Default in-need of strut info

I have a 97 accord lx 4-door and have neuspeed springs(2.0) inch drop and kyb non-adjustable struts, my problem is that the suspension is way to soft. I was wondering if anyone knew of what kind of struts would be good for the neuspeed springs, or if the neuspeed springs are not the right kind of springs for the stiffer ride..any info would be appreciated.

A friend of mine bought some Neuspeed springs for his '96 Accord 4-door and coupled them with some Tokico N/A, and they too were soft. Futher research led me to find that Neuspeed springs tend to be on the softer side to begin with. If shocks aren't the problem, then you may need to go with stiffer springs, i.e. Eibachs, H&Rs, etc. Good Luck!

Lets get this straight. One of the best performing setups for street use and economic wise is Eibach Pro-kit and KYB AGX shocks. You can get the springs with custom rates (I think) and the KYB AGX shocks are 4-way front adjustable and 8-way rear adjustable where 1 being stock setting.

I'm not sure whether you can get custom rates with the Pro-kit per se, but I do know Eibach makes custom rates and if you buy from them or a distributor (not tirerack), they can make just about anything for you.
