i have the same setup: tokico blues/skunk2 coilovers. it rides ok. it only gets real bouncy when the roads are filled with potholes or when the asphalt has "curled". im satisfied with it, but like everyone will tell you if i could do it over.. i would have gone with adjustable shocks instead of the tokico blues.

well do you think i should get springs instead of the skunk 2s??cause from what i've heard, spring work much much better than coilovers....

koni has an RSK kit for the accord. It is a sweet setup and accordstore sells it for 595. I know someone who has it loves the ride and handles really good.

Adjustables are nice and all (I have Illuminas), but honesty I adjust maybe every 1000 miles or so, if that, and only for a few hours. It is a nice option to have though. I would not recommend skunk2, I just prefer to stick with reputable spring manufacturers. Coilovers would be nice, just to be able to adjust the ride height, but the only problem is tire wear.....everytime you adjust the ride height, it throws the camber of the vehicle off, which is definately not ideal for even tire wear.

If your gonna have a drop 2 inches or over I wouldnt use blues at all.. go with the tokico 5 ways or koni yellows.. or go for a tokico coilover kit if you want a real coilover setup and dont want to spend an insane amount of $$

Question: when getting coilover sleeves do you have to get an adjustable shock? and when changiong heights do you have to re-adjust your camber?

ok "99accord" when getting sleves do you have to get an adjustable shock...... you don't have to, it's just alot better if you do, just expands ur options. and yes you do have to re-adjust ur camber kit when you re-adjust height.
