Suspension for 97 Accord?...
I am trying to decide what suspension to get for my 97 Accord. I am either going to go with Eibach Pro-kits, H&R Sports, or Apexi World Sport coilovers. If I go with either the Eibachs or H&R's, I'm trying to decide between the KYB AGX or Tokico Illumina shocks.
My first priority is ride comfort. To give an example of what I feel is comfortable...My cousin has an '04 Civic on Sportlines and they felt pretty good. Not sure what shocks he had. Only time they felt worse than stock, was when going over an abrupt bump, normal road bumps felt fine. I also want good handling and looks. The H&R's lower the car more than the Eibachs, so would I have a problem on the street and do they require a camber kit? I'm looking into the Apexi WS, because I've heard they ride real smooth, are well priced and during the winter I could raise the car a little. Thanks for any advice and help on choosing what would be a good choice. |

If I had to pick
H&R's with Illuminas Don't drop more than 2" or camber kits will be an issue. |

Thanks Jackasssi.
I've also looked at Vogtland springs. They seem to get really good reviews. The only thing that makes me nervous is they drop 1.8". That seems pretty drastic. Would I regret that kind of drop for a daily driver? I don't want my car so low that it isn't fun to drive anymore, but I also want to drop it enough that I can tell something has been done both cosmetically and performancely (is that a word?). The Accord has horrible wheel well gap, that I want to get rid of. |

Re: Suspension for 97 Accord?...
I never heard of Vogtland. Around 1.5" drop is good for daily driving anything more is usually pretty harsh, unless a nice set of true coilovers is used. I feel truecoilovers are overkill for street use but if you can afford & setup properly, why not?

Re: Suspension for 97 Accord?...
I would say if you can afford them go with the Apexi ws. If you want the hight adjustability so you can raise for the winter that would be the best choice. Also look into tein ss if you go the coil rout. I think they are in the same price range as the WS. Just another option. Good luck
