Default Lowering

I'm finally gonna drop my ride in about a month. I am looking for the best method for my price range. I wanna spend around 450.00 but i'm willing to up to about 600.00. I saw this groupbuy on ebay. I would like to know what you all think about this setup and is this a good price.... http://www.groupbuycenter.com/buy.aspx?id=8292

Also, i wanna get some opinions on Neuspeed sports and Tokico blues. I can get these installed for $560.00 out the door. It's for a 2001 Accord LX 4dr.

Tokico blues suck. Dont get them. KYB AGX or Koni Yellows are what you want. Neuspeed makes a great spring too, along with H&R.

BS.....

Do you have Blues? Probably not, you just go with what you hear.....

sorry but they do not suck and it depends what kind of springs you have..... my friend has tokico blues on cut H&R sports...... ride quality is really good, no complaints.....

me on the other hand, i have Skunk 2 coils which are stiff....... so i did all this research on koni's and KYB's yea you can adjust them for the road ahead and all but according to some experts, you wont feel a difference between KYbs and tokicos.... maybe on a track....

so with that i decided to go with tokicos which do have a lifetime warenty..... before i was just on stuck struts with skunks... god the ride was horrible, i was catching air from the rough ride and bumps.... no with the blues installed... i feel a lot better, no more bounce...... unless theres a huge dip in the road which is rare where i live....

and by the way, i also have 35 series tires on...

sorry ass hat but my buddy had them and they were horrible. He replaced them with Koni's. I have KYB AGX and they are 100x's better then the Blues. Stop defending your cheap ish

the fact that your friend is riding on CUT springs should hint you in on his bad decision making skills. Hence go with the AGX or Koni yellows.

he cut his H&R's because he wanted less wheel gap in between his 18's...... ass hat? or should i say asshole... whatever, anyways you may think they suck but why should i go for konis when my ride is fine? just cuz your buddy had them doesnt mean **** to me cause i have them and the ride quality is excellent. Stop defending my cheap ish? im not defending them, just saying how my ride is, sometimes you gotta spend a little less on suspension when you want to see 18's spinin like windmills h: :fawk:

Ask anyone on this board, CUTTING SPRINGS IS BAD. They are puposely designed to be a certain length not only for performance but SAFETY as well. When you **** with your suspension like that who knows what would happen. If your friend wants less wheel gap, tell him to get springs that will lower it more. That way hes not risking peoples lives.
