I got the KYB AGX and eibach sportlines. They ride real nice, KYB are adjustable. But i'm not too sure about the Ground control's or the skunk2.

i have kyb agx with neuspeed race springs. love the ride but still not low enough/stiff enough. i plan on replacing my entire suspension with either full coilovers (D2's or K-Sports) or putting ground control sleeves on my AGX's.

i've heard good things about the ground control sleeves with AGX shocks. my buddy has em on his accord and i like the ride so i think thats what im goin with unless i can find a nice cheap set of full coilovers.

if u just want springs then getting the AGX and lowering springs is great. But if ur going to maybe buy diff rims, or need to ajust height for winter or shit like that, just get ksports..

I'm running AGX and GC. I don't have any other complaints beside the fact that you have to jack up the car everytime you want to raise or lower the car...

And Spencer, i've heard bad things about skunk2's from fellow accord owners, i'm sure you can search on this forum that people don't like skunk2's that much...

Damn dude, I made the mistake of putting my rear AGXs on 4... I thought my kidneys were gonna fall out. I have stock springs, but I've been looking at GroundControl as well. They look pretty sweet.

take it from me, spend the money to get a full coil over system. i have installed both and they are so much easier and work better because they are paired to work together. i had d2's and loved the hell out of them. i also had ground controls with tokico blues and i didnt like the ride at all.

How many miles are on your CL? My struts pass the push test but the handling has gotten worse for some reason it could be bushings instead. I can't see myself buying adjustable struts in Calgary though, the roads are all straight. Probably even the non adjustable KYB's or Konis still give better handling than the stock ones
