i'm not really a fan of sleeves since i split skunk2 sleeves, probably because i drive rough lol ... but since you already have koni's get GC sleeves, at least till you have to replace them ... i haven't heard anything bad about GC sleeves yet

This shouldn't even be a question. Konis will be leaps and bounds beyond anything F2 will offer.

word. id def get the GC's brandon, especially since you dont want to be slammed, just a little lower, and the GC's can definitely do that. its cheaper than buying all new coils, and you already have the shocks, and not to mention koni's are great haha. id say def get the ground controls.

I ordered a set of AMRs, so I will sell my Illuminas/Ground Control.........I will probably have the coils by early May, if not longer.

With that said, if you're interested in just the Ground Control sleeves, I'll sell them to you for $200 + shipping. Their rates are 8k/6k by the way.

By experience, GC will not lower the Accord that much, they claim 3" but its only like 2.5". One exception is Adrian's car who uses the same setup as me. I saw the car in person and it was slammed. I don't know hows thats possible :madrun:. lol


For the F2 TypeII, I drove David's and Johnson's car on them on full stiff and made a few fast turns. Maybe its just my high tolerance but I thought it was still soft :lawl:. They rode really nice though, firm and responsive. I haven't rode in extremely high quality coils like AMR before so I can't say for sure that you will like them as well.

You know what's funny about that? When I had my accord I ordered a new set of skunk2 sleeves. About two weeks later I got a call from them saying the last batch of Skunk2 sleeves were recalled because the sleeves were splitting. They refunded my money and advised me not to buy any from anyone else because a lot of retailers would sell them even though they had been recalled.

I ended up getting a used set from an earlier batch from a member here and had no problems.

i would go with the sleeves too...mainly cause its cheaper

the sleeves would be slightly more work to install seeing as the coilovers would be preassembled with top hats and all...

since you aren't tracking the car...really the f2's may be more comfortable...but...since you already have spent money on koni's...its kinda hard to give that up seeing as your already halfway down that path....

i got mine through autozone at the time ... only because i got a commercial discount on them ... maybe that's why i never got a call :eusa_wall:
