Which suspension for my 96 EX Coupe - 2/17/2006 12:59:52 PM    Jronski   Posts: 4 Joined: 2/17/2006 Status: offline Hi all, I am heading up to Denver on tomorrow to pick up my "new" Accord, and am already thinking about the mods I want to do. It's already got clear corners, bumpers, and upper tails, as well as some kind of aftermarket air filter... cold air maybe. Anyway, it's obvious that it is going to need some lowering but I don't know how much I want to do. It will be a daily driver here in the front range, which means occasional snow packed roads, negotiating speed bumps, and driveways. I don't want to sacrifice a great deal of the ride qaulity and I was thinking Eibach Sportline springs (1.8"FR - 1.7"RR) with 16" wheels would be a good combo. But since I am such a total noob to modding an import car I don't know what other parts I'll really need or if this is a good setup at all. Shocks? Camber kit? Any advice would be much appreciated!
