Bilstein on 7th gen
 
Hi guys im christian.. I'm new here.. Great forum here, lots of things to learn from accord owners.. :)
I would just want to ask feedback or advice from you about shocks.. Well, i just lowered my 7th gen with eibach pro-kit.. very nice ride, almost stock.. But, i really don't want the bounce in high speeds that came with it, especially in flyovers and rough roads.. Sometimes it scares me because I feel I don't have total control of my car.. I suppose this happened because Ilowered it with stock shocks? That is why I am now thinking of buying Bilstein yellow HD.. Do you guys think it's worth it? Anyone of you who have tried it with their 7th gen? Thanks for your comments guys.. I really need them because Bilstein ain't cheap.. Thanks :D

your problem is the stock shocks..... bilstein's are sweet but they're spendy (like you said), other options, KYB (about the cheapest but still nice), H&R, Koni, Tokico... those 4 should be great.... here's my personal order of suitability (best to "worst" none of these are bad but some are better): Bilstein, Koni, Tokico, H&R, KYB.... any one of the 4 should alleviate your issue

if the 7th gen's stock shocks are already gas, will it still blow easily with the 1.5" drop?

I fully agree with Sir_Nasty on his choice of choices..Bilsteins are one of the best rides in the automotive business...

Tein carry a good name but I have no real experience with them at all so I'm hesitant to suggest them but I wouldn't talk bad about them either.... the struts/shocks are going to last for a while even with it lowered however your ride quality is going to suck, when you hit a bump the strut is going to try and push all the way up/out and so you get a really bouncy feeling in the car...
