Coilovers, what else??
 
Ok so i am looking into purchasing some Skunk2 coilovers for my car to drop it a little. That is the one thing i do know. what i dont know is if i need a camber kit, or new shocks(or struts but i believe the accord has shocks). Can someone please help me out. Wouldnt want that much of a drop prolly 1.5 inches. Thanks All

skunk2s are usually used to get bigger drops than that, I wouldnt recommend running skunk2s on stock struts so you would want to get aftermarket ones.

if 1.5 is all you are looking for i would suggest eibach sportline/proline springs.

hmm, alright. I was thinking coilovers cuz from what i have heard and read springs are usually for look and not so much for performance. and skunk 2 makes some pretty low priced adjustable coilovers (280 i think it was). Now then again i must admit i havent searched a lot of companies for there product so i dont know.. All feedback is greatly appreciated though thanks. so if i stay with some coilovers and like a 1.5-2inch drop you suggest getting some new struts?

Yeah stock struts just wouldnt last long with the s2 coil overs. If handling is what you want, it can be achieved with springs and aftermarket struts, for example eibach proline springs with KYB struts would give you very nice handling.

This is someone i know running S2 coil overs, not sure what dampers he is running them on:

I bought them off a member on here. Its all about luck though, its getting somewhat hard to find them with the full harness these days, alot just including the lights themselves. ebay is usually your best bet.
