I just recently got my Black widow 1 kit installed with aBW 2 hood. I just recently moved to a moutainous area so I would like the opportunity to raise my car if needed. What brand of coilovers do you suggest. I would prefer to get Good ones not those cheap ones.. Full coil overs would be best as I have been lowered for over 2 years and my stock shocks have taken a beating already...

 

What year is your car?


I suggest Teins or Apexi WS

 

sorry forgot that part.. 2000 honda accord ex coupe

 

Well...then I personally suggest the Tein SS cuz I have them on my car and I really like the ride quality (plus it's damper adjustable).

But if you don't want to spend as much...then get the WS...I heard that it's already very close to stock ride.

I forgot to ask you how much you want to spend too?h:

 

What about the tanabe coil overs? Seen those around but haven't heard anything about them.

 

I got the A'pexi WS coilovers, it feels almost as good as stock. I didn't want a rough ride and I hear these were the best you could get. Right now I'm lowered about 3 inches but it's fully adjustable.

 

i say, if they have it for ur car, the Zeal Function S6 or S COILOVERS.. =) List price is $1400 for the S, S6 cost more cuz their adjustable... they are sick from what i heard

 

how much are Apexi ws and how much are teins? i would be willing to pay for it, i don't want those cheap 200$ ones i want the full coilover set..

 

zeal, ledda, tanabe, those aren't comfortable, those are pretty much lower grade racing suspension that is some what streetable.

i know someone with tanabe ss on his s2000, the ride is very stiff, performence is there, but even on soft setting, the ride is very harsh.

tein ss or apexi ws are the best choice if it's a daily driver.

both tein and apexi is 3 inch height adjustable, tein is 16 way damp adjust, while apexi is auto damp adjust with 20-30% more stiffer springs compared to stock.

they cost about the same also (tein being about 50-100 more).

 

Hey Swab,
How much did you lower your car with your stock shocks? I've been wondering how much I could lower my 6gen Accord EX without killing the stocks right away?
