I have BCRs; if I had the chance the do it again I would get the BCRs again, but with a 14k/10k spring rate instead of 12k/8k.

depends on your setup, what may be right for you may not be for others. You still have the stiffness to play with and dial it in.

Ive had Megan EZs for aboyt 6 months now with no issues. If your not looking to track the car and only have it for street use, theyre the best bang for your buck IMO

I also have a friend whos maxed out his EZs on his Accord for about 25K miles with no issues as well

Placing an order with AMR Engineering for AWD-specific 11/9 coilovers. Had them on my 99 Accord and ran them year round at the same height setting for two years. These things are bulletproof. They also come with a lifetime warranty, although the MSRP is much higher than $1k lol.

I'll see if I can find a pic of my Accord with the coils on.

Edit:

With 17s on:



Factory 16s:
