I am looking for info on a 90-93 accord aftermarket suspension, Who makes the best springs and struts. What are some good setups, and where can i get them for relativly cheap.

Story: I dont drive a 4th gen however a good freind of mine does, he needs new struts, so we are going to mod his car.

 

I am running ground control coil-overs with tokico blues. A classic set up but it feels nice.

 

Well I'm running just Ground Control Coilovers cause I didn't have the money for struts at the time. Trust me make sure you change your struts on a car like a 4th gen accord that is definately atleast 10 years old then the struts are for sure probaly shot and if they are not then they will be when you lower it. I found out the hard way when they where leaking when I took them off. Make sure you get good struts possibly...Koni Yellows they are rebuildable and the best.

 

are these mods for autocross/track days or for just street driving?

 

What would be the best struts for a 4" drop? Oh yeah, I also have a really shitty spring rate. Way, way too soft.

 

its a street setup we are looking for. The reason we are putting the suspension on is because the struts are blown. Any other decent combos?

 

mugen 9161, 4" drop? holy crap that's low... TOO low! guess what buddy, if you want that 4" drop you need those stiff springs to keep your belly off the ground.

damn dude, do you even clear those reflectors that mark off lanes? to me just 2" was a big pain in the ***.

chronicsinners, you'll get a lot of opinions here but for a very reliable cheap suspension eibach and KYB. if you get a shop to install it it should run you about $800 done right, but no camber kit. it's sooooo easy to do yourself though, all you need is a basic ratchet set, rent a spring compressor, a torque wrench and ball joint remover. you need a bit of mechanical ability to do this, but it'll save you quite a # of $$$$$$$$$$$$$. i can get the torque specs if you need them.

i almost forgot, if you DO decide to do it yourself, MAKE SURE YOU GET IT ALIGNED!!!!!! immediately after installing it

"MAKE SURE YOU GET IT ALIGNED!!!!!! immediately after installing it"
wrong..let it settle for 1-2 weeks.
no hard driving during waiting period..

 

Alignment, yes definitely. I did mine immediately after, and then about three weeks later. It changed slightly within that three week period.

 

ok what are some good prices with the eibach/kyb setup. btw i will be doing the work, honda suspensions are nothing new to me.
