You can also ask around here for ppl who have their stock struts removed. I would gladly sell my rears from a 01 i4 that have only 36k on them.

ah, well if you are at stock height and want a stock ride, OEM shocks or the KYB GR2s are your best bet. I think maybe Monroe shocks could be a good choice.

If want a *slight* drop, you can get the H&R OE Sports as mentioned above, but you will barely notice the drop.

For a "real" drop you can get actual lowering springs from H&R, Eibach, TEIN, Ground Control etc.

you can pick up Tokico Blue Shocks for $280/set here:

Tokico also makes a matched shock+spring set, but I don't know how good it is...

I have no idea which shock+spring setup is the smoothest, but I personally want to get the Neuspeed-Koni Sport Shock/H&R Sport Spring combination.

yep, LX4cyl gave some good info.

the 5th gen accord guys (which is what you have) seem to like the KYB AGX's and I don't think they are that much.

If you want a slight drop, with close to stock ride quality, I'd look at some eibach prokit springs.

Prokit= damn good ride quality

Unfortunately they are one of the most expensive springs out there. I got mine cheap at NOPI since they didn't have any neuspeeds.

i sell a good bit of koni yellows and a lot of people like them, they arent to bad in the price range either..


if you got a ton of dough, then tein would be great but if your looking for decent ride and not to big of a hit on the wallet.. its Koni yellows IMO

koni yellows/kyb agx and eibach prokits. the drop is low enough to notice without scratching your car on every hill and ride quality is great. perfect combination of ride qualty and performance. you will not find a better spring for a daily driven car.
