i have an accord coupe that needs sum new shocks in the back.I want to know if i could replace the shocks for better handling ones that dont make it ride rough but work with the stock setup.

 

You could but the benefits would be minimal. Some very mild springs would be a better choice

 

What year is your car? The reason I ask is even if you put $800 on Koni shocks it isn't going to make much of a difference on 15 year old springs. If you want better handling suspension replace the shocks and springs at the same time for best results.

 

KYB GR-2

aftermarket OEM replacements

 

KYB ,Koni, tokiko or monroe

which are best for Street Racer and Daily Driver Freeway

so what kind of springs should I upgrade too?????????

 

Eibach Pro-kit will give the car a much more sporty feel, while IMO not really degrading ride quality vs stock. GR-2's are an aftermarket stock replacement shock, and I imagine would be your cheapest (quality) replacement.

 

I don't mean to take over this thread but I need more info!

so I'm looking to buy new shocks and springs
eibach looks nice......so I'm thinking of going lower also

I dont want to lower my ride too much....maybe a good 1\2 or 1 inch drop
I know if I do this its gonna mess with my tire alignment
what else do I have to upgrade to fix this??

Please search. If you had, you'd found that Pro-kit lowers the car about 1.5" front and rear. A standard alignment should be performed after any suspension modification. You won't need a camber kit, as stock adjustments will do just fine because it's not that much of a drop. The Accord FAQ at the top of the forum probably has enough info on suspension to answer all the questions that have been asked here.
