Default Honda Accord 95 Coilovers?

Been looking for some BWR coils for my 95 accord. Anyone have these and have anything good or bad to say about them?
Or is anyone selling a used set of them? I just want to be able to adjust ride height and stiffness when I want but have a budget around $400-$500.
Thanks guys!

For that price point, you may be better served getting shocks and springs. Coilovers that are 'namebrand' in that pricerange are probably Function & Form Type 1

Well for used BWR coils are usually around $400-$500. But would you recommend function form ones?

They're another one of the cheap Taiwanese knock offs. Fuction & Form I lump in there too though some users have had luck with them.

I personally would save up and shoot for the $800-1000 range on something like suspension. Koni Yellows and Ground-Controls are about $800-900 shipped and are a far superior setup to F&F or BWR.

I should note, because I've taken flak for suggesting that before, that there are plenty of other options out there and they're not necessarily 'bad' suspension components. I would suggest you buy whatever new in case of damage or leaks from the previous owner.

If you search there's a lot of threads talking about it. One advantage to GC + KY is you can choose your spring rates. Some of those guys don't even advertise their spring rate.
