There is no one best.

You need to describe what you are looking for. Just want it lower for looks? Suspension for handling? Track use on occasion, or all the time? What's your budget? How much comfort do you want or how much performance?

Seriously though, search. Read the Guide to Basic Accords stickied at the top.

And I wish people would stop asking for the "best this" and "best that"... It's all relative to what you want/like and to your goals. The best choice for one person may be the worst choice for another.

how do you like those Jake? Real stiff? Is the Accord still your DD? Just wondering how those feel on the street.

Also, where was that at?

Edit:
Sorry about the OT. Jake, IM me about that last part if you'd like.

Love the suspension, its pretty stiff but not uncomfortable. I drive the car EVERYDAY on that suspension and wouldnt have it any other way. The only downside about the suspension is having to worry about speedbumps or steep driveways etc.

That pic of my car on the track was taken at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven at West Michigan Honda Meet 5.

about what I'm going with. I'm taking the cheap route:

H&R Sport: $150
Koni Red: $160

should handle much nicer, ride a bit more stiff (which I like), and drop it just right for me.

That car has about 270,000 miles on an LX motor that has never been opened up at all. It won its class every time it has gone out so far.

It's not out much anymore, being a kind of fun, reserve car for racers who have just stepped back a little.

Corey Jacobs (Honda318dx) at the wheel in that picture. Won H4 Honda Challenge class at Shenandoah Circuit/Summit Point that day.

if you are really just looking to increase handeling a bit and lower the car, no need for coilovers. Personally, id take adjustable shocks + a lower spring over a basic coilover setup for the same price that only allows height adjustment


Eibach Sportlines on KYB AGX's, set to 2 in the front, 7 in the rear
