I'm tempted to get them mostly because the car is cornering like a big old cadillac, and I'm not talking about the new ones. It dips pretty hard into the turns. My wife drives a Nissan Altima and it is way stiff and steady around turns. But I don't think the accord is meant to be quite as sporty as the Altima so I could be full of it. So this is a possible DIY job? I've done quite a bit of work on my Accord but not much suspension work. I've read the Hayes manual and it doesn't seem to bad.
Well, in that case if you want hard cornering go for new sway bars at least a rear sway bar anyways. Buy that first and if you have anything left over then buy your struts/shocks. A new sway bar will make a world of difference. It's the single most cost effective (and fun) mod you'll ever do.
