Question NEX coilovers question

Hi guys. im about to pick up a set of NEX coilovers. I heard that they actually ride kinda rough and that I could change the springs to make it ride smoother??. If so, do you guys know what springs are compatable yet smooth or comforting with the NEX coilovers? TIA

i dont mean any offence,but dosent that defeat the whole purpose of spending 5-700 dollars on a kit,by going and spending more money on new springs to replace the ones that are brand new?

wouldnt it be the same price just to go with some tein basics,or maybe konis/springs even though there is no height adjustment like coilovers?

honestly... dont know much about the NEX .. and ive been doing alot of research of the difference in coilovers on the market....

for $600. spring the extra $70 and get the tein basics... because the springs are paired with the right struts


or, buy koni adjustables and some comptech springs.... good combo

excelerate can work out a deal for you for somewhere just over $700

or you can buy the comptechs from him for $135 and get the neuspeed koni setup (super cup kit) from neuspeeds website... neuspeed.com (look for accord v6 03+ silver cup kit)

walker all u need is the springs... just a pair for the rears. the size is 2.25" diameter i think... ill double check though. springs go for $70 each and you can choose how much lbs. for the spring rate. the fronts are fine.

ONE MORE QUESTION: Where can I get those rubber bushings that go on the bottom of the REAR system? Theres that rubber/metal bushing that goes inside of the bottome of the coilover system on the rear shocks. Any websites? oh this if for the NEX suspension. idk if they are pretty much the same size for all systems. any information will help. thanx guys
