Default best springs and shocks for the 6th gen accord?

i finally decided on upgrading my suspension on my 01 cord. many of my friends have 5th gen accord and they are using the kyb agx with eibach sportline springs. but i was told there's no kyb agx for the 6th gen accord. are they right? and if they are, what is the best setup? or what you 6th gen people are using.
thanks

Welcome Noob to HAN! Since I didn't care to much about adjustability, I use KYB GR2 shocks with Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my '00 Coupe. Ride and handling is great and much better than stock. I love it all. If you want a more aggressive approach...I'm sure someone else will post. Hehe

H&R with Koni yellows are supposed to be a good combo, Eibach, and Neuspeed springs are always a good choice as well. I'm riding on Tein SS coilovers and I'm loving the ride on them in my 6th gen. if you want coilovers, Tein SS, Tein Basics, and Apexi coilovers are reasonable and provide a real nice ride.

I have CL Type-S shocks, they're fine for me. I travel so many highway miles that I was looking for a ride on the softer side, but they're actually pretty stiff and very responsive. Plus they're cheap..got mine for $150 shipped and they had 2000 miles on them. Plus I know they'll last forever.

The Tokico suspension set imo is the bang for your buck. You get the Tokico blue shocks and sport line springs. Plus its smooth and great for daily driving.
