Coilovers

Omnipower will probably be the cheapest..tanabe and eibach is an arm and a leg

TDotCord and 5thGenAccord both have D2's - I installed TDot's, nice stuff, ride is wonderful.

Ground Control's arent crap - you can get almost any spring combo you want, they're designed around different types of shocks, come with pillow mounts. Most people use these for their basic autoX/track cars.

bang for the buck Id go for omnis, I have them, the quality of them are amazing considering the price. only downsides is height adjustment is a b*tch and ride isnt as comfartable as youd like, but then again thats the price you pay when you have a stiffer suspension to get better handling. Where with damnpening adjustable coilovers you can adjust accordingly, commuting to work go soft, going for a backroads cruise set it stiff.

i agree with accordian...

omnipowers are awesome. cheap but good quality. although it is a stiff ride. i like them anyway.

I'm sure you could always have someone or even Omnipower make you new valves for the struts

Im not gonna mess with something that aint broken. Hey mahblackaccord are your omnis squeaking, like sex on the bed squeaking? mine do that from time to time it drives me crazy, but then I just turn up my stereo.

Eibach are adjustable...i think 0 to 2.8 inches...probably not worth the money though...i think i might get some tein basics, omnis are just a pain to mess with...how much do basics cost?

basics go from 600-700.


Omnis a pain if you adjust them all the time, you basically have to remove the whole coilover, adjust, and reinstall. but the reason behind that is because this allow you to adjust height without messing with the preloaded springs. Therfore you colovers perform the same no matter what height.

otherwise, im happy.

IVe heard good things about them. Except they were excessively stiff. WHich is a good thing for autocrossers etc. but for most accord owners, they equate stiffness with being bad.Because most people who are considered with looks just get coliovers for looks. They expect a stock ride, but when it gets rough due to the high spring rates they bad moth em. SKunk 2 have high spring rates they are designed to imporve handling not give a comfy ride.
