Default So its time for some suspension work.

My 93 cb7 accord is getting to be very squeaky and my struts have to be getting to be garbage at this point.

I have about 600 i can spend on parts, to replace my struts but would also like to get low in the process.

With a $600 budget what would you guys go for?

I have been lookin at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SKUNK...Q5fAccessories and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KONI-...ht_2478wt_1165.

If anybody has any better ideas please let me know. I really wanna get lower,but my main concern is just fixin my shitty ride and squeakyness

Bushings. Struts (OEM type). That should get you right around 600 for the entire suspension.
$600 shocks won't do **** for your ride if there is a half in of play in your suspension components. Not to mention bushings are what squeaks.

I just purchased every bushing in my suspension set up - will install this weekend

like what chikin pickle said...squeaks = bushings....blown struts = bouncy rides.

Ill update how it goes after I replace them, Ive heard that it makes a huge difference and "tightens" it up.

Ok,well im gonna go about the bushings first,then i will get to work on possible lowering/struts after that.

Thanks for pointing me towards the bushings again,because that was my initial guess then i talked to a couple mechanics over the phone and they made me feel stupid for thinkin it wasnt my cv joint or my struts.
