Just out of curiosity,why put full coilovers on a bone stock Accord?Would it not have been cheaper to go with a Koni/GC set up if you wanted just to go lower?Or maybe lowering springs like Eibach or Neuspeed?

does it matter if it looks stock? for some of us, we like the extior stock look,
Clean Stock look = SEXY!!!

koni/gc would have been probably the same price as the k-sports. and lowering springs are the cheap way out. if your gonna do something, dont hals-*** it.

love the car man, get some wheel spacers then it'll look even better

exactly. i was originally looking at getting GC's and illuminas. and for another $100 i couldve gotten full coilovers with top mounts and all.....and go lower. so thats why i went with the ksports. lowering springs never even crossed my mind, with any of my cars that ive lowered. i always go with coilovers. this is the 2nd 6th gen ive had, and on the last one i did skunk2 sleeves and illuminas, it handled good, but didnt go as low as i wanted, plus i wanted full coils. and its just a 4 banger, so its not like ill be taking corners at mach 10, hahaha

i would also like to apologize that i dont have a potato launcher or any ugly body kit/lip kit on my car to further justify why i went with full coilovers

Hey,I was just wondering,I'm not knocking your choice because I have Ksports too on my 94 Accord.

I got mine because when I bought my car my plan was to build for performance(moderate,not a beast).After some research(this is my first tuner so I'm still relatively new to the whole thing),I had the feeling that it really wasn't worth the time,effort,or money,but by that point I had already made a suspension upgrade from Tokico blues/GC to Ksport.If my Ksports blow,I'll put my Ground Control springs back on and get Koni yellows to go with it(the GC/Tokico blues set up sucks ***,but that's how I bought the car).

So that being said,unless you are constantly raising and lowing your car,then it would just seem more cost effective to go with a simple set of lowering springs.I will say though,that you just can't beat the adjustability of a set of full coilovers.

gotcha.

i got the ksports simply for how low they could go. the adjustble height shock body was pretty much what sold me on them, since i had B&G RS2's on my GTI, and the adjustble shock body is awesome, i def wanted something like that for the accord.
