if you want to make an accord handle dramatically better, drop it on some h&r springs or neuspeed sports. you wont need to run aftermarket struts.
full coilovers are really overkill for a street car. i wouldnt reccomend them unless u have cash to burn
And that would be why I am swapping the 98 Prelude suspension parts directly onto my 94 Accord...because they aren't interchangeable and they are so different in design
Direct bolt in my friend...same chassis setup.
As for the Integra and Accord comment
I agree those two are completely different....but the Integra and the Civic are the exact same no matter what you want to think.
This is part of what pissed people off about Honda for a while...the cars were different in styling but almost no improvements to the rest of the ar and using old chassis designs that were equivelent to a cheaper or more sedate model.
