Holy huge freakin pictures Batman!

I hope you like em. I've had Tokico Illumina's and KYB AGX's (on my CRX) but never tried the Koni's. I've heard good things about them though.

you gotta love that koni perch system. It's so simple, kinda scary when you think about how that little ring supports your whole car...

demons rage,

I've searched around and I did see Accord stuff.
If you could give the model number maybe I can give you some answers on the matter of will they fit.
I know some people and I can get some answers.

2. how will the perform better?
3. will they go over/under/arround or be compatible with the eiback coilovers?

Good luck and hopefully they fit.

Good luck and hopefully they fit.
1. those are performance struts, with adjustable dampening and ride height
2. yes, because you can adjust how firm the strut is and how slow or how fast the shaft rebounds.
3. eibach coilover as in ground control coilovers with eibach springs? if so then yes, assuming the correct sleeves are used.

Install them yourself, all you need is a good set of tools( air or electric is prefered) and friends who are willing to work their asses off.

Does a stiffer suspension actually increase acceleration or just cornering/control? Or both?

a stiffer suspension increases cornering and control, basically a stiffer suspension allows your car to travel less and the car has less of a roll. But if you get really into it, you'll learn that tires are everything.
