Default Suspension Reccomendations

Hey guys. I have a 95 accord ex coupe. It has stock suspension right now, but I want a small drop on it. I would like to lower it without having to put a camber kit on it. I go to Lincoln Tech so I can get free alignment. Any suggestions on shocks and springs? I was considering skunk2 shocks and maybe the skunk2 coilovers or the eibach pro kit. Trying to spend under $500 right now.

I have researched bro, I mean I am just seeing if anyone has had any problems with skunk2 suspension products, or suggest any products for a small drop. Anyone know what the minimum drop for coilovers are? I know they can drop up to or over 3.00" but what is the minimum?

I have been running the Skunk 2 Sport struts and the Skunk2 2"drop Lowering springs without any problems for awhile now.
Neither the Skunk 2 or the Eibach PRO are "small drops".

ground control offers a set of coilovers that has a 0.5 to 3.5 inch drop they cost $353 and that is shipping included you can get those at www.ground-control-store.com and you can get some kyb GR2 (non adjustable) shocks for $150 that includes shipping also and you can get those at www.optionimports.com i would personally recommend that set-up over the skunk2

Hey Brad, I thought that the Eibach Pro's were like a 1 inch - 1 1/2 inch drop where as skunk2 is 2"+? And did you do a camber kit with the skunk2 lowering springs?

I was looking at this, looks like a good setup personally. And one question about coilovers, do you need to take the whole strut out to adjust them or can you jack the car up, take the wheel off and just adjust it there when its in?

I'd go with the prokits. I've got it running and stock shocks. No camber kit needed. Not too low to scrape all the time, while giving you a nice stance. I got my Pro-Kits for $113 new from Partsamerica.com I believe they no longer offer it.

Cool, I may consider that then, I still may do new struts though, not sure though. But thanks for the input bro.
