Default What are some good shocks that will go with H+R sport springs?

Im looking to get the H+R sport springs for my accord soon. What are some good recomendations for shocks that are not crazy expensive but not cheap like ebay quality. Im just getting an idea of how much it will cost the fully lower the car......

Also I do not need the adjustable ones......

I have KYB AGX's and H&R Sports on my prelude and I LOOOVE them. They were really cheap on ebay too. I think I paid like 150 for the springs and 300 for the shocks.

Thats exactly how much they are each on ebay. Did you happen to use a camber kit or did you find that it wasnt necessary?

koni yellows are really nice on an accord

at the softest setting it rides pretty close to stock but you can get them quite stiff from there

I didn't get one just becuase most people said they are usually only necessary for a drop 2" or more. I'm sure one wouldn't hurt, but I'm not going to get one.

Don't always go by the 2" rule of thumb. Have an alignment shop check. Make sure you are within specs, not in the "red" area.

None. I just drove the car around for a while to let them settle, then took it in and got an alignment done.
