sorry for some reason i cant do attachments anymore so if you look at my bigginers ride thread you can see my car there thanks -
kyb gr2's are great struts but are OEM replacement struts. Many people still use them with lowering springs and say they are fine. I just am not sure of how long they will last. I do not recomend using them with a spring like the neuspeed race. Of the 2 struts you mentioned, I would say the tokico HP blues would be a better choice, but Ive read that those are also OEM replacement, however if you use them with a mild drop spring, they should be great. If want a more if you serious setup, something like KYB AGX's, tokico illuminas or Koni yellows would be excellent. They are all adjustable and the yellows are said to be the ultimate. They would be excellent paired with the neuspeed race springs that you mentioned. Only thing about the agx's is that they will keep your car sitting a little higher than if you were to use a different strut setup. Hope this helps a little!

Neuspeed Race or H&R Race springs, you won't be disappointed.
Konigstiger has an AGX strut mated with Neuspeed Race springs , it rides like a dream.

Save money and get Function & Form Full System , cheapest and great setup from the Full System category.Last edited by PIMPCORD; 03-25-2009, 07:48 PM.Feeding trolls is my profession and hobby.

I have the sportlines, it handles like a go-kart basically. You turn it goes where you want it to. I have frt and rr sway bars as well, but anyways the thing stays glued to the road. I have thorwn my CB into some serious turn and have not been dissapointed. The ride is good to me, but I guess I'm used to it. Some my not like it though due to the bouncyness on some roads.

Yes do not get Tokico blues or Kyb gr-2's, as they are both stock replacements and will blow out, it is only a matter of time. Like you said go with the AGX's if you are on a budget, or Koni yellows/Tokico Illuminas if you want to upgrade even more. And sportlines are a great spring with a nice drop for a daily yet with performance in mind as well. I think neuspeed races are a bit harsh and low for a daily spring setup to most people from what I have heard.Comment

Oh and like someone else said already, bilsteins are another great shock for the money. Not to mention you can buy rebuild kits for cheap and rebuild them yourself!!!Comment

yup, ive read that bilstein and penske are the best shocks out there. in terms of racing heritage and performance. cant go wrong.Originally posted by white5thgen View Post1992 Accord EX-R 4 door Cobalt blue on blue 5 speed, friggin love this car.

it depends how much you want to spend.. everyone swears by the koni yellows, if thats in your price range.. i personally have the gr2s and they are fine. i also used eibach sportline springs. very smooth ride.. all together with shocks and springs i spent $500, i also needed a front camber kit.Comment
