    Could 2000 civic coil sleeves fit on cb7 shocks?

    My friend is selling coilover sleeves from a civic. Will the springs fit the accord shocks? Selling it for a super low deal so if theyd work I could use them

    No. Even if you could make them fit, the spring rates would be all wrong. It could be very dangerous.


    If you can get them cheap, do it. Then sell them, and use the money to buy proper parts for your car.

        Megan Racing coilover sleeves are shit as well. Honestly, the only sleeves I would trust would be Ground Control. Personally, I don't like adjustable springs. I don't have the need or knowledge to properly (and safely) adjust them.

        I hope you're not expecting to put these on 20 year old stock shocks...

            i'm not looking for a full race setup so i dont want to spend the amount for full bodied coilovers but i do like the ability to adjust freely when i need to. so coilover sleeves are what i've been wanting.

              Koni STR-T's are the best shock you can get for the money, and are dirt cheap. ground controls and str-t's will make a great combo for a daily-i will likely end up getting a set for my car

                Yellows would be better suited, but STR.Ts are good.


                The only problem with having the ability to adjust on the fly is that you will need an alignment every time you adjust your height. You CAN drive without doing so, but your tires will wear quickly, and soon become dangerous. It's also a pain in the ass to adjust the height regularly. Most people with coilovers just find a height they like, and leave it at that.

                  yea. i do plan on keeping it a certain height for a long period of time but if ever i needed to it'd be nice rather than have only one height. i've been looking into koni yellows but it costs like an arm to get a set of 4. almost 400 dollars i believe last time i looked. any good reputable sources i could purchase for a deal?

                      Koni Yellows aren't cheap, for sure... but they are hands down the best shocks you can get for the price. If you want to go low, then they're also the only really safe option (there are others, but they cost even more, and may need to be custom-valved for your application.)

                      You can occasionally find deals on them on eBay, just be sure you buy from a seller with a high rating (that has sold them in the past... and didn't get their high rating by selling used xbox games!) www.neuspeed.com also has pretty good prices on Koni products. They have the low-end STR.T for a VERY reasonable price (about $230 shipped)... but for what you want, I would suggest getting the Yellows over those STR.Ts...
