Hi i have a 1995 Honda Accord Ex. I'm looking for some good track shock & spring. i have a budget 1.5K. i never bought shock & spring and never use anything but OEM. so i dont know where to start.

 

what kinda racing?

 

Moton, Ohlins, etc..

Oh, never mind then.

 

Lol good answer. With that budget Koni/Ground Control and poly or spherical bushings.

 

Give AMR a look.

 

koni /gc if you want to save some of that money

amr if you don't

should be happy with either one. why do you want to spend the cash on that car though? the accord is one of the worst in the honda lineup to try and make quick.

 

i would like to go on like race course. i been looking and looking for good shock and spring. but the bust way to see is it good, Is not by reading what people say. you need to use it and feel how it is. that's why if im going to buy one why not a good one. you guy used it before. i will take a look at AMR. i love the dc7 accord.

 

You can still reach a 1.5k budget and still have a great handling ride. First thing i would suggest is to replace all of your bushings and ball joints. i would say get a subframe brace or mid brace to help stiffen up the car a bit. (im not sure what they have for accords, but they are pretty similar to the prelude i would imagine) Or you can always have a shop weld up something its not hard to make a custom brace just have to be sure to place it in the right spot or it wont do anything to support the car.

You should pick up some sway bars. Now... to some, the prelude/accord and the way it handles like to keep the front sway bar stock with tight bushings, and just replace the rear sway so that the rear end is a little stiffer but it all depends on how you drive and like your car to handle, but it would save a few bucks there. Pick up some LCAs or Lower control arms so that you have some adjustment control (if they make them for your car but i dont think there are any) Then, a 3 point strut for the front (that connects to the firewall or else its pointless, 4 point for the rear in the trunk i have found that helps to really stiffen up the car. Aftermarket engine mounts are important, drop the main subframe thing in the front and replace with a traction bar system. eBay ones are ok, its just a simple steel bar that connects to the LCAs but, the explicitspeedperformance ones are a little stronger (although ive never seen one actually break except once and it was only the lca bracket weld which was easily fixable) and also have the engine mount support in the middle of the bar which does help...

The springs and struts, if your racing i would recommend a good set of coilovers for the ability to adjust. I don't have coilovers, i just have an ok set of Tokico struts and Eibach pro springs and it still handles amazing at the track although i really wish i had the ability to adjust. I like how Ksport coilovers ride so ill prob upgrade to those eventually but those wont fit in your 1.5k budget. Get name brand dont buy the Chinese eBay crap.

Good racing to you

 

thank. i looked up the AMR suspension, they look good but anyone use it and how was it? the sways and the sturts are coming next. i have a stock s2k i raned in the track, i run the car to it's max. the s2k is bulid stock good like that. i would like to bulid it better then the stock s2k.

 

There is quite a few people on here who run them, hopefully they will chime in.
I will hopefully be picking some up next, Give andy a call.

My friend has them currently, only has a few miles on them due to some other suspension issues, but he loves them. He promised he would never run anything anything but AMR, as long as he can get them lol.

 

with 1.5k you should get koni/gc, swaybars, and replace all of your bushings. Maybe even get a carbing or pwjdm front upper strut bar and solidify things.

 

i dont know about koni for the thing im going to be doing. but i never use them before so i can say nothing bad about them. i know they come out with a FSD one, they dont make one for my car. after looking up on the AMR they look like they can work for me. im going with the AMR for now but if there a better one im up to reconsider it.

 

I'm confused.

 

FSD is for street cars, not really track use as much.
Loved them on my A4 though...
