Default Spring Choices...

Finally getting to upgrading my rims/springs/shocks now, but heres the question, i dont want a ridiculous drop, and i dont want a really stiff ride...i just want to reduce some of the body roll that is inherent with the stock OEM setup. My accord is a daily driver and if i get to stiff the gf is gonna throw a fit..i was thinking either Neuspeed sofsports, sports, and i would rather get the sports as long as the ride is not too harsh....whatta you guys think?

the sports are a perfect springs for a daily driver, the springs rates are not that high and are considered soft. it drops 1.75F/1.5R. i only have a 1-2 finger gap now, with koni yellow shocks.

So would they be better than Eibach Sportlines for everyday? I heard on here that the Eibach's are a little stiffer.

I love my H&R's they work well with the KYB AGX's. If I set the shocks on the softest setting it handles and feels just a tad stiffer than stock. And they're fairly reasonably priced.

I just got some Neuspeed sports on my sedan and I love em, even on the stock shocks. Dropped enough to know it's dropped, but not sitting on the ground, and firm, yet comfortable ride.

I prefer the comptech drop, especially for daily driving.......you won't look at the car and instantly think it's slammed, which I like.....it just takes away the ugly wheel gap without making it look ridiculous.....I'm not a big fan of really low drops, and they just aren't functional.

I personally have the Eibach Pro-kit with Koni Yellow setup. It's awesome. I have it set at one full turn from all stiff and the handling is seriously great. I drove on some mountain roads and the car handled like a dream. As for stiffness, Koni Yellows are adjustable so there's that option.

Another ride I've sat in for a 5th gen is GC Coilovers with KYB AGXs. This is another one of my favorite setups...very very nice, stiff enough for great handling, but definitely still comfortable.

If you're concerned about ride height, Koni Yellows have lower perches which add another ~0.59" to the drop, bringing the ride height to approx 1.8" with prokits. I have my setup like this and it gives me about 1 finger gap in the rear and 1.5 finger gap in the front with 18's.
