???Adjustable shocks VS. coilovers???

what is the diffrence between Adj shocks and coilovers??? i have noticed that coilovers ride like shit but you can adjust the height of the car by compressing the spring.... (which i think is cool)

As for Adj. shocks, do these also adjust the height of the car??

Reason being is that i have a Pro kit drop and i want to go about .50 to an inch lower..... if i get some KYB AGX's would i be able to drop the car a lil more??? with out jackin up my camber??? beacasue i dont want to be going through tires!!!! please help!!! peace pimps!!!

They made your car a 1/2 inch higher? What shocks were the springs on before that?

Dead accord one's. It wasn't bouncy tho. I'm overall happy with my drop i don't scrape too much anymore and the ride is very comfortable. When i get my kit on, the height should be perfect.

You can go little lower without getting coilovers. Check out the KONI ride height adjustable shocks.

I had the Eibach pro kit and i didnt like how high my front wheel gap was so I changed it to Neuspeed sport springs and KYB AGX check out my www. I have before and after pics, PAGE 1 Neuspeed/ PAGE 2 Eibach.

I have chamber kit in front and back. I posted a reply at cardomain. Unfortunately the Neuspeed springs ride like shit, the Eibach pro kit feels so much better. I sacrificed looks for comfort. I've had my tires for 2 years and I still have about 30% rubber left they're Yokohama prada spec 2 really soft HIGH performance tires so they wear down fast but I dont drive hard on them all the time. I think when I buy new tires im gonna get some FAULKEN 512 all seasons cause the rubber compound is a little harder, hoping they will last even longer.
