Default Suspension suggestions!

Skunk2 coilovers or ground controls ?

Skunkworks also has Drag Launch coilovers.. no application for the Accord, I wonder if it would fit anyway.

I need it to be stiff. I also have Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks.
Suggestions ? Experiences ?

What's your price range?

IMO, Ground Control is good if you don't want better handling but just want to keep the soft ride along with a lowered look. I had GC's on my '00 Accord and the ride did not feel much stiffer (of course I was using stock shocks) which is what I wanted anyway.

Up to 400$ for a coilover kit. I don't want to be unhappy with the kit if I buy it. So hopefully it won't squeek or cause me any grief.

I NEED a stiff set though..

I think Eibach Pro-Kit is a good stiff springs for the street, but i know there are others that are good too, so how much you want to drop your car?

If you're going to spend up to $400 for coil over kit, and you'll most likely spend another $400 or so for shocks, why not just get a full coilover system for a couple more hundred?

I got a friend who has a 93 SE, I would have to check but I am 99% sure he is running the F22B. Was supposedly only avalible in the SE that year. Not sure though, havent done much research on that year range. Own a 00 personally. Anyways, how much are you selling your engine and head unit for?
