Default 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

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...
