Default springs for my 88 accord

when doing my control arms i noticed that the front pass side coil spring was broken at the base so instead of buying a stock spring it gives me a good excuse to get some performance springs but i cant find any except one kid selling a set of drop zone springs which are 2.25 drop which is way too much especially on 205k original (im guessing) shocks

are there any other honda springs that would be interchangeable like how the 92-95 civic springs can swap out with a 94-01 integra

yeah i was wondering what happened over there

why does nobody respond to accord threads over here? It seems like the only action is in the civic integra forums

well, these older accords are overlooked, as they are thought of as outdated and useless around here... most people would rather be able to build a car with off the shelf parts than have to make 90% of what goes on as is the case with these third gen accords...

I wouldn't go as far as to say that 3rd gens are overlooked here. It's just that there are very few people who have had one or even know much about them. Since 3geez is devoted to the 3rd gens, great amounts of knowledge gets spread throughout their forums very quickly, like knowledge of most other Hondas here.

you can get the whole tokico set on ebay a lot of times... lowering springs and struts included...

i do hear good things about the H&R springs for these cars, also...

no matter what you go with, you should at least get tokico blues or get OE replacements and join the koni groupbuy and you'll have konis in a few months...
