Re: These Coilovers any good>? (Lex4158)
You get what you paid for. They might be really stiff. just like if you didnt have a suspension at all, or they might be good. Or they can sag in a few days. Your money, try it out. I heard some people got good ones, but most of them are bad.
For me, I wouldn't trust those.

Re: (Lex4158)
not all coilovers are cheap ways of lowering your car.
coilovers give you the adjustablity of height. When looking for coilovers there are 2 types, sleeve types which will need to be coupled with new shocks. Which are the ones that you have in your ebay link. I would not get $20 coilovers. There are higher end sleeve coilovers like skunk2 or ground control, theses are closer to 250 and still require new shocks.
There are also full coilovers which are kinda like sleeves and shocks put together. Most of these are quality and any brand is pretty much good. Brands like Tien, Ksport, Onmi, Tanabe. They all make coilovers for accords which will run you anywhere from $500 and up.
choose wisely and dont cheap out when lowering your car. also get an alignment right after you do it or you'll ruin your tires

Exactly.
The ride will more than likely be horrible due to your stock shocks, and that's before they blow from you bottoming out depending on how low your car goes. Not worth it mang, just do it right the first time.

Re: These Coilovers any good>? (Adambomb)
It's funny because someone had a thread in the Accord section and I said pretty much the same thing you guys are saying about buying suspension off of ebay.I think that I was kind of mocked because I would rather pay a little more for some good **** from a reputable source rather than sifting and wading through all the BS to hopefully find one or two good deals on ebay,and pray that the stuff that I bought is accually as good as advertised.

Re: (Lex4158)
Everyone seems to rave about Tein SS coilovers,and Eibach lowering springs.Don't know what kind of car you are putting them on or if you are using them for the track or daily driving, so check the forums for your particular car and I'm sure you can find something good.
I have Ksports on a 94 Accord and I just use them for daily driving and they are great.

Re: (Zerophase)
PIC makes good coilovers... I have them and I love them.. theres acouple reviews on them... They only make them for certain models though so they may or may not have one for your application.
*Edit* I just read one of your posts and im pretty sure PIC doesnt make coilovers for an Accord so you might wanna go with the other companies that were previously posted.
