I'll suggest on saving enough money for both springs and upgrade shocks. So you can do both at once, instead of having to do it twice when u get new shocks.

if your straped on cash and want a lowered ride for now then go ahead and get the springs, as long as your planning on upgrading your dampers later on when you can afford it and dont mind doing the work twice (which sint a big deal, the accords suspension is very easy to work on). just keep in mind with the new springs and stock dampers your ride will be under dampened so dont try to be schumacher on the freeway on ramp to work.

when those shocks go bad and they will, it will trash your springs. I have those springs and because my left front shock went out it had a permanent sag even after upgrading to KYB AGX.
