Alright, FINALLY after 2 months this idiot from another ACCORD site is going to send me my suspension that I bought from him.

Eibach Ground Controls w/ BRAND NEW hardware
KYB AGX shocks

The suspension only has 3,000 miles. I paid aroung $500 shipped which is a good deal considering GC's are $350ish and the shocks go for $120ish a piece.

I am so frustrated I am debating whether selling them or keeping them. I already have the Ingalls front balljoint camber kit and will be getting a Wicked Tuning or Megan Racing camber kit for the rear. so I WILL be installing a new suspension this spring. So here are my questions.


How much do you think I could get for the GC's and KYB's? If I sold them, I would only sell them if I could get at least the same amount I paid.

On eBay I have seen Skunk 2 coil springs w/ shocks for a $630ish and some Function Form F2 coilovers for about the same. Does anyone know if the Skunk2's or F2's would be better?

I am lowering ONLY for appearance, not for AutoX so I would prefer a factory riding feel which is what the GC's and KYB's will do and I need them to last much like the factory suspension has lasted. 108k miles. I am not looking to spend $1000 or anything like that on suspension, I have already spent enough, and have to pay to get it all installed/aligned and am looking for something close to what I have paid.


Help!

 

I'd just roll with what you got............although you probably still wont have it for another month.

kevin ftl.

 

lol
Well he just FINALLY contacted me (first time, himself, since Jan 14th) and said FedEx will deliver them here on the 17th. Funny, because that lady said they were shipping them on the 9th and UPS delivery time estimates 4-5 days so Fedex should be about the same. If they didnt ship them out Monday, as verified on the box when I get it, I will lose it.

 

But I most likely will, however, I am still open to options.
Dont really know much about the two suspensions I listed. *Sigh*

 

I am hoping they didn't, so I can witness this.

 

Thanks for the encouragement! :P

But I mean, can you really blame me? Plus, I still have to wait for the new hardware to ship to me from GC itself, even though Kevin said they had to wait 4.5 weeks to get it. So what, I get 2? Doesn't add up.

 

Nothing he does adds up, and he will always make it out to look like you are the bad guy.

 

Agreed.

Still debating about the whole suspension situation though...............

 

you got a great deal


it should not be hard getting your money back if you do decide on selling the setup

 

Function/Form Type-I's are stiff, as well as Ksport. Skunk2 is also known to be the STIFFEST.

The Ground Controls will probably be your best bet for a good ride, as long as the AGX's are turned down to their softest damping level. I doubt you'll get high mileage out of your suspension before the springs starts sagging or the dampers need rebuilding. Lowered cars stuff wears out faster! That includes bushings and ball joints.

Sidenote: I don't know if you were going after the F2 Type-I or Type-II coilovers. The Type-I don't have damping adjustability, so the ride will probably be pretty harsh. Type-II are more expensive, more like $800 a set.

I would stick with what you already have and don't install the front camber kit until you are sure you need it, it's likely you won't.
