Labor and parts. Can't forget about the crazy electrical gremlins they're plagued with as well.

Glad to see you've decided to keep the Accord. I saw your post on IG last night.

Did you get the full set up on all 4 corners, or did you just get the front set up to help get over speed bumps?

[toinkee69]

i'm happy as well, tim.

only fronts for now. will get rear cups in the future. one inch rise will give the same drive quality, more than that its a stiff ride since springs are compressed. i love this set up rather than air bags.

That's the kind of set up I need. Something that I can just raise the front a bit for pulling into the driveway and speed bumps.

Would you post specs of your current front set up or a link?

i'm on BC extreme low coilovers. i went with stance solutions because they have the size for my shock shaft. Other air cup companies only offer 20mm or larger. Also stance solutions will raise the car 2 inches, some only one inch. There are a lot of companies that make air cups. Go on instagram and search tags # air cups and you'll see others.

coming from bags, air cups fits my liking. you get ride quality with coilovers. reliable, you can get home even if you have problems with air. 2 inches is a reasonable rise. cheaper air management system.

Thanks for the info. Definitely something for me to look into as an upgrade.
