Default My '95 accord. With new parts = new look. (56k wait a little)

I recently fixed up my suspension. New shocks, CV joint/axles, tie rods, & replaced my passenger side upper control arm. My current passenger front camber kit is messedup (specialty products), so I just bought a new Ingalls camber kit (front & rear). Cleared my stock taillights...old rims just chilling in my garage hehe.

Shocks = KYB AGXs.
New rims = 17inch Velox vx-6r.
Tires = 205/45/17 Yokohama AVS ES100.

ENJOY, comments welcome, good or bad

100x better looking than the old style!

now your ride looks into import scene rather than looking like 50% import + 50% domestic look just because of the rims you had... it's just my person point of view.

Thanx. Yeah it kind of broke into 2 pieces, the inner core sort of came off from the camber kit. I think it was probably from my bad passenger side control arm, the ball joint was a little loose + along with a terrible alignment from installing the shocks + tie rods. I drove on the bad alignment for like 2-3days and all of a sudden it made clanking noises. I'm hoping the Ingalls will be a lot better--especially with the rubber bushings

As i save up some more $, I'm planning to get Blackhousing headlights + probably 4500k HIDs and the A'pexi World Sport exhaust.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! not really!, I always wanted a new set of rims. I've saved up the money for some but i couldn't find a set i wanted & along with being able to afford them hehe. I was about to order a set of Racing Hart CP8s in bronze but they were out of stock + I also found out they were discontinued so I didnt get them. Good thing these rims look pretty good b/c I would've been screwed since I never saw them in person! hahah

I started off just buying new shocks for my car ($340 set), when i started to install them, I realized one of my CV boots were busted and the other boot was cracking. So my dad bought me new CV joints/axles ($140) and new tie rods ($65). The passenger side control arm replacement ($35)....just wont lil problem led to another...realignment ($85). I was then like hmm i really like these Velox's...they're only 16.5lbs too for 17s! so i got them for $550 shipped & tires for $399, mounted for $84 freaking couldnt find a place to mount them for a cheap price. oh well I'm happy!

_yeah so now I need to save up $. one more of my future mods will be the 96-97 front end conversion, i know it wont be more agressive, but hey, i like the clean look of it haha. I will then borrow my friends paint gun and paint all the black pieces on my car

I have a 96 Accord and lookin to do a suspension upgrade. How do you like the shocks? Do they ride well? Are they adjustable and are you runnin coilovers? Like Skunk 2's or something.

The shocks are pretty good for the amount you pay for. They ride pretty good after you break them in. I'm on ground control coils & the shocks are adjustables.
How low is your car?

My car is too low lol. I have H&R Race Springs. I've just been too lazy to take them out. I got a new kit and some 18" for my Accord, but I need to finish up my civic before I can take the Accord off the road for fixing. I'm going to raise the car back up once I get the kit and wheels put on. I don't think I will have to lower it much. I rather drop it 1" rather than having it at 2.5" which is where it is now I believe. It's just too bouncy and I believe my shocks are just burnt out.
