H&Rs or Neuspeed Sports along with KYB AGX Shocks. Those are really good combos. Also, the Eibach Sportlines with the AGX, although this one is supposed to be really aggressive.

Thanks alot. The other question is if I do get H&R springs which one. being that they do not make them for our cars. Do I get the Acccord set or what do I do. I am looking for about 1 to 1.5 inch drop all around on 19".

Dont get springs that drop evenly all the way around or else the front end of the car will look higher than the back. If the drop in the front is 1/4" lower than the back it will look even. For example neuspeed 1.75" front - 1.5" rear this drop looks even.

H&R's, I've heard, will drop the front a little lower in some cases, resulting in a more even drop. I believe you need the springs for 90-97 Accord.

depends on what you're using the car for..if this is your daily driver just stick with kyb agx shocks and hnr springs (or eibach, neuspeed, etc...whatever's your choice but i prefer hnr over other companies as far as springs go)...if you're gonna drop lower than 1.5 inch it voids the warranty of the kyb agx so you can try tokiko blues..no use getting konis for their price unless you're gonna be doing some autox/road races

I have decided to go with H&R springs but which ones fit on our car and which model is best for 1.5 drop.

correct as usual king friday.

I did this on friday... jack ed up one side at a time took off a wheel adjusted coilover setting and then put wheel back on and proceeded to next wheel... takes 30 or less depending if your car is real low or not... the hard part is getting your car up in the air... I had to drive up on some bricks to get the jack under the supports.
