Hey guys hope all is well. I am new to the forums and I noticed this is the place with the most feedback and support. I own a 1993 honda accord lx coupe the car is great. I am looking to improve my cars performance by way of suspension and some engine mods. I saw a couple of coil overs and springs as well as headers, I wanted to know if any of you have ever purchased any of the parts from ebay. The parts look very affordable but I wanted to get some feedback and experiences with these parts from ebay if you ever made any purchases. If you guys know of any places to get some parts or are selling some of your own let me know.

Hope to get some good responses from everyone

 

First, welcome!
Second be careful with ebay, like with the boogey man, sometimes its better to stay under the covers. I did purchase my sri on ebay for $10, just make sure it has that inverted cone part on the end. Headers, I would only look for name brands. It tends to be hit or miss with these knock-offs, though, I don't have first hand experience with these headers, only what I've heard. OBX makes some nice headers and the folks around here will tend to agree. And read the sellers feedback****

 

Slusgers got it. Headerwise, some people have had really bad experience with the $80 knock off headers where they start to rust and need replaced or the 02 sensor gets stuck. OBX and Megan seems to be the cheaped ($180ish) for stainless steel and I have obx headers myself and they are really nice. The best would be DC Sport or Comptech for about 300-400 bucks. Some people buy the cheap short ram intakes and then put and AEM filter on them to save some money but I felt going name brand w/ something as important as taking in air needed name brand but thats my opinion. Dont know anything about the suspension though. sorry Good Luck and thanks for joining!

 

Lowering springs, once again this is VERY important that you get a good brand, also, if you're not going to replace your shocks/struts at the same time plan on doing it fairly soon down the road because lowering your car will put a large amount of added pressure on them and blow them much more quickly... The off brand springs frighten me personally because that is all that keeps you on the road and small inconsitencies make a big difference, stick with a brand name, buy quality stuff and you won't regret it but don't skimp on your springs....

OBX seem to be good headers from what people say, Bomz makes a good SRI intake (inverted cone in the end of the filter as mentioned) so those two parts I'd say are great, probably not as good as top of the line stuff but close enough to be great still (probably 1-2 HP difference if even that...),

 

I'M SKETCHY ABOUT BUYING THINGS OFF EBAY PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE RESULTS YOU GET... THANKS
