I have a 97 accord 4 door and I want some full coilovers. This is my daily driver so I don't need dampening but it would be nice to have. I have about 650 to spend what brand should I get.

 

I have Omni's on my CD5 and love them. I paid about 600 about 5 years ago for them.

 

i'm on omnis and i like them. cheap and pretty good quality imo.

 

off topic but dude you're car is baller! that has to be one of THE most gorgeous CDs I've ever seen... lol everything about it just looks good and i looked at your paint thread and you do good work... I'd go to you if I lived closer.

You got raped! Why would you pay that much for something that was used?

 

I've been running Omni streets for years and years. I love them. I would opt for the sport rates next time around. I like for my car to ride like a chariot.

Function Form Type II's
LOVE THEM.
Although you should ask for them in 12K up front and 10K in rear. (perfect street and track setup)
Currently running 12K and 14K rear

 

Wow, that's really sharp! Tastefully done.

That setup is ~$900 new from HT sponsors, so it's really not horrible.

 

didnt they discontinue the OMNI's for the accord a little while back? last time I was looking around I could not find anyone with them.

I looked last night and came up with nothing. They never offered an adjustable shock for the CD chassis either. No accord love from Omni.

Since Omni gave up on us, I would probably recommend the Function Forms Type II. My buddy has them on his hatch, and they are great. Adjustable shocks are nice to have if you use your car for various types of driving.

 

KSports are great,my friend has those. They run close to 750, though so a little more than some other setups.

 

yea i dont think i got ripped off.

 

SneezinCD5, your accord is sick !

I think GC with Konis are a good deal for an affordable price.

KSports are great too.

Just don't get ebay. haha

 

you can get some tein basic coilovers from http://www.optionimports.com and put in the coupon code of teinfreeship and get free shipping. total price....$650

i have those currently

 

i agree that is a clean *** cd...

 

Thanks, I miss dirving it. She's been sitting in the garage for almost 2 years now. Put maybe 50 miles on her in that time.
