Last week I bought a 94 Accord to run back and forth to work, car runs great but...seems the springs were cut. I just ordered Neuspeed springs off of Ebay, going to try and use the old struts, what else should I replace while I have them ripped out? Thanks for any help in advance.

use the search function to find Suspension 2.0 and a few hundred other threads that cover this.

 

I did read over the suspension 2.0 that is why I am getting rid of the cut/melted springs and chose the soft sport. It sounds like the only other thing I should do is the bushings.

 

for stock height, yes. If lowering more than an inch you'd need a camber kit.

 

The ones ordered are .75 drop. I'm not concerned with performance so I don't feel a need to pay the extra $ for the poly bushings. Where would you recommend ordering the bushings from?

 

Do your current ones creak? If not they're ok to reuse. If you wind up changing them, poly isn't more expensive than rubber.

 

I'm thinking with 135k and reading how cutting the springs could cause problems with the struts, I might as well do them all at once. Going to replace the struts and bushings since it will all be torn out, do it once and be done with it. Sounds like kyb is pretty popular, any other suggestions in that $ range.

 

For the lower $ range KYB are the only ones that I've heard of. Plenty of others out there but not for that price. If you could find a set of Koni's, Tokico, or Bilstein anywhere near the same money I'd buy them FAST.

 

Gabrial Struts are also a good bet and they always carry a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer..

Are the KYB Gr-2 front and rear for 180 shipped a good deal and worth buying. I'm in need of new struts and a limited budget currently.
