Default Are these coilovers okay to use

Im planning on lowering my accord about 2 inches and was kinda wondering if these coilovers would be a good start.

cool, i was looking for a cheap way but that still has quality and is versatile? bc if i were to just get struts and lowering springs i wouldnt be able to adjust them and it would cost almost the same. i like to take on any corners challenge but i dont wanna spend a fortune doing it and i thot these would be good for that and show. thanx dude
Oh and how much did your h22 swap cost?

Get the TEINs from some place other than andysautosport. THEY HAVE BEEN BLACKLISTED ON TONS OF WEBSITES.

Tein SS is better than the basics. SS has adjustable dampers in addition to the height. SS-P can get the on-board adjustment upgrade ..... EDFC.

Nice dude, whered u find the motor at? Do you think 2k would get it on the street for me? yeah its be nice to have adjustable dampers but if the price diff is too big i think id rather stay with the cheaper ones, maybe . im just kinda looking for show but id like to be able to corner as good as i can to u no.

i got mine off craigslist, alot of good deals.................and sketchy people on there, both my engine and tranny are off there and both were sketchy but cheap.

and a adjustable pillow tein set up is going to run you around $1300, another 2-3 for electronic adjustments, which at that price you my as well pay another $500 and get Zeal coilovers cause they will destroy tein in handling

Make your mind up on what you'd like to spend then start looking for what your bank account has in it..
