Default What suspension setup is better?

What kind of suspension setup would be best for the accord. I still want to be able to go over speed bumps and maybe put 17's on them. Since I'm in school The car would be full at certain times of the year with junk, but thats only on holidays.
I want to know what would be better springs or coilovers?

Well full coil overs like Tein SS are kick ***. Better than springs and struts because they were built to work with each other. Other wise go with something like KYB or Tokico struts with like Tein or H&R spring set up. But search i know their are a buch of threads on this.

I have the Tokico Illumina's and Skunk 2(Eibach) Springs on a 94' Accord my 17's look great and the car handles awesome. Smooth ride and great on the highway. Even when I have the car loaded I still can hit those exits. Great choice...

any decent brand of springs/coil-over sleeves with less than a 2" drop and a good set of shocks will suffice.

or a full-coilover suspension if you have the cash.

do a search to figure out what springs to get, there's about 5,000,000,000 threads about it in this forum alone.

I have a 95' 5spd accord coupe with 17inch konig traffic rims, that i just recently did the suspension on. I used tein super street strut and coil over assembly (with the 16 levels of damper control), suspension techniques front and rear sway bars, and dc sport front and rear strut bars. That set up is amazing, it has awesome handling, it rides like a sports car, and i use it every day over speed bumps.

If you really want a good suspension i would say that you should get Tein RA. those are the best ones that i have seen and felt. My friend put that in his car and his car rides like a dream.
