Im looking at getting a set of the one of the following:
Eibach-Prokit 1.5"F 1.3"R
Tein-H.Tech 1.3"F 1.1"R
Tanabe- NF210(normal feeling) 1.3"F 1.3"R
As you can probably tell ride comfort is my number one priority. I've had H&R OE sports before and i really liked them but I want something a little lower. I'm planing on getting KYB struts and ST sway bars for the H.Techs or the NF210s. For the Eibachs I was thinking of just snatching up the Pro-System-Plus.
Tell me what you think.
P.S. the ST sways are 24mm F/ 19mm R and the Eibach sways are 26mm F / 17mm R
Any comments good or bad are welcome

If ride comfort really is your first priority, then you want stock springs. Nothing else will ride as nice.

Honestly, for a slight lowering, I would just go get a set of Koni Spots, and use them with the stock springs on the lower perch positions. That will give a slight drop and the most comfortable ride possible. You can even stuff the front shocks a little extra into the forks, to get a rake if desired.

Anyone of these will ride fine on stock shocks as long as you cut your bump stop accordingly (around 1/4-1/2).

I'm not saying I want the ride quality to be same as stock. I want a more slightly more aggressive suspension that I can daily drive. I don't want to have to adjust anything like dampining or ride hight. I'm just leaning more towards comfort and ease of use then making my hatch handle the best it can.

Tell me what you think of each of the set-ups and if you have had any experience with them.

 

Stick with Eibach good drop quality products.

 

Eibach has a lifetime warranty...so that gives you something to think about.

 

I never took the warranty into much concideration but the fact that the Eibach Pro-System-Plus is designed to work together is very appealing to me. I've seen it going for about $750. Anyone know where I can get it for a better price? Also, will I need an allignment kit?

 

Eibach has alignment kits too ebay try search over the internet.

I'm in the same situation as RedRocket, except I'm driving an '07 V6 Accord. I was thinking the same thing that TunerN00b put out. My question is: How much of a handling bump will the Koni Sport give by themselves set on a low perch position over some good performance tires like the Kumho SPT?
