Im looking to upgrade my suspension a little bit on my 95 accord ex coupe...First off I definately want to lower it, looking towards skunk 2 or eibach lowering springs...I have stock Shocks...What else does anyone Suggest for a decent price that will improve my handling? Any Info. on what and which camber kits, control arms, or anything on this subject is much needed, thanks!!!

If you're looking for better handling then get:
- springs
-strut bar ($60)
-sway bar ($140)
-lower tie bar ($50-100)
-sticky tires (alot)

Personally, I would go with eibach springs, they are known for quality parts, not saying that skunk doesnt make quality parts, but m vote goes towards eibach.

i just had some D2 coilovers put on my car. it is very gocart-esque. a heads up on lowering the CD7's if you go for no or very little gap on your fronts you will have to mod your inside fenders. i got ingalls adj uppercontrol arm ball joint and I still need to make clearance for the ball joint to achieve proper camber. i have been looking for aftermarket uppercontrol arms(shorter ones) but seems companies started making these for gens after mine. Just a heads up.
After you improve the suspension you will definitly enjoy your car alot more.

you're going to need new shocks if you're lowering it more than 1.5' , ebay is ok but there are alot of scammers out there, you should pay attention to what the member is selling.

Price varies depending on where you live.
