Default 5th gen budget suspension

I've noticed the past few weeks that my car (96 accord dx sedan, 182K) is getting pretty damn sloppy, almost to the point of unsafe. I would like to find a new, cheap-ish suspension setup. I'd like to lower it slightly (about an inch, maybe a little more but not enough to require extra parts just to keep my alignment safe) just to take some of the wheel gap from my 17s and help the ride a little. I know cheaper will not be better, but I'm keeping in mind that my car is 12 years old and has almost 200K miles... any suggestions guys [or girls, hell, i don't care where good advice comes from as long as i get it ]

if you lower ur car then soon you will need to replace the axle and the ball joints. you get what u pay for. search ebay u will find lots of cheap stuff or if u want expensive then do a search here and u will find lots of excellent suspension for the price.

search for:

Dropzone Shocks : 175
Dropzone Springs : 60
Dropzone front camber kit : 50

Thats the cheapest best quality suspension u can get.

I'll be posting a "how to" change the shocks/spring and put on the camber kit for Gen 5 accord pretty soon here.

also a good idea to replace lower/upper ball joint when ur doing this, cuts the time in half.

a front Strut tower brace works on my 95 accord
I also have a rear lower tie bar.

TASauto.com has these things.
