dropzone has coilovers for our car fpr 107 + shipping. dont buy any of the ebay coilovers or springs unless the say 86-89 accord... anything else wont be a perfect fit and will ride like shit. i honestly think the meshies look good stock not painted and with a nice drop they will tuck very nicely will lower profile tires.since your moneys tight what i would do is buy the dropzones, ride on stock struts while u save money that way when they do blow (which with a decent drop is inevitable) you can buy some better aftermarket struts. but just remember if you buy the ebay stuff that saves you 50$, you will end up spending more buying good stuff because of how bad the ride will be... unless you just love a shitty ride lol

Hey man, thanks for all the help i really do appriciate it. i got the car home today. Needless to say the motor is gonna need some work. she blowing oil like a bitch. and i am pretty sure its running like it has some sort of vacum leak some where.

Do you know where it blows oilfrom? Also spray some starter fluid or something like that around the vaccum lines and see if idle does something different if it does the a leak if not it's fine. I'd jump on that oil problem before it becomes a huge problem
