2007 Accord suspension ideas

[Old Dog 61]

My wifes car is a 2007 Accord EX has 90,000 miles. I drove it all last week the car could use struts and maybe springs. It's not unsafe to drive BUT.... 90,000 miles as a car guy why go back stock??
I am looking to buy Koni yellow sport series and use the stock springs or maybe Eibach pro kit. A long time member at CB7 tuner suggested H&R OE sport springs. I was also looking at coil overs, either Form and Function 1 or Tein basic.
My working budget is $800.00 and the question is Would you buy struts and springs OR coil overs and your reasons.
If anyone has other ideas or products please feel free to speak up.
Thanks for your time and Be Well.

full coilovers or nothing.

If its a stock car, your wife drives it as a DD to go to the grocery store, gym, park, mall, etc. then I'd suggest going with no more than a spring/shock combo.

Something like the Eibach Pro-Kit and maybe a Koni STR.T would be more than adequate. That shock is perfect for lowering springs and Eibach makes high quality springs, I've got their Ground Control Coilover setup on mine.

Another shock that is good, that I'd recommend, are the ones I'm using now. KYB AGXs. I've got over 96k miles on my set(installed Aug 05') and all the damping settings still work perfectly (8 levels in rear, 4 in front), and I'm lowered about 2.5-3". Not to mention my car being an AZ car its entire life seeing 115+ degree temps in the summer.

I had not thought about the Koni STR.T struts but that would be a good choice, I know there many choices of coil-overs some good and some better. It would be nice to have coil-overs, I found some F&F 1 for $599.00 and Tein for $700.00. I'm not sure what other brands members here have had good results with. I found Koni yellows for $502.00 on line, so for $97.00 more I could have F&F1. Not sure it would be worth the extra cash out put

I have a 92EX myself also running KYB AGX's but with Eibach pro-kit springs. I am very happy with this for my daily driver, they have been on for about 2 years.

I just got these for my 07 Accord V6 sedan. I have 96k on it and I figured its time for a change. I absolutely can't wait to put them on. They're Form & Function Type One.

Nice when are you going to install the coil-overs? I looked at your car in the other thread It's even the same color only ours is a 4 Cyl. sometimes I wish we had bought the 6 Cyl instead.

I will be installing the coilovers nex week. Im geeked!!! Cant wait. I have never done lowering springs , so full coilovers is my thing. I say, look around a bit. But def go coilovers. Eff them springs.

I'm biased towards Type 2s. That way you can adjust dampening to fit you AND your wife's tastes.


Then after that maybe some HIDs and fogs if you don't already, then a nice exhaust from Megan.
