i know a lot of yall have lowered accords...i dunno bout yalls but mine tends to be kinda jumpy over the littlest bumps..is there anything to reduce that? like a tie bar or sway bar?

 

how much did you lower your car? stock shocks?

 

i have ground control coilovers...so right now im 2 inches lower in the front and 1.5 in the back...prob 2 inches now with my system..and yes stock shocks..part of the problem?

 

yeah, its your shocks. Stock shocks can't handle lowering that well.

 

what kind would you recommend?

 

i have KYB AGXs and i love them, but for daily driving, any aftermarket brand will be ok. Tokico are prob the cheapest w/ KONIs being the most expensive.

 

yeah i heard tokico were the best for the price...would anything else help me?

 

not really. hrm, Do you know what your spring rates are?

 

umm...no clue...where can i find that out?

 

i think it says on the springs from GC, im not sure w/ their setup.

 

ok ill have to check it out....tomm def...way way to dark...

 

I installed my kit a couple of weeks ago and the springs had #s on them but not pound rates.

 

it's the spring rates... my Skunkworks coilovers have a high rebound rate, which is especially noticable in the rear... the way i look at it is this... try and push down on your car... notice that your suspension has no compression... so when it goes over an imperfection in the road, it follows the exact contour of that dip or bump... and that is passed on to the driver...

 

exactly..whenever i go over a bump its like the rear end off the car jumps up..is there anything to correct it??

 

yea, you need to find shocks that will dampen the spring rate of your springs sufficiently, i will be going to bilstein hd's next..

 

i guess thats what i gotta do then.....

 

I use Koni adjustables... would a softer shock help with the rebounding effect, or would my handling be compromised by going with another shock? After all, my shocks are four years old... but I don't want to have to sink the money in a new set of shocks if I don't have to (so I can put the money into other aspects of the car ).

 

get your shocks rebuilt

 

How much does rebuilding shocks cost, and what exactly is involved in the rebuilding process of the shocks?

 

so i guess what it all adds up it is i need to buy new shocks??
