Title: Comparison help
Post by: Dynamatt on February 01, 2013, 12:35:04 PM
Hey guys, first time posting here looks like a great, helpful forum. I'm currently running the HFP drop on my '06 Accord EX V6 coupe, and like many before me, it has the saggy back end. I'm looking into new options because I hate have almost -3 degrees camber on my DD. I was curious if anyone is currently running either tokico blues or Koni yellows on their cars, and what spring combos you are running. I love the drop on the Neuspeed sport springs and that is where I may end up but being that thing is my DD and I commute about 350 miles weekly it can't be too stiff. Any opinions or advice?

Thank you in advance

The one thing we encourage is not opening new threads. Take your time and read through the suspension thread. You will see what set ups people are running and what they feel about those products.

I've found that the Neuspeed Supercup kit is fairly comfortable for daily driving. I've ridden in a few cars with it and never felt it was too stif or bouncy. You'll definitely want a camber kit for the rear though.

Many have used the Neuspeed sport and race springs with Koni yellows. Matter of fact, there's the Nuespeed cup kit that couples the springs and shocks together. Its one of the more common suspension combos beside GC coils and Konis or GC with Tokicos.
Matter of fact, here's exactly what I'm talking about: http://www.heeltoeauto.com/neuspeed-super-cup-kit-03-07-accord-v6-cm-supercupkit.acc.4.html (http://www.heeltoeauto.com/neuspeed-super-cup-kit-03-07-accord-v6-cm-supercupkit.acc.4.html)
I highly recommend these guys as they're extremely helpful, fast shipping and overall great customer service. You can't go wrong with them.

I apologize for not searching. I was hoping for a more direct response which I did get. In the future ill search a little more in advance to my posting.

I have definitely been looking into the supercupkit for some time. I've never seen feedback from anyone after they installed it though. Do you have any recommendations on a manufacturer for the camber kit? I know ingalls is the more common so should I just go that route?

Thanks for the quick responses!! As far as the actual shock/ strut options besides adjustable rebound damping on the yellows and adjustable spring perch is there a major ride difference between the two? And what about longevity? Also am I paying to rebuild these or am I buying new ones every time they go out

I'd recommend Ingalls. That's what I've had on my car for about 8 years now. Other camber kits have less adjustment possibilities.

The link I provided gives the option of bundling the Ingalls kit with the cup kit. I advise you to do it Matt. Even a drop as subtle as the HFP or Tein H tech need a camber kit. Why you don't have one, I don't know. Boo on Honda for that one.

:D I know, it's been on my short list but I race dh mountain bikes and my bike is where most of my fun money goes. But this year I'm redoing the suspension on the Honda and possibly selling my TL wheels and getting factory 18's off the 8th gen accord or similar TL

Good luck. Don't forget to create a profile thread. Its a good way to keep a log of what you did.
