Im thinking about upgrade my suspension, i drive an 03 accord 4dr so im not racing it on a track or nothing crazy but i do drive fast (maybe faster than i should.... cant help it, I live for speed) wut kind or set up should i go with to get a good balanced response + ride quality. I dont want to feel like im in a 91 civic slammed to the floor, I want performance handling with a smooth ride if even possible. Any body Know any advice would be appreciated.... parts brands etc.... thanks

I would suggest a mild drop and a set of shocks.

Either Eibach Pro-Kit (this is what I have and I'm really happy with it) or H&R Sport. I would look for a drop of 0.75-1.25".

For shocks, I strongly suggest the KONI Yellow. You can adjust your ride height (3 pre-defined heights) and the shock rebound...So it's easy to have more handling by stiffening the shocks...and the next day you can have a more comfortable ride just by turning the knob on the shock!

I would also suggest upgrading (or installing, don't know if you have them or not) sway bars from the TL or TL-S, and maybe a strut bar too. Cheap mod, lot of results!

Get a bike and keep it on the track, no need to speed around all the time and put people life at danger. But if you still wanna upgrade suspension for better grip i don't blame ya.

Neuspeed has a strut & spring package. $599

http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=53|AC&type=2&ltype=ns_import&p_id=1935

The one on their site is for the Race Springs & Yellow KONI struts, but if/when you order, you can request the Sport Springs in the comment field of the order form. Also the Neuspeed springs are made for them by H&R.

well im not speeding around cutting people off all wreckless, i know how to handle my car and i DRIVE my honda, Im not afraid of the road and i wouldnt ever do anything unless i knew i could do it. speeding doesnt = danger. stupid drivers = danger... If you go to europe their speed laws are way less restrictive but yet they seem to have a lesser accident rate. Are you one of those ppl that do 50 in a 60 and have the nerve to be in the far left lane??
