Default Suspension Help

I have a 2000 Accord Coupe...and I just bought some Ground Control coilovers and i need some opinions.

What type of shocks would work best, yet give a smooth ride?

Are Ground Controls any good?

Will I need and front and rear camber kit and whats a good reasonable price brand?

Thanks for the advise and help
I just don't want to waste money and time on BS, when I can do it right from the start.....

The best advice I can give...is to use the SEARCH function. This topic has been beaten to the ground with a stick! hehe. All the info you need can be found with the search.

....
I prefer straight springs like H&R or Eibach's over the GC w/ Eibach's but they should be ok.

I'd use Koni Yellows [www.shox.com] (sports) I recommend an Eibach rear camber kit[www.tirerack.com], the front will be fine.

And as other's have said look for suspension info via search.

I know this isn't the for sale forum but I'm trying to help him out. I have a set of Koni yellows neuspeed edition for sale I used them for less than a month. After you do a search you'll come to find out that they are considered as one of the best. Shox.com sells them for "$644 free shipping." There is nothing wrong with them I just want to switch to a coilover system and I need to sell them soon. How about $460 shipped. PM me if interested.

no(I would recommend either springs or a full coilover setup.)
only if you drop past 1.5in in the front and rear.

someone needs to sticky that suspension faq that was posted a little while ago. It sees like every other day we get the same suspension question. Spring shock or coilover. GC or regular. Eibach or H&R. blah blah blah

ground control with koni's will be the best setup... if you buy a complete kit from ground control, they use koni's as well..

If you have already bought the ground controls you have to check to see what shocks they are capable working with. I know that there are at least 2 maybe 3 different ground control setups for the accords. Ground controls a have different setup for Koni Yellow shocks and you have to make sure you get that setup if you run koni's. Right now I am running Neuspeed Race with Koni yellows and Ingalls Cambers. I will be switching to Ground Control Coils soon as I get the time to install them. Like the rest of the people here have said do a little research on this forum with the search or on the internet and you will find out everything that you need to know.
