accord springs

hey all, looking for some information on peeps w/ upgraded suspension on their accords, pref. between 90-93 so that I can compare more directly. I am looking at doing both shocks and struts, just debating on what springs to go w/ (eibach, tein, neuspeed) and struts (thinking kyb g2 gas). I am leaning toward eibach, but can't decide if it'll be too low for daily driving w/ all the speed bumps and such here in CO. Anyone want to put in their .02 it'd be appreciated.
BTW, riding on stock wheels for now if it makes any diff. to ya.

Re: accord springs (dd_biggy)

4th and 5th gen shared the same design in term of suspension, so anything up to 97 is good.

gr2 is stock replacement if I am not mistaken, try AGX shocks instead.

i would do eibach prokit with agx if i were you.
eibach-200
agx-300-350

tein s tech is junk from what i heard, but i dont have any personal experience with them

Re: accord springs (dd_biggy)

i ran on eibach sportlines on my 92 accord for a while. they rode almost like stock, which i, believe it or not, didn't like. for the driving that i do, eibachs were too soft. they are a very good spring nonetheless. it gets rid of that unsightly wheel gap as well. the sportlines do lower the car about 2" so if you're worried about clearance problems, maybe the eibach prokit is the way to go. i recommend any eibach springs for your situation. if you have the money, i say get koni sports (yellow) shocks/struts. they are adjustable. a lot of 4th gen accord owners knows that these shocks/struts work best with eibach springs.

actually, the spring rates from the factory are different between the two cars...the shocks are also a bit more dampened in the 5th gens...just thought i would clarify a bit...

also, get a set of full coilovers...matched springs to shocks with a ride height you want...can't get better than that!
