2000 Accord - Just starting to mod...need suggestions/help for a noob

[tsopranos]

Alright, here's my ****box

I'm looking to do some modifications, starting off with the suspension. A local shop recommended Koni non-adjustables with H&R springs. The H&R's only go down 2.2 in the front though, and as you might be able to tell from the pic, you can probably fit your head through there, haha. It's like a good 3" to the wheel.

I came across the Eibach Ground control kit and I was thinking of pairing these up with the Konis since I can go lower than the 2.2 if need be. Also, I might eventually go with 19" rims so this will future proof it in that regard. There's a good writeup here on this...

What do you all think of this setup? There's a listing on Ebay, not sure if I could post it here, but just put in these keywords ... 98-00 01 02 Accord GROUND CONTROL COILOVER KIT EIBACH. Is the price decent?

i have a ground control/ koni yellow adjustable kit and i love it. but if you're just going for looks w/ a bit of performance i suggest you just get some coilovers. much easier to swap out and will cost the same, if not less than getting koni's and ground controls.

welcome to the site. nice clean start man.

if you plan on going with Koni Yellows and Ground Controls, talk Juicebox00 he has them on his car. They go pretty low and the Koni Yellows are one of the best in the market.

Nice 4x4

with a good drop the car should be looking good.

but i agree, if you are going for all show no go, just get some coilovers.

Thanks for the recommendation... but wouldn't just the coilovers produce a much rougher ride without the Konis?

I appreciate the boat comment Jeff, I need all the motivation to get this sht done
Been talking about doing this for too long.

Juice, how's the price for this look to you?

It would look cool if it was a rally car, but you only have 1 front wheel drive. You need to slam that ****
