Suspension setups?
alrighty. looking to upgrade my suspension setup on the ol' accord. i'm trying to figure out what would give me good performance but, won't rape my back from daily driving. i went to Koni's site, and there, i found that i could get a complete set of Koni shocks for about 400. i've heard that Koni is a good brand, but i've also heard something about the 'yellow' Koni ' s being like, the preference of many honda autocrossers( ok , it was in the guide to basic accords thread). i'm just trying to do my homework. i have a tenzo strut bar. it helps some on the corners, but, like any enthusiast, i'm never happy...heehee. anyone willing to give me feedback on what they use, or what they know is good, it'd be greatly appreciated. i know how to get more horses out of the ole F22b1, but when it comes to suspension, i'm a new-beee. will the Koni shocks do me good, or should i go for come nice coilovers? any feedback is welcome! thaks dudes!

An ITR sway on an Accord? Passwordjdm 3 point strut bar? Are you sure you're in the right forum?
AccordSleeperZzZ,
Coilovers aren't necessary for a car that isn't going to see track time. Eibach Prokit and Sportline, Nuespeed Sports, H&R... They should all give you a comfortable ride. Pick the drop height you want, and pick some struts. Most of what you can choose you find on eBay for decent prices. If you feel like spending more money, you can get coilovers instead. Just don't buy the cheapo eBay no-name stuff.
Oh, and you don't need to bump your thread. It's generally frowned upon...

I've got the same setup on my 6th gen sedan and really like it for daily driving. I'm almost as low as you can go on the Ground Controls, and the setting for the Koni's in the middle, towards the stiffer side. Some people might say it's overkill for a daily driver, but it's comfy for me, and I like my car really low.
