just started...

Well, I bought this for myself in November on my girlfriend's birthday. 5-speed '98 2.3. Eclipse head I'm switching out for a Pioneer, just some 16" aluminum rims and Infinity Kappa speakers all around so far. Looking for opinions and suggestions on lowering - which brand, how much $$ and how much will the ride suffer?

Looks Good.

As for lowering, many people say to go around a 2" drop. I'm a fan of the Eibach Pro-Kit for my 3.0, but I don't think the drop is enough for the 2.2/2.3. I would suggest getting Eibach's Sportlines Eibach. Just keep in mind that a 2" drop or lower requires a camber kit, or you'll wear your tires unevenly.

I also got KYB AGX shocks: AGX. They really help your ability to control the stiffness of your ride.

If you do a "search" on a-cl.com, you'll find many threads on these subjects, and they'll point you to the best places to buy the shocks/springs.

i'd go for some clear lights on the front end as well, and maybe ditch those foglights...(I'm not a big fan of them, but that's just me)

Nope I have not heard bout those either...but I've seen em in the magazines I read...if I were you I'd rather spend the extra $60ish on the Eibach...I know for a fact that people enjoy those springs and its a well known name...

Just my opinion but I would take the stock 2.3 CL rims any day over the ones you have, especially since they are both 16's.

If your looking for a drop check ebay.com. all 94-97 Honda Accords springs and coilovers are a perfect fit. If you do get springs you should consider changing to higher performance shocks at the same time, again 94-97 accord are a perfect fit.

Yup front upper and rear lower and upper all 94-97 accord. Only a couple things arent 94-97 accord, like the rotors and brakes are 98+ 4 cylinder accord atleast for the 2.3 CL.
