coilover to absorb the road not bounce when the roads get bad. I know the Zeal B6 Functions would be ideal and I might just hold off for those but I dont know how much longer I can handle driving it like this especially when it's lowered and I bottom out from all the bouncing. Sorry for the long post but I need some help!!
And please no post telling me to search because that option has been FULLY exhausted!

Re: Need advice on suspension setup!!! (CWestAccord)
Just a touch, eh? I believe they are like $1800! HKS also has the hipermax for the 94-97 so I may consider that. Buddy Club does not make a c/o for the 94-97 only the 98+. Do you have the B6 function on your Accord?
