i want a smooth ride but i am hearing diffrent stories about springs ,coilover,shock and i realy don't want to spend so much money on them i was told H&R lowerings srpings racing and and also skunk2 coil over i want a nice drop still i wonder if 2 inch drop will be good enough and for the coil over i don't want a bumpy ride i am not in to the racing just looks for my accord and its a 96 coupe well help me out please thanks give me a good setup opinion

 

1) "you get what you pay for" ---remember this.
2) your always gonna get the bounce switching from OEM
3) "you get what you pay for"
4) coil overs mean you can rise and lower the ride; so if your in a snow region you best get coil overs so you can raise your ride
5) oh yeah....did i forget to say...."you get what you pay for"


i got coil overs with tokico's and the ride is bouncy...too bouncy for my liking.
i need a fix. i want new coil overs. the shocks i think are okay being tokico blue's.
hopefully someone will inform me of their opionions of the blue's

 

just make sure you dont get coilovers with stock stuts.get some agxs

tokico blues are ok, but not for anything more than 1.5inch drop or coilover sleeve setups.

 

I got blues with ground control coilovers... HATE HATE HATE the ride. I can't blame it 100% on the coilovers since this is the only setup i've ever riden on other than stock, but the blues are crap and i hear they don't last too long. Too damn bouncy. I'm thinking of switching to KYB AGX and just eibach sportlines.

Also i've ridden in my friend's 02 SER Spec-V with eibach springs (Stock shocks/struts)= beautiful ride... with Skunk2 coilovers its as bad as some of the 100 dollar coilover cars i've ridden in. I'm not exaggerating, it really is that horrible a ride.

 

^GCs are nice, replace the struts with koni yellows or tokico illuminas. i don't think AGXs are up for that task.

Skunk2 are good, but due to high spring rates they ride harsh.

 

is the H&R racing springs low enough on 18" ................lets say i get the H&R which is 2.2 front 2 rear would cutting the springs be good idea becuase the coil over has less coils which i hear is a nasty ride thats y i am leaning towards springs well soon as i get a good setup idea i will gladly accept it but so far i am still confused but thanks for the info still later

 

^cutting the springs is never a good idea

 

I have Tokico blues on mine with 1.5" drop Sprint springs. I can't really tell, the ride seems too soft, not exactly bouncy, but I think the spring rate is ok... but probably could use more damping force from the Blues. If I could do it again, I'd go with Illuminas or something else that's adjustable.

 

I've got a used set of Ground Control coilovers for sale. 5 months on them. Let me know if your interested.

 

Coilovers arr better if you get true coilovers....not the sleeves that go over your stock struts. progress makes a good true coilover.

 

blues are not much stiffer than stock, waste of money

 

wha about tein springs are they good my mechanic recommending those over the H&R loweing springs tomorrow he is going to give me a price for my car buti am still doing my research .........so any input will be nice

 

H&R eibach mades quality goo spring, BUT you need to change your damper/shock along with it.

agx is a okay setup for accord, it's not as good like agx on civic and teg simply because the weight of accord.

tein basic coilover runs around 800-1000, rebuildable and it's a tuned setup with all the proper bells and whistles to keep us happy(when i say us, i mean..most street driven, weekend road course racer, drag, etc)

HOWEVER, Tein's Stech spring are CRAP

 

I don't think its ever a good idea to cut springs. Thats askign for trouble.
