    if thats the case i assume ground controls would fit the same

    since GCs are interchangable with the other brands on 3gs..

    in 1 thread jim said you "could" buy cheapo coilovers and then just buy the GC springs...

    but if you are buying GC you are spending 300 anyway, it wont be that much cheaper for 90-97, so why not just buy them for the 3g?!

    Because it is a hell of a lot easier to find used GCs for 90-97 accords then it is to find them for 86-89. Does anyone actually know if they will fit or is assumptions the best i am going to get??

    No one has purchased 90-97 GC's and put them on a 3g.

    Several members have successfully installed other sleave type coilovers ment for 90-97 accord with out any issues. On noteable exception was a member that installed skunk2 coilovers ment for the 90-97 accord. He is unable to drop the front end of the car lower than as if he was running a 1.5" drop.

    Their is not reason why koni's would not work.

    CG people are very nice, you may want to try and call them and explain what your trying to do. Ask them nicely if they can compair a set of 3g to 4g coilover assemblies side by side. It's a long shot, they probely won't do it, but ya never know.

    BTW, how much can you pick up a set of used 90-97 GC's for?

    The right struts and a good set of coilovers or springs will out handle and out ride, air or hydro any day. Don't buy air or hydro unless your from the show crowd.

    I know the main reason you posted was to plug your ad, but the way people are aroung here, well ya know

    Whoa, that's way different, I'd have to be the one to install them myself to ever believe they'd work.

    Hmmm, I'd call hp racing and find out their spring rates for 90-97 coilovers, their only $139

    HP RACING 90-97 accord $139.66 www.nopionline.com

    Are they the same quality as GC, who know's, GC does have a fenominal(ms) reputation.
