Default extended top hats and ebay coils

I am looking to get ahold of ebay coils that are stiffer than max-speeds and of decent quality, obviously im not expecting alot from egayz.
Also, does anyone make extended front top hats for use with either tokico illuminas or koni yellows? I only need the fronts as my back really isnt that low, but fronts to work with illuminas would be awesome.

Quality extended top hats do not exist, as of 2 years ago when I was doing my suspension.

If you want sleeve overs = go with ground controls and pair them up with koni yellows.

No, there are shortened staffed ones. What exactly are you trying to do? You can slam an Accord with regular stuff haha.

check there for pics of my car, i would like to go a little lower, and i ended breaking the bump stops out of my fromt tokicos from hitting them so much. Im trying to atleast no go any higher but get some more travel from my suspension. As you can see my car is pretty low already, but like i said, id like to get some more travel. How would i go about doing this?

eh... thats too low IMO but to each their own. Also, why do you want the front so low and not the back?

I don't recall if it's possible to do on the Accord but I do recall seeing a how-to somewhere on HT for extending your own top hats. I think the tutorial was on a Civic, but they showed cutting and welding the top hat to extend it. Doubt it would be as good as a quality built set but something for you to possibly look into if thats what you are wanting to do.

as i drop the front the back goes down progressively as well. haha. I like the rake the way it sits, but dont desire to have any more. However, i can currently go down like another 2.5in in the rear.

extended hat in accord is very hard to diy because accord shocks small. you need to mod :seat rod, bump stop, shocks protector/ dirt shield for front
rear is easy
