If you really want to do it right, then match those sport springs with some good performance shocks like Koni, Bilstien, or Tokico Illuminas.

Even though the stock shocks can handle a mild sport spring pretty easily, there are some advantages to the performance shocks:

Better handling, less chance of having a shock blow, etc.

The othe big advantage is that it's the same amount of work to change the springs only, or the springs and shocks. So while you are in there tearing it all apart, it's a great time to install some perfomance shocks. Or if you are paying for it...that would mean you would only pay for one install instead of two, and one less alignment as well.

You can get some good sport shocks for $400-550, and in the grand scheme of things...if you can buy a 7th gen Accord, you can afford some sport shocks to go along with your springs.

Teins aren't quite as proven as brands like Eibach and H&R, but I haven't really heard anything bad about them.

A spring and shock combo works for most people, but if you think you'll want to change the height of the car for any reason, etc...then you might also consider some coil-overs. Tein Basics or Tein SS can be had for about $600-900 from what I've seen. Other companies will offer a spring and shock combo...I've seen some on Tirerack for Accords.

I'd look at a buch of 7th gen Accords online, find out what look you like best (taking things like bodykits and aftermarket wheels into account that can change how low a car looks) and you'll get an idea of what springs you think look good.

Personally I'd just go with some sport springs like Eibach Pro-kit, H&R sports, those Teins would probably be fine, and mate them to some performance shocks of your liking. Not a whole lot of loss in ride quality, but greatly improved looks and handling.

 

I just looked into these and thought about buying them. They are suppose to give 1" drop and are genuine hondas. The price is good, Wont have to worry about the resale value since they are OEM and I think the handling and ride would be great.

Thats the kinda look I want. I have 17s so I think It will come up similar.

 

Those wheels are go gorgeous...a kid here has them on his black Prelude :yumyum:

I like the HFP kit but it's not as stiff as some of the aftermarket stuff. I've read it's a very good balance between ride comfort and superior handling.

 

So you think I should go for it cause everyone keep telling me about not to install the aftermarket shocks because the resale value will go down. I dont think I have to worry about that with the HFP kit.

Sorry I keep bringing up this topic, its just that i want to do it right,not spend whole bunch of money and get a good resale value as well.

 

yeah I'd go with it man...full Honda warranty and I doubt you'll lose any resale. It's a pretty modest drop.

 

tokico hp shocks are decent.... best bang for the buck in terms of suspension IMO
