Need suggestions on some struts for my 93 accord

[pimj85]

have a 93 accord that i bought from my brother. came with dead tokico blue struts and cheap ass ebay blue coilovers. now i have some tein s tech springs in there and needing advice on some struts, or even new springs to go with it. looking to spend about $400~500 on this project. would like a nice drop with smooth riding, cause right now every bump i hit, makes the care jump like crazy and by god i'll survive on the freeways. thanks for you time.

S Techs are decent.

If you have $500 to spend, I say get Koni Sport (Yellow) struts. They're absolutely amazing, and well worth the price.

ive heard some fairly good things about the tokico illumina's but dont quote me on that. i agree with the konis they are badass.

.....and another thread sponsored by Koni.......

You're right...


Everyone, get Dropzone struts, because Konis are just WAAAAY to popular.


Oh, wait... people are actually suggesting the best thing... silly me... I thought this was an originality contest!

[1991f22a1]

i ALSO heard that dropzones suck, is that true?

[deevergote]

I would rather allow a flaming muskrat to gnaw on my testicles than put anything made by Dropzone on my car. (the muskrat is probably safer, too...)

[1991f22a1]

that was the gnarliest thing ive read on this site in quite some time. a very good analogy btw.......

Rock on!

Rock on!

lmao. so whats the deal with "dropzone" anyways? who makes them? are they cheap ebay crap? why are they so shitty? somewhat of a noob here and asking a question is the best way to find an answer! durh

Hows that saying go? Go big or go home! j/k

Remember you get what you pay for, and your suspension isn't something you typically want to be cheap about, its just as responsible as tires are when it comes with your contact to the pavement. When it comes to suspension safety/control first, then comfort, then looks imo. I believe the Koni/Neuspeed Sport Cup Kit does it all, and its only $600 with 2.5" drop race springs, plus the struts have adjustable perches, so you can adjust their dampening effect.

I do not own the Koni/Neuspeed Sport Cup as of this time, but it is next on my list after I tackle my exhaust.

Dropzone is their own company, as far as I know. Where they source their parts, I can't say. They have offered inexpensive suspension options for as long as I've been into cars, and they have ALWAYS been crap. I made the mistake of buying a Dropzone camber kit, and I nearly lost my car... maybe even my life... when it failed on me. If I had driven maybe 5 more miles, or hit one more unexpected bump before realizing it, it would have failed completely, and I'd have lost control.

damn dude thats some b.s....ive never heard of them until i got onto this site....i always heard good things about eibach but didnt really know that much about struts/shocks...and still dont. lol but im running the tokico hp's and they seem fine. when i did my suspension all of my struts were as i assume original, bcuz i pushed the piston down and it didnt come back up. hahaha the ride was shitty, but i love it now. also, one more q....whats the diff between regular springs and coilovers? it seems to me that coilovers are better? whats the advantages/disadvantages? can you use the tokico hp's with coilover springs?
