Good Ride and 1-2 finger gap...Possible??

i have done numerous searches on this and have learned alot but need to have my own post.

I want to lower my car to a 1 or tight 2 finger gap.

I have 18" giovannas.

I want the ride to be very good, i personally don't care about the handeling I JUST WANT GOOD RIDE QUALITY, minimal bouncing and knocking around, i don't wanna feel the bumps in the rode, although the 40 series tires i can deal witha nd don't bother me.

What kinda drop is gonna get me here?
Will sportlines and koni yellows get the job done?
554 and 190 comes to about 740 or so plus 120 for specialty camber kit off group buy. =860!

OR

APEXi WS dampers

i think are 917 shipped and plus 120 for camber kit. I would only adjust the height once to get it to a 1 finger gap whatever inches that is.
=1040


SO which is gonna give me the results I want???? THANKS for the help and sorry for the long post!

P.S. O yea i am planning on doing 2 washers on the stock bolts in the rear....any objections to this, trouble etc...

Also specialty camber kits, any good better than ingalls? THANKS

Thanks UGABrad for hookin me up wit the install!!!

I cant say for sure because i have never rode in an accord but i can say that my sportlines and koni yellows are the best investment on my civic. And i believe on an accord that would get you within about 1-2 finger gap. warning... its known for eibach sportline springs to lower a little more in the rear compared to the front. you can see on my civic. I'm not sure if the issue is the same with accords. its not really noticable. And as you already know the koni yellows are adjustible and if any bouncing accours you could always stiffen it up a bit. If your not planning on adjusting the height i dont see waisting the money for the coilovers. just my 2 pennies.

Because it greatly increases body roll and air doesn't compress (absorb shock) the same way viscous oil does.
