Not the same "what's the best set-up thread" ...

I would like to buy a set of 4 struts loaded with lowering springs.
I DO NOT want it slammed!! The roads in PA suck!
1" - 2" lowering is fine.
And I don't want ridiculously stiff struts making every pothole crush my kidneys!

And of course, I'm on a budget LOL.

If someone could suggest springs, I could always get standard struts.

If anyone cares ... I purchased Monroe Quick Strut assembly all around ... Swapped the Monroe springs and substituted Neuspeed (Sport Spring) lowering springs. Very nice improvement, but anything would've been an improvement considering I had almost 200,000 miles on my OEM struts! The springs lowered the ride slightly, so it definitely looks better, but I can't really compare the ride comfort to OEM springs cuz I bought the car second-hand. Anyway, I'm a HAPPY BOY now. Didn't realize how weak my struts were!

 

Post a before and after picture of your ride if you have them-so we can see..

 

Pics Before and After ...

 

Nice looking "drop" - not too much, just enough. Then with the new struts, I bet it does "feel" good.

 

Those are the springs that I am considering as well. Thanks for posting pics!! I like the stance. Not too low, not too high.... Just right! So she rides fairly smooth and comfortable? I use my car as a DD and haul kids back and forth regularly. I can't have something that rides like a covered wagon. Thanks in advance!!

 

I drive my Accord back and forth to school (40 mins each way) and work (1 Hour each way), so I'm doing A LOT of driving, and I couldn't be more pleased (and the driving is over Pennsylvania "roads" = voted worst in the nation). Granted, I replaced the struts as well, and I'm thinking they have the most affect on the ride. But the combo is a PERFECT compromise. For future upgrades, I will consider anti-roll bars for better cornering. This car will never be quick or fast, so making it corner like an F1 racer will be my goal LOL.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I believe I will use the Neuspeed Sports with Koni ST.R shocks. I want the car to be low, but not too low. Thanks again!

 

I think the roll bars from the TL's are a bit larger and will fit the Accord's
