Default Need help with springs and shocks

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, so bare with me
I have 2004, 4 dr Accord, 4 cyl. 5 speed.
What I would like is to get new springs and or shocks for the rear end.
I feel it needs to be stiffer. With any kind of load in the car I feel it's way too mushy
Can anyone give me some links and advice for a good setup?
I just don't want to slap any spring or shocks in the car

do you want a lower stance with the firmer ride or just a firmer ride?

I'm happy with the current ride height.
I'd start there first.
Thanks in advance if you can help

i'm not sure if eibach makes the pro-kit for the new accords yet or not, but if so that would be a decently stiffer spring with not much height difference than stock...

There are neuspeed sports for your application that lower the car 1.5" in front and 1" in rear.

The BEST bet, and my recommendation if you want to keep a stock ride height, is the H&R OE sport sets.

They are made to give you better handling and weight balance, and the OE sports lower the front .75" and the rear .5"

I'd go with those.

Both are available for the 2003+ Accord

If you want to maintain stock height, I would personally just recommend replacing your shocks all around. It will give you a better feel and a bit stiffer and more adaptable ride.

But at the same time, there are very few aftermarket shocks available for your car. I wish Bilstein would get on the ball with the 7g, because their HD shocks would be a *perfect* choice for you.

I guess, until then, the OE spring idea might be best.
