    Strut/Spring setup

    I am looking to do the springs and struts on my 1993 accord 5 spd. My questions are Where can I find these for a decent price?(factory and performance) What would a factory setup cost me? And the cost of a performance setup? Thanks for the help

    Performance lowering springs would cost less than OEM parts from the dealer. Ebay or a local performance parts store is your best bet. Lowering springs cost anywhere between $100 and $350. Shocks cost close to $500-$600 for a set of four. Full coil-over systems like TEIN average at around $1000 for the set.

    My CB7 is now ***FOR SALE***

        Everywhere. I researched my setup pretty thouroughly before I installed it, to begin with you need to decide what you want. How much of a drop could you tolerate?Search the forums for "suspension set ups" and read through the different combos. The wiki has a pretty good list of springs/struts to use. Make sure you match them up correctly. I just installed my Tokico set today-I love it! I ended up getting the Illumina set for $800 at ICB motorsport.

        I'm not sure what a factory setup would cost, but there's really no reason to use the OEM when you can get a close match that offers more performance.

              I think all my shocks are blown so it still works ok but squeaking over bumps and stuff.

              so unless I can find used spring/struts from the junkyards, I'll need to pony up for new ones.

              but Im not looking for high quality race setup since honestly I don't think it's worth it on a hooptie like a cb7. I rather save up and get a better car next summer.

              but if I need to swap it anyways I might as well lower it.

              but setups are like 200 for the shocks and 120 for the springs plus install.

              I have never done this myself but I would like to install them myself. But its getting cold here and my garage isnt heated so I'll be paying some dude.
