Default Lowered 2002 accord

with an eibach pro kit lowering springs would the ride be harsh?

I've seen a lot of happy people running Eibach springs.

Btw. I love your user name endlessly.

In my opinion Eibach is a good choice, ride is stiffer then stock but not too harsh!

Eibach is good, no doubt about that. But for the price they're asking, if it were me, I would save the money and put it towards some full coilovers.

I agree with Aradin, coilovers are a lot better and you can get softer riding ones if you prefer the stock feel! plus if you get bored of that ride height it's so easy to change...LOL

Coilovers are way better and worth the extra expense for adjustability and damper control.
AMRs are the best i have them on my 02 accord coupe and just a few ticks on damper and the ride is soo soft.

Think about coils especially if you live in a a city where it snows and you'll be changing from rims to winter rims.

a good set of coilovers would have damper control along with adjustability, i'd say around 1200 bux

People also run Koni yellows with ground control springs all the time.

Tein coilovers for the 6th gens are roughly $1600. If your car is a DD and you want comfort more than performance, I'd say stick with getting the Eibach springs

You're right, I forgot Tein made more than one coilover for the CG chassis. I just checked and we're both slightly off according to their website. The basic set is $700, then there's $940, then $1390. So if you're willing to spend that much, I guess Tein could be something that interests you. I don't know a lot about their products though, I'm just getting the Eibach springs for my DD Accord.

I bet you'll be fairly pleased. Unless you will be going to the track or your DD is a show car I can't foresee spending that much on a single suspension component.

Keep in mind AMR Coilovers are Lifetime Warranty custom made, yet will take a LONG *** time to get delivered roughly few months.
