Posted February 6, 200916 yr Ive run a very heavy system in my trunk for a while, and it dropped my rear suspension, and raised my front, ruining my acceleration and handling, this summer i plan on doublin the weight of the system. But before i do so, i need a suspension upgrade. at first i looked at an air ride, but i dont have room for the tank. so ive decided on a coilover suspension. The problem is, i have no idea what is a good brand, where to buy, what specs are good or bad. Im also not tryin to spend a ton of money. a quick search on yahoo gave prices from 800 to 1200++++. Id really like an affordable one just to help with weight. My car is a 95 accord, approx wieght of new system.....425lbs+-50...plus about 2.5 dynamat extreme trunk kits
February 6, 200916 yr air shocks dont take a tank. they have an air line.... and you filll them to your highth of ride you want, no takes no on board compresser.
February 8, 200916 yr Well man i can help you with a new suspension if you would like. I know a company that designed a suspension specifically for heavy stereo systems, i am trying to find them again!! But good luck with your search and let me know if i can help you. Thanks man.
March 13, 200916 yr Coil overs are your best bet. Check out one of the million Honda forums and they should be able to help you out.I would never go with air shocks. Shock mounting points are not designed to take the stress of the entire weight of a car, that's the springs job. Plus it will ride and handle horrible. This would be the cheapest and easiest method, however.
