    ST shocks/springs

    I am purchasing the ST shocks/springs like this, the last set for $250 with shipping and handling. Is it good or bad? I don't need anything super-pooper expensive, all is just about price. I don't want to buy tokico's or koni's, because it will cost me over $400 for suspension, which I don't want to afford.

    Ok, I didn't understand what did you mean american boat? Stiff ride? If I could i would use tubes or anything like that instead of the shocks for stiffness.
    Yes, I am from Russia, what part of it are you from?

    they are OEM shocks... the lowering springs you get are very stiff... so the struts cant handle them..

    if you want cheap drop, i recomend Intrax springs. I used to have them on my first accord. i had them with stock honda struts. I couldn't tell the diff between the stock springs and lowered springs. the car didn't bounce at all.
    the springs will run you about $219 http://www.modacar.com/products/Honda/Accord/MODASPR/
    if you need specs for them i have the specs.

    i am from Tyumen region, city Nefteyugansk.
