I just bought some 17's for my 97 accord and i would like to know if i should go with coilovers or lowering springs. I would like to maintain some of my ride quality and still look good. I want to keep the cost under $700

 

for ride quality, get a spring/shock set-up. coilover is for racing and you wont find a true coilover for 700 dollars.

 

How low should i go with spring/shock setup and still be able to get around in the snow? how much should i spend and what brands should i look at

does any one have the tokico spring and shock kit and how do they do for a daily driver

 

I have a 97 accord too and I had tokicos with skunkworks coilovers and they suck.Now I have kyb agx with H&R springs and they are dropped 1.5 and 1.7 and the ride quality is the **** I love the setup but it's kinda high. I hate having camber problems and a bad ride, botomming out, and having to worry about blowing my struts out so i'm sticking with shocks.But if you want coilovers I say go with Ground Control. I have the skunkworks for sale and a set of weaponR coilovers too PM me if interested.

 

I got Skunk2 Springs and they handle like a champ. Theyre a fairly new product and im very satisfied with the fit and quality. Im riding on Stock struts BTW for now untill i have enough to get Tokico 5 Ways. As far as snow goes, we just had 6 inches in STL and it was fine in the snow...other than the fact i was plowing snow almost everywhere i went ( 2.5 inch drop in front ) it was fine. Ingalls camber kit fixed up the camber nicely too.

 

i am leaning toward ground control coilovers with tokico illiminas does any body have that setup and how do they ride
