Ebay! Lots of choices there. I don't think your accord is terribly different from the US model when it comes to suspension. Anyway, I upgraded my suspension after looking at all sorts of combinations. Not a big fan of coilovers, Skunk 2 and Ground control I think are the best bets from what I hear. I went with KYB GR2s all around, Tein H-spec springs, and all new hardward, including OEM pillow mounts all the way around. I only wanted a 1.2" drop in the front and 1" in the rear (the roads are bad enough around here). I also rebuilt my braking system going with AEM pads, Magnum cross drilled rotors, and G-stop ss lines. Like the braking, virtually no dust, slight hissing (from the cross drilling), and very little noise. The ride is firm but not stiff...a lot like my wife's 2004 BMW 530i believe it or not, and I can take her down in the corners because I like to drift and I am looking for an excuse to get the Lotus Elise. The Tein H spec drop is clean, no wheel rubbing, not slammed, nice smooth responsive ride. I think I spent about $1300 in parts (shipping too) and rebuilt my shock and springs system and brake system. And, I didn't need camber kits!!!! At least I don't think so...I'll watch my wheel wear closely. Take your time and choose carefully.
