depends on your price range. wedley2 just named a good combo. H&R and Konis. full coilovers like Teins and Apexi. depends on how much you want to spend.

I use H&R sports/KYB AGXs on my 94 on my accord and they are freakin awesome. It advirtises a dorp of 1.5 inches but it settled down after a month at about 1.8 inches which looks perfect. Also my camber barely missed being in factory specs by like .1 in the back on each wheel so no camber kit needed.

I was bummed to find out that KYB won't be making the AGX struts for the 7th gen., but at least they are planning on GR-2s.

I'm wondering which you'd suggest: Kinos and Neuspeed or Tokico Illuminas and Neuspeed?

What'd you suggest that would compare performance-wise?

Did you contact KYB themselves I emailed them asking the ? about the AGX's for the 6th gen and they told me they will be looking into this next year so there is hope for us 6th genners because I already know what springs Im getting but really didn't want to fork out close to 600.00 for the Koni Yellows which would be my choice but I'll wait to see if they make good on the AGX's.

I've had them for 3 years and they still ride great. I'd recommend them too.

I have Koni's and Eibach springs with an Eibach rear camber kit.

I'd recommend any higher quality end spring + quality shock combo over a coilover, simply from the fact that I think keep it simple is a great rule of thumb. Plus if you ever wan't to go back to stock the higher end shock and camber kit can still stay on the car and will really go well with it.

I've had the full setup on a body kit-wheel combo and stock setup it looked great both ways. And both the Koni's and Eibach's are guarenteed for life.

But I think an H&R spring or even substituting a quallity shock like those from TireRack would be awesome too. Your local A-zone may even have Bilstiens.

I found my biggest handling change came from massive stickier tires, springs and shocks can only do so much alone. Bigger sways made a noticable differene too.
