Go look at http://www.tirerack.com I found GR2's on there for my 92 Accord and they were about $30 each. Not sure if they're more for your year model. As for installation, just find a mechanic that you trust. Call around and ask them how much to install struts on your car. Make sure to tell them you already have the parts, you just need to know how much for the labor Or, get a spring compressor. Honda's are pretty easy to put struts on.

Go for koni if you have the extra bones to spend.
I am thinking of getting KYB after my stock shock blows.

I am running H&R Sports on KYB GR-2's on my 92 coupe, and it is a very comfortable ride. I wouldn't mind if it were a little stiffer, but for the price I paid for the struts ($150 for all 4) I am not complaining.

Depending on the stiffness of the springs that you have I would save and get the KYB adjustables, the KYB's are not that stiff of a strut in the first place. I know im kickin myself in the *** right now for buyin non-adjustables.

no, they aren't adjustable. as for the install cost, I paid $80 at a local tuner shop for them to install my shocks on my civic so I would imagine that it wouldn't be much more, if at all, to do the shocks on the accord.

hey bro, I wouldn't pay that much for these shocks, I found them at tirerack.com for my 94 accord for like $160 for the whole set. If you would spend that much for these, you might as well save like $100 more and get the adjustable AGX's. Just my .02
