Dont buy springs on stock struts. I already made that mistake. My shocks haven't blown out (yet) but the ride quality isn't as good as coilovers.

Damn. I don't live in an area with bad roads at all, but it's better safe than sorry, right? And I can't afford coil-overs, so I think I'll go the Koni Yellows route.

You could always save up for coilovers.

After market springs on stock shocks is a no no. Look into the DIY Section and look into black housing your headlights.

If you get wheels with the right offset then you won't need spacers. I've never ran a camber kit and I've never had a problem with excess camber wear as long as my toe is as close to zero as possible. Definitely make sure to research more. Welcome and happy Modding! .

Thanks for the advice, dude. But I'm not gonna go all out on this car and buy coil-overs for it.. Right now I'm looking at Megan Racing coil-over sleevs and Koni Yellows for the suspension.

And next weekend I shall black house the headlights. I'll upload pics.

Get Ground Control sleeves instead of Megans. Good choice on the Yellows though, they're on sale right now too.

ANOTHER 16yr old.

Welcome to the site.

Looks like a clean project to start with, too bad about the tranny situation, hopefully that will be the last time you have to deal with that headache.

I think after you factor in the cost of Koni yellows and springs you could have just got F&F type 1 coils and been done.

Update!!​

The Accord has been running pretty good, except for the transmission. Hasn't gotten that much worse, but it's slippin' a bit. Haven't gotten any of the suspension parts yet...

Just about a month ago I completely overhauled the Accord's audio system. Installed:

• Pioneer DEH-1300 MP head unit
• 2 Infinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch speakers in the front doors
• 2 Infinity Reference 9632cf 6x9-Inch in the back
• 2 Polk Audio 10-inch GXR subwoofers
• Crunch PowerZone P.1100 amplifier

Reference 6032cf

Close up

Pioneer head unit. You can see the door power controls to the right

The subwoofers and amp

The subs are not amazing at all. They hit at around 165 rms each; couldn't pass them up at the flea market when they were selling them for $40 with the box! The amp has a lot more potential, though. 600 rms. Gonna buy an SPL SP3-10 800 rms subwoofer soon.

New to-do list:

• NRG strut bar
• AEM short ram intake

So you did all that audio work and you have been having tranny issues?
