Koni yellows are the best you can get, but you will pay a lot for them. Whoever said shocks didn't matter don't understand what they are talking about. People that ghetto lower their car (i.e.-2 inch drop on stock shocks) don't really care about performance, they are only going for the "look" . Its funny, everytime I see a car dropped that much they usually don't have aftermarket shocks, and you can see the car bouncing all over the road, it's very noticable if you look. I have tokico illuminas and they are great, got them for about 440 shipped, which isn't too bad. Of course I'm only lowered 1.25 inches, but they really make for a nice ride, and having the option to adjust them is nice, although I don't do it often. Stock shocks are made to please the people who usually drive accords (elderly people!), they are meant for a nice cushy ride, not to be dropped 2 inches or more.
