Default spring opinions

Looking for opinions on lowering springs... Want something that wont bounce me apart but will give me a significant lower stance and and handle tighter... and no i am not going with coilovers i am not investing $600-1000 in suspension on a $1000 car

well, if you do plan on lowering your car, its gonna run you close to $600 if you do it the RIGHT WAY...

lets see...

about $200 for springs...such as tien, tanabe, eibach, skunk2, h&r... http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Categories

about $185 for struts... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-4...Q5fAccessories

about $100 for a camber kit... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-97...item19b5cb3326

and about another $100 for an alignment...

if you wanna play, you gotta pay...

well my 94 only has 88k so stock struts are staying for now... and alignment will cost me about $10 in coffee for a tech in the back, I'm a salesman lol

I'm running Tein S Tech springs w/ blue tokico shocks on all four. Doesn't bounce. What year and trim Accord do you have though?

Mine's the gold one on the right with that rear bumper fog on:

i've subscribed to this thread to see what options are out there. i too am kinda in the same boat.

nus dogg, your stance looks great. how much rougher is the ride though, even though your not "bouncy"?

i (as do many other people) do not recommend re-using your stock struts w/ lowering springs... they will wear prematurely and you will have to remove them again to change them out...what a hassle..do it right the 1st time...

Noob here. Just got a 96 Accord DX sedan, and I'm in search of answers to get it built. But for now, just want to see what can be done in the suspension area
