i just bought the Eibach sportline coilovers. do i need to buy aftermarket shocks with it? i heard that you need shocks only when you have lowering springs. i also heard that the proline can use stock shocks and the sportline needs aftermarket shocks.

 

Sportline springs, yes you need shocks. Sportline coilovers, no since shocks should already be included.

Yes, it will. I'm stock and lowered 1.8 in and I hit things if i'm not careful. I have a friend whos accord is lowered AND he has a kit (well not anymore) and he'd have to basically IDLE up driveways and things. I almost hit him about 3 times because I wasnt expecting a dead stop. His bumpers were also scraped up and chipped on the bottom.

If you want to keep the daily driveability, lower it 2" without a kit. A kit will just look bad in general and deteriorate over time.

KYB AGXs are good, but if you can afford to get a set of Koni yellows get them instead.

 

Ihave tokico illuminas and no complaints here. 5 way adjustable, very nice. They dont make KYB AGX's for 98-02 Accords, but i'd also recommend those.

Koni's are nice, they have the adjustable perch, but I believe they're only 3 way adjustable.

It's up to your personal preference, however i'd only go with Illumina's, AGX's, or Konis.

The normal KYB and Tokico shocks won't beable to handle the lowering springs.

 

Like someone else said get AGX struts or if you got the money to do koni yellows,they will last as will the agxs
