ditto. Though you should buy stuff off the front page if you can  Anyway, yes, a coilover sleeve like that will allow you to adjust your height and blow your stock struts

If you want coilover sleeves... ground control. You'll need a set of nice struts like Koni yellow though.... total = ~$900 shipped True coilovers - ~$900+. I'd go with these. Tein, Tanabe, etc.

i got the koni yellow/gc combo and i have yet to see better handling and ride comfort. i'd say the car behaves as a beemer   but it takes a while to adjust the shocks to that right setting

Have you been in many cars with true coilovers? I've been researching a lot, and this seems to be the way to go. For around the same price for the lower end ones. accord98lx, true coilovers are a spring/strut combo, where sleeves will require you to buy aftermarket struts to pair up with them.

true coilovers (WHAT I HAVE!!) have the height adjustablility threads on the shock itself so there isnt any bouncing of the springs like w/ the combo
Oh and if anyone is wondering...mine still arent put on yet...  theyre in the box in a corner of my room...but I plan on putting them on next week! |
