Help me decide guys!
Ok guys. The car i got is on my sig. Im lookin at either Koni shocks/H&R OE springs or apexi coilovers.
I am looking for a stock ride with a small drop just to get ride of the huge wheelwell gap. And, i dont want just springs. I want to do it rite the first time, either springs/shocks together..or real coilovers, not just sleeve types. Also, i dont want the front looking higher than than the back, like wat prokits do..and i want it low enuff so that the gap looks normal, but not low enuff so that i will smash into a concrete block when im pulling in to a parking spot.
With the springs/shocks..its is couple hundred bucks cheaper and i will be suck with the height, whether i like it or not
With the coilovers, its more expensive but i get to adjust the height. but i hear the coilovers will rust..and that they will give a harsh ride..
opinions and comments please.. thanks!

i hate to say it, but the accord suspension is to grandma cushy stock, when you drop it, it will never ride like stock again, cause stock sucks, anyway, if you are looking for some level of comfort stay away from coilovers, oh and h&r oe springs will not do diddley squat bout removing your fenderwell gap
This is my set up for my 94 LX.
Used Koni yellows for $200. Stock Springs, the front is lowered max and the rear halfway (the koni's have adjustable spring perches up to about an inch). On 16" CL rims. And an EX rear sway bar.
I think mine has the look you're interested in. Kind of factory but a tad more agressive, not slammed. The ride is firmer, but still very decent. Still family practical and it handles a lot better. I wasn't going for race car handling, more like stock prelude handling.

jdmbike: nice post..thats the type of info i was hoping to get.. do you have pics of the wheelwell gap? how do you lower it with the adjustable spring perch? how does it work?
so..your front is lowered 1" and the rear is 1/2"?
