Default 2010 Accord V-6 Sedan Suspension Upgrades?

I have a 2010 V-6 Accord sedan. It's okay, but the suspension is a little too soft. I'm looking for a mild upgrade, maybe adjustable shocks, to make it a little stiffer but not rock hard. There must be lots of stuff out there, but I'm not finding it, and I was disappointed to see that Mugen is only selling silly accessories from what I can see.

Anyone have recommendations for a mild suspension upgrade?

TIA

There are no aftermarket shocks for the G8 Accord (yet). Probably because it's still too new, there is not much a demand for replacement shocks. So they don't make them.

Your only options are coilover systems. I would not do springs only on such a heavy car. Others have done only springs, but I assume as a new Accord owner, you want to keep the mature composure of the car.

So you think the suspension is "soft?"

You may also consider some 18" wheels with lower profile tires in the future.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply and good advice. Yup, it's a bit "floaty" as one reviewer put it. I'm just looking for a little more road feel, not necessarily to lower it.

225/55/17 will soften it. Lexus ES350 uses that size.

I'm sure more options are coming, but Eibach has their Pro Kit springs available now for the 2010:

08-09-10-11 springs are the same. The company may not have updated their product listed, but guys are already dumping their 10 Accords on springs listed for 08+.
