How low are you planning on dropping it?
What is your budget for the coilovers?
Have you considered the costs for alignment after the drop? and a possible camber kit(depending on the drop)?

Read the suspension review thread for some ideas as well. I'd say...if you're after a minimal drop go with Tein Basics/Tein SS as they maintain the ride comfyness a bit more then others. If you're planning on slamming it then look into FF1/FF2/FF2.5s. Check out http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13950 or look on the classified section for members selling their coils.

Lastly just make sure you do your research on both the product you're buying and the company you're dealing with so you avoid headaches, surprises and issues in the long run.

I don't own a set but they're made for comfort compared to their other model "Streets," hence the name "EZ Street" so it's aimed more towards the daily driver. It's a new model they just came out with.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but if you're not going lower than lets say 2.8", you will not need camber correction for the front. A simple alignment should fix the front. I've heard of people on the downside of 3" who were fine in the front.
