Talking Installing New Aftermarket Front And Rear Suspension

2003 Honda Accord EX 4D 2.4L 4Cy (K24A4), AT

Im installing a new Aftermarket Suspension in the car and was planning to go with the

Eibach 4044.711 Pro-Street-S Coil over Kit along with the KYB GR-2 Shocks.

just wanted some input on this setup if anyone has done it to a honda accord, and if im going to be looking at any conflicting issues that need correcting along the way.

And if you have done it, how dose it handle? both performance wise (taking corners at higher than normal speeds) and daily driving wise.

I'll move this over to the Suspension area where it belongs.

I'm a newb too. But I remember everything I've researched because I'm replacing my full suspension as well. From all that I've read the KYB G2's are great as an OEM replacement but are never a safe shock for lowering at any amount. They have a tendency to blow with short springs or any significant drop under the OEM spec. If I had to guess, they would be okay with less than an inch drop but the ProKit is 1.5". ProKit S I'm not sure on, you probably know the drop on that.

Yeah so judging from what iv been reading im switching the GR2s for Koni 8041s along with the coil over kit by Eibach.

bit more on the costly side but i dont mind paying good money the first time around to get it right.

and from the look of it im also going to need to get a camber kit, but i wont know which fitting ill need (front left, front right, or rear) till i do my aliment, and please do correct me if im wrong.

am i missing anything else?

All Koni struts come with a lifetime warranty if I'm not mistaken..just something to consider.

yes the GR2's are OEM replacements. The struts are little on the soft side for any type of drop I mean it will work but not for long. For the price I would buy a full set of Function and Form type 1's.
