well to start off I dont know of too many Accord axle-back kits, mainly only cat-backs..... my cousin is runing a full HKS cat-back on his 95 Accord EX and it sounds great. im runing a universal muffler on stock pipes, and I like the sound of mine along with plento of others, it gives a great low end until VTEC opens up and the intake scream takes over

thats a 97 2.2...you can hear the low end in the distance on the exhaust and after I shift up as I get closer, I timed it so that I hit VTEC at the camera, so its all intake there. ive gotten compliments from all sorts from fellow Honda enthusiasts and even domestic guys.. oh and please ignore my smart-ass brother at the end of it



and as for suspension, id go with full coilovers, not only is it height adjustable, you get a good set of perfectly matched dampers, that have been R&D-ed to work well

axleback will sound good unless it's a POS ricer can...springs for a more factory ride, coilovers for a more adjustable range and performance.

Try searching for some more info there have been bazillions of threads.

Please search there have been numerous discussions about coilovers and axle back exhausts, personally I think you should do a full cat back, don't be cheap

where do u live? it depends on the road conditions and if ur going for performance or style or a combo of both. The best way to go is always coilovers, but if you want a nice drop with a slight improvement in handling, go eibach sportline springs with kyb agx or koni yellow shocks

coilovers. i wish i didnt do springs and shocks. i have eilbach sportlines and tokico hp's and my front passenger side now sits lower then my driver side, which looks horrible.

get yourself some "Form and Function" coilovers. there affordable and there the new thing man. do it right the first time

I have the same issue as ghost, except my passenger side is higher. must be my fat ass on the drivers side. I am swapping the rear side to side soon to counter-act the effect. All in all, springs generally give a more factory like ride, while coilovers have the obvious benefits of adjustability and better handling when you want it.

im usually leniant for those who dont use the search button since im often not doing it either. but when you have your own thread already started, just bump that one instead of making another one, I mean its not even that old and still on page 1

Threads merged, please don't open repetitive threads for the same question. Also try searching, or reading THIS

Or use the search, there's upwards of 25-30 spring and coil types that people have used on here and written reviews on.
