Ok I've been searching everyday for 3 weeks now for a good setup for shocks and struts! And now i'm starting to think about full coilovers!
I am looking for adjustable dampening shocks like tokico illuminas but don't know what springs! I've heard many opinions on Nex Gt, Koni (good things), ground control (expensive but great) so now with all this searching i'm just getting more comfused so now i just want a good simple combo ranging from 200-800 bucks!

And i know you get what you pay for and but everyone wants something good and cheap!
But i am willing to pay if/when neccesary! What the pros and cons of coilovers?

 

for around 800 you could either buy Tein Basics or you can buy Mehh's K-Sports. I think he has a link in the black market. Not sure how much he's sellin them for.

 

1-10 what do you think the k sport are?

 

sick as hell. Look at Klepto's pictures. He was on K-Sports and he was slammed. From what everyone says, they're pretty damn good. I wish i had the money for em. Their adjustable so you can get pretty much any drop.

 

a drop isnt cheap....
coilvers
front+rear camber kit
alignments
installing...
etc etc etc etc and that's the minimum you need...and then you run into problems....

...tires rubbing....control arms busting....ball joints popping out...camber wear ...wearing the side walls because they rub against the inner fender....

Teins aren't stiff enough for a 3.0 either.

I don't plan on slammin it completely just about 2 or so inches cuz i hate the stock ride!
i work at tire shop so am not worried about tires and alignment! Doesn't the k sports come with camber plates? 97blackackcl since these are 8 whats better in your opinion?

 

he has the D2's. but they're around the same from what ive read. if not, im sure someone will chime in and say im wrong. but i believe the same company makes both?

 

Yeah i saw the d2 for 812.50 including shipping for my car! I'm debating on getting these because it seems like i can't go wrong with these but something tells me to go with some simple ol' tokico illuminas and shocks or even something cheaper! what should i do?

 

They're made in the same building / factory from what I was told, d2's and ksports that is, same design, just orange vs purple essentially, plus u can get custom spring rates. Our CL's and that gen accords don't have camber kits as an option. Better would be Tein SS-P, those are about $1200, if I had the money that's what I'd ride

 

Well what's a step below these d2 that still has dampening adjustable and maybe heaight adjustalble!

 

dampening and height, you're lookin at, k-sport, d2, form and function, dampening adjustable and height adjustable aint cheap. The cheaper alternative is lowering springs with adjustable dampening shocks like KYB AGX or Tokico Illuminas

 

Last two questions! Out of the KYB AGX and the tokico Illuminas what would you recommend?
And which ever one you chose what would be a good spring, coilover combined? thanks everyone
