Hey guys I got an 88 Honda Accord DX Hatchback. It's lowered and bouncing around like a pogo stick. I am haivng a hard time of finding companies that produce Coil Overs for my 3rd generation Honda. Can anyone tell me of some companies that I can order some Coil Overs from ? Also any tips and suggestions you can give would be appreciated. My main goal is to smooth the ride out and stiffen up the front end and rear end with sway bars. What do you guys think.

According to Jim 90-93 coilovers will work.

Coilovers probably won't help with your bouncing. Stiffer struts will cure this problem. I don't believe full-bodied coilovers are made for the 3g accord which means you only get the adjustable spring and not the strut that's matched to it (which means you supply your own strut). While it's probable and likely that your bouncing may be due to bad/chopped springs, a lot of the bouncing issue is remedied through struts, so even going to a coilover conversion will not necessarily increase your ride quality.

yea you need better struts, but if you want good coilover, get the cheapest ones you see on ebay for the 3G then buy some eibach linear springs for them, then get better struts.

Hey thanks for the advice. I'll start looking for some new struts. I know I can get OEM strust but I would sure like a source for some aftermarket struts. Thanks again.
