Default Dampening adjustable coilovers? to make as smooth and soft ride as possible.

Honda Accord 2003 Coupe EX 4 Cylinder - White (Assembled in US)

A good brand? or better a specific one? - Putting on 18's, maybe 19's.

how much do you guys think the labour would be?




Any other suggestions? springs?

your going to spend at min $500+ just in parts. IMO don't go any bigger than 18's...18's are pushin it on a honda they start to look funny and make your ride much rougher. Coilovers aren’t going to be a smooth ride either compared to good set of springs and adjustable strut/shocks

okay thanks. I'm confused, some people are saying springs and shocks give smoother and softer rides while many others coilovers. I do some research I guess.

coilovers you will feel every bump in the road. Springs will be a smoother ride than the coilovers hands down. I have had both but I personally like the coilovers b/c I like to adjust my ride height when I get new tires sometimes. With the springs your pretty much stuck with w/e your you get when the springs settle in.,

Default Good year Tires

You REALLY would not think a tire COULD silence an interior on those expansion joints in the road that thump thump thump your car as you go over them but I have first hand knowledge I can attest too. Use Goodyear Comfortred assurance tires and your interior levels go down so much,you would think someone installed interior silencer sheets under your carpet,its that noticeable. From reading the construction info of these tires they install 20% foam rubber in the ply package which absorbs road noise. Give it a try ,I know at least at Discount tire if they install these tires and you do not like them,you can return them with no charge BUT you can only exchange them for some other tire they have in stock. That's what they did for me,the tires worked great on my sedan but weren't so good on my 2003 Chevy venture van so I exchanged for Michelin's turns out because the van profile is too high and my van wobbled so I got the other tires instead, Goodyear assurance work absolutely GREAT on my sedan (LOW PROFILE).Im very pleased with these goodyears I think you will too.Rated for 80,000 but expect 60,000 real world test.
