I have a 2002 Accord Coupe v6, and i wanted to know what the difference between coilover sleeves and true coilovers is...

is it okay just to go springs or coilover sleeves, or do i also need struts..

whats the benefits of "true coilovers"



thanks 4 the help..

well i have coilover sleeves (ground controls) with koni yellows. they absolutely rock. a true coilover will have a matched spring and shock. ask accordinstyle how he likes his cg's and koni yellows.

and yes i have them for sale

what the hizeck...no pics?? ;)
Coilovers (sleeves)

True Coilovers


I really recommend not chincing out on suspension...even more so on true coilover systems... I bought some tokico illumina r's back in January and they didnt even last until April w/o blowing...and since there is no warranty on them (Competition part) I was SOL.

--Now,
You CAN get the sleeves w/o upgrading the shocks/struts, but your stocks should only last a yr tops...theyre not made for that.
Like hondaman said Koni yellows "absolutely rock" I think theyre awesome and any one else that has used them will tell you the same...highly prized (although I use em w/ H&R sport springs instead of coilovers)

Finally...I'd get em from hondaman...good prices...AND hes a good guy :yes: (Shameless plug for ya stefan :D)

I personally would save your money and make the change all at the same time. But, I hate going back and redoing stuff.. Probably because Im just lazy. If your car has around 50,000 miles on it thats just another reason to buy new shocks since they tend to begin wearing out around that time.

You will see much better performance/ ride quality from a "true" coilover kit, unless you have a need for special spring rate and revalving you shocks.

What kinda driving will you be doing?
