Default dropped 03 accord

what do you guys think about ground control coilovers on an 03 accord coupe? I want coilovers that aren't too expensive but aren't too cheap....I also only want to spend a 400 dollar limit...need some feedback and/or suggestions..thanx

make sure you get some good shocks... but i would recommend saving up some more $$ and get the tein coilover/shock combination... invest in a camber kit and front strut tower brace and your car should be much funner to drive... i have neuspeed race spring/bilstein sport shock/eibach camber kit (rear)/neuspeed front strut tower brace and i enjoy every single curve out on the road.

No, but it will prolly wear ur struts out pretty quick, and may eat your tires up depending on how low you drop it. Just get an alignment after you get it done.

no, but sooner or later, the stock shocks will have too much travel and they'll bottom out, plus i don't know about ground controls, but on the race springs, they were so stiff that the stock shock can't keep up with the springs so you'll experience some bounce.... but if you want to do suspension do it right the first time because not only will it enhance performance, but its also SAFETY
