we should seriously do something about the search thins, cuz i have seen at least 5 of threads like this. NXRacer has 96-2000 coilovers on his car, and they fit(as he says) and the fronts from this will fit as well, but not the rears(as i remember, someone was trying to put them on, but couldn't) I think they are a little bit too narrow.(not sure, never tried)

You're right, ivanfbi !!!!

We should bring together all information about these coilovers.

So, everybody who knows FOR SURE what types of coilovers that came from other models would run on ACCORD 86 89 please put a post here.

Ivan, you told that som 96 -00 fit on this car. They come from Civic or from Accord?

hey smufguy,

nxracer put a thread here: "Civic springs DO work", do you seen it? he put a set of coilovers from a 98Civic on his car. in the thread you talkin about I don't see any other models than 86 89 and 90 97 Accords.
So, I think that list must be updated but only by peple who use coilovers, not by som like me, who only read about them.

but a lot of guys who run Coilovers dont seem to keep up. I dont see a reason why you would like to run coilovers when u dont really have any shox to support them besides the Revalved Blestiens. I dont know if you guys overseas have other shocks to go into the 3rd gen. But thats the limiting factor for people who wanna run coilovers.

Billstein have a factory here, in Romania. There they have a departament were they revalve any strut exactly how you like. Rally pilots here work with this departament. So, the strut is not a problem. But the other parts for the cars are, especially for japanese ones ....

So, anybody, any ideeas? What about coilovers for CIVIC 88 - 91? those BOMZ are what you call "low boyz" ?


Man, my rear left spring is broken, I have no car !!!!!!!

my coilovers from the 98 civic ride really nice. I was pretty suprised that they're not very harsh at all. Its kinda bumpy, but it doesnt feel like your teeth are going to be rattled out of your head everytime you hit a little bump. I think this is due to the fact that the springs probably have a lower spring rate then those for an accord so they ride a little softer. :dunno:

Nxracer, do you know the spring rates for yours?

unfortunately no. i bought them from a friend and she didnt even know what brand they are. they didnt have any markings on them. all i know is that they are blue! sorry.

Mine are 90-97 max-speed, $360 from a shop... probably the only performance place around at the time. Now they are like half that price.
