3g's for ur suspension on ur accord gimmy a break! by saying "that u did it the right way and thats why it costs so much"
YOU ARE JUST FOOLING UR SELF! i would have taken ur mechanic out back
about 4 years ago i owned a vw passat syncro g60, i lowered it
bought all custom made to order shocks from koni (one offs) 280 usd a shock , 960usd in shocks and then i bought some springs H&R at 300usd, here is the trick thow!
WHEN U REPLACE THE SHOCKS U MUST TAKE OUT THE SPRINGS it the same for every MacPherson strut equipt car
why would u buy some fancey shocks and not do the springs at the same time is beyond me why pay the same labour twice?.
also just cuz ur car is an accord it does mean that its harder to lower! it can't be hard its a honda
if it was a rare car like one of 300 vw passat syncro g60's imported into all of north america then it would be a different storey.i see better ways to spend 3 g's, if your whole car is done up properly and you have a good reason to spend 3 g's on the suspension then props, but when your stock with rims and you wanna lower your car to basically get the look, stock struts are fine, sure they may not last 10 years, but they do for the time being, if anything wouldn't it be smart to get a spring of coilover that a after market stock could be easily added, don't spend the money untill you ABSOLUTLY need to! I totally agree with Weapon!
just shop around for parts, save your money, and do a full suspension set up after the rest of your car is done, or if your planning on hitting the track tons!
