Skunk2's are shit. Doesn't really matter what kind of shocks you use with them. Get the Tein SS's. Tein's will put any sleeve coilovers to shame. The application is for the 90-97 Accord.

I have the skunk2's and on stock struts the ride is unbareable. With aftermarket shocks its a little better but buy then your up to 600+ for 650 you can get a set of tein basic or 850 for the tein ss if your on a budget get a set of springs.

About $500 but when you include aftermarket struts maybe about $50-100 and teins are wayyyyy better

Skunk2's= $200 (??????)

KYB shocks= $350*

or

Koni Yellows= $450*

= between $550 and $650

*Very competitive pricing. It usually doesn't include shipping fees.

Tein SS= $820 shipped w/ overnight delivery!

Now what's the better deal???

Skunk's are sleeve coilovers, which mean you have to buy aftermarket struts/shocks.

TEIN's are made for your specific vehicle (90-97 Accord). They are also all one piece. Meaning it's the coilover/springs and strut. No need to buy aftermarket struts. Plus installation is a breeze. TEIN is also a company that is housed in Japan and has a very respectful line of products. Right up there with Apex'i and HKS.
