Dude, suspension is one thing you do not want to cheap out on. stay off of ebay. that won't get you anything but a bunch of no-name low end parts, that are worse than stock, and will do nothing but ruin your ride. If you must use ebay to find parts, look for quality name brand stuff. here, read this completely. It will get you started.

there are several sites that sell quality parts for our cars and I'm sure lots of people will chime in and let you know what they are. I know of several myself, but here is my personal favorite site for ordering parts. they provide excellent customer service and have pretty good prices too.......
www.horsepowerfreaks.com

A few brands you want to keep in mind are
Eibach
H&R
Skunk2
Neuspeed
Progress
TEIN
Megan Racing
and the list goes on.......

This SHOULD be deleted, but I hate to see someone with a seriously misguided suspension plan go uncorrected, as that could be dangerous.

91LXGOLD, get quality parts. You will needs springs AND shocks to lower your car. The shocks should be compatible with the springs (drop and spring rate... cheap stock replacements won't cut it for a 2" drop)
The brands listed above are decent, though I'm not a fan of the suspension parts offered by Skunk2 or Megan Racing. The rest are top quality.


My suggestion is H&R or Neuspeed, and Koni or Bilstein shocks. Ingalls or SPC camber kit.
If you want adjustable coilover sleeves (remember you have to get an alignment every time you adjust them) then the only one I would ever trust would be Ground Control. Every other sleeve on the market for our cars that I've come across is crap.

It's not to say that everything on eBay is "crap" ..

I've bought some quality suspension parts on eBay like my first set of Eibach's.
I just recently purchased a set of Function and Form type 2's from eBay ..
Those are quality parts that have a reputation of being top line products.

No name stuff that is really inexpensive, should always be questioned.

The search function is sooo useful here 91LXGOLD .. use it, get to know it.
I myself use the *advanced* version .. and, I use it to search *titles*.

It's hardly ever steered me wrong, as most everything that can be asked here at CB7T,
has at one time or another been asked and covered in depth.

Good luck with your paticular set-up ..
And welcome to CB7Tuner

A good suspension setup will cost you AT LEAST $500 new. Something to think about.

When people say parts from ebay are crap, they generally are referring to the super-cheap "ebay" parts. Yes, you CAN get a name brand on ebay, but that's not the only place you can get them. The really cheap parts very often are sold exclusively, or at least primarily, on ebay.

It seems that all to often eBay gets a bad rap. Yes, there is crap on eBay, but you can manage to find crap anywhere. On the other hand, sometimes you can get a great deal on a legit part from someone just looking to make some a buck.

Thank you for repeating what I just said.

Thank you for repeating what I just said.

At least he didn't say " x2 " or " this "

x2.... Wait I mean


I had "ebay" coilovers.... Harsh ride. The biggest issue is the sleeve cracked on two of them... Not safe.

Also, if the spring/shock fits anything except a 90-97 Accord don't bother with it.

[DarkHusk11]

I was looking at those coilovers on ebay good thing i dident order them..

[deevergote]

If it's brand new and really cheap, it's probably crap. If it's used and really cheap, it may be a name brand... but beat to hell, and therefore crap.

Unless you really shop smart, or know someone, you really HAVE to spend some money to modify your suspension safely and effectively.

[DarkHusk11]

I checked the skunk2 site and they have some coilovers for around 250 ima have to break down and do it lol
