Default Help on deciding 1997 Accord suspension set-up...

Ok, im trying to decide on a suspension set-up for my g/f's 97 Accord. She is looking mainly to rid the gap with some 17's and a nice ride. Oh, and not wanting to spend an arm and a leg as well

I was looking at tirerack.com and they have the KYB GR-2's for $160 for everything (excluding shipping I believe) and H&R Sports for about $160.

Would this be a good set-up for her needs/wants? Would a camber kit be required for this? Anyone have personal experiences with this set-up?

Im also open to recommendations on what you think would be a good set-up. Thanks for your help guys

Well it's not really a little extra... It's $160 for the GR-2's vs. $340 for the AGX... Kind of on a limited budget here... But I did consider it though...

****EDIT****
Well she decided that she would be willing to spend NO more than $500... Can anyone recommed a set-up for that price? Something that won't require a camber kit too... I would really appreciate it... TIA guys

you can get h&r sport springs for 132.18 at adventon.com and the kyb agx shocks are 340 at tirerack (or u get them for 340 at coximport with free shipping i think) which will give u a nice setup for just below 500 dollars..plus it's the same setup as wat i'm planning on getting also

iam7head - just curious, why would you recommend eibach over h&r? I've heard some fairly good things about them myself... I personally am not really into eibachs... I mean ya there good springs, but I just never saw a car with eibachs that had a good stance. And ya, im not really into neuspeed either...

Thanks for the info guys, keep it commin!!
