Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    What Springs and Shocks....

    Well, The ShitBox need some new shocks and springs. Way toe bouncey... So its time for an upgrade. Right now I am running stock LX rims on 195/65R15 Falken Ziex ZE-512. This is a 1993 Accord EX with 5 speed. How big of a drop should I get? I was thinking about some Skunk2 2" Drop with a Set of Gabriel shocks and struts. Anyone got pics on what this look like? Or any other opinions?

    Thanks
    Anthony

                  I'd go with the neuspeed super cup kit. it included koni yellows and neuspeed springs. read "rate your suspension" thread. I've herd nothing but good reviews with that setup.

                  I'm personally running koni yellows and ground control coilovers. I love that setup, but it can be just a tad harsh at times when the road gets crappy.

                    2.5" all around.

                    It lowered it a lot. But, my car did sit higher than others for some reason...

                      You can go with Tokico Blue HP shocks and TEIN S-Tech springs. Should be a comfortable ride.

                          That's sort of an oxymoron. You're going to have to spend money to get that.

                          Wait on some used neuspeed race (or buy my used eibachs ) and put some money into GR2s or reds. Or, better yet, get a set of AGXs or yellows.


                          Or, slam it on cut springs w/ blown stock shocks. That's usually good for a laugh.

                            Usually cheap and a good ride don't go together
