i'm getting ready to buy a set of lowering springs and struts for my '95 accord wagon. are there any advantage to coilovers? is there a real difference between cheap adjustable coilovers and expensive ones? how about struts, tokico illumina, kyb agx, tanabe pro s-oc?

 

first rule of thumb when doing suspension. Don't cheap out. Do it right the first time. Don't buy springs and put them on stock shocks. Wait and get the entire package together. Suspension is important so research alot. i'm sure many on here can offer up good solutions. I really can't since my wagon is on air. Good luck!

Oh, and don't forget to get an alignment right after the new suspension! very important!

 

I suggest googling "Suspension FAQ 2.0" and reading that a few times through.

Springs:
- Eibach
- Neuspeed
- H&R
- Tein

Dampers:
- KYB
- Koni
- Bilstein

Coilovers:
- K-sport
- ZEX
- F2 (Function & Form)
- Tein
- AMR
- Zeal (just for L2R)
- Ground Control (sleeves, needs dampers)

 

The Eibach Pro Kit seem to do well with factory struts (depending on the mileage)

I do not like the ride with coilovers (live in NYC), but I hear that the top of the line coilovers are pretty good.

I had KYB AGX struts before and had Pro Line springs on my past vehicles. I enjoyed the ride.
