I currently have a 1996 Honda Accord. To my knowledge it still has stock springs/struts whatever u calll them. I would like to get rid of the wheel gap. It has 15" wheels and my guess is that there is about 2 inches of gap. I dont feel like dropping alot of money in suspension. I just would like to get rid of it. I could probably spend about 100.00 on it right now. I know that alot of people have used coil-overs, which i have heard good and bad? What is a good setup. I know if you go too low that the axels will straighten and then if you hit a bump they will crack the tranny case. Happened to my friend, he has the same car? So what should I do.... Suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

If you are short on cash you would be best off with the Eibach prokit. The main goal of this setup is to eliminate the wheel gap and not kill your stock shocks.

Nevermind coilover sleeves or true coilovers, if you have no money.
The costs alone on camber kits and alignments are more headaches thanm they are worth.

Well... What can I do.. I definitly want to get rid of the wheel gap. What do you suggest. I can get the car aligned etc.. no problem. But to just get rid of the gap what is the best thing to do? I dont want to spend like 500.00 I was thinking more like 200.00 but let me know.

I have been saying this a lot. On stock shocks the prokit is the safest softest way to drop your car and eliminate wheel gap.
(and cheapest)

Ok and so I buy the prokit, which is just springs? Are they easy to put on... And any things I half to worry about? What is the process.
