    looking for suspension

    i'm finally making decent money so i can afford to do a suspension on my 88 accord lx. i'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as far and shocks and springs go. i want the ride quality to be decent, like in my 94 accord lx coupe which has nuespeed springs and tockico (forgive me if i spelt it wrong) shocks. i'd like decent handleing as well but the main reasone for getting springs and shocks is to lower it. so if anyone has any suggestions i'd really appreciate it.
    one of my 88 lx's is up for parts. good engine and transmission. pretty much everything is there. the fenders and hood are bad but other than that it's pretty good.

    RIP my beutiful 5g coupe. May the villans rot in hell!

    find these for the accord.. better yet, call in.. i like the setup, its pretty stiff, but not too bad... i would recomend not getting 17's.. its really harsh then.. but with 15's its very nice

    yah.. they are pretty sweet for the price.. you get front and rear coilovers with shocks built in... and if the shocks ever blow, send em back and they will replace them...

    oh.. you will have to do a little bit of modifying.. the rear doent have top hats, so you have to cut the top loop of the rear spring and have the new coilover spring welded to it... but other than that.. you can make it sooo low that you bottom the shocks out, or soooo high that its like an inch taller than stock

    ok well i'm looking more into the possibilites of used stuff now. my cousin fell asleep at the wheen of my car so that has to be repaired now, so i can't really spend as much as i thought. so if anyone has anything useld let me know. i'm open to all suggestions (that have to do with me buying a suspension)
