Oh yeah, and I have had my eibach pro-kit on my accord for two years now, still running on the stock shocks. they haven't blown but in the recent months i've got to say that the ride has been getting a bit stiffer.
i may see new aftermarket shocks in the upcoming year. - but two years on the stock ones with no problems have made me a true believer in the eibach design...that and the abuse I put them through when i go through mountain rallying.

that doesn't make sense. if your shocks were going your shiz would get bouncy as hell, but not stiff.

And for those guys who say they got a lot of hp out of it. Show me a dynograph for one thing. In the previous that they had tons of dynographs. THe hp gains were not worth the cost of I/H/E. You graph may say you got more hp, but that' be peak, which maybe lasted for a 100 rpm, but then if you looked on the graph, you could see you'd lose power else where on the graph.
Point in short. I/h/E is not worth it.
If I were I'd focus a lot on suspension, and tires, and rims. That's give you a significant change on how your car behaves, and as your first mods, it's nice to notice a difference in your car.
I have and intake and an exhaust, but not for power. All looks. After you get your suspension setup, get one of these, but I'm tellin' you, the cost isn't worth the expense.

i dropped my car on neuspeed sports and tokicos first, then put my apexi ws/dc cc header later on down the road. next is NX wet n2o kit :thumbup:
look and handle good, b4 sounding gound.
accord dropped and no exhaust is koo. accord w/ exhaust on stock 4x4 height looks nasty.

Just buy a manual, a floor jack and some jack stands and then all you need is a 14mm, a 17mm socket/wrench and rent a spring compressor.
Actual I don't know the year or trim of accord in question, but I know mine has 4 12mm bolts up there. The allen tools that fit the top of the struts makes it a lot easier too, unless you have phnematic tools.
