I hope you're not planning on driving your car on Edmonton roads? :dunno:
Get solid shocks if you're serious. Those will make the ride really stiff. |

I would recommend not using coilover sleeves if you want stiff then. With those you will have more of a bouncy ball kind of ride then a stiff ride. You want stiff then buy some track type coilvers from a reputable company (ie tanabe or Tien/GReddy).
Edit* there is a good chance that when using ebay coilover sleeves that you may blow your struts(whether they are stock or not) b/c they are not made to work with each other. Sleeves are just a bad idea. |

well may be there is misunderstanding for me
lets say if your car is bouncy does it mean that your suspension is traveling less? or a lot? like i said stiffer the batter if i can get some one here to put still rod insted of strut i will do that!!!! JK
really stiff = bouncy ? |

Holy fuck what a bunch of bullshit in this thread. I know some pretty fast guys using sleeve coilovers and a spring/shock set-up.
Kybs suck and you shouldn't have bought them, but ohwell i made the same mistake, are they agx's atleast?
You dont need brand name coilover suspension to be fast or corner hard, get stiff springs (not sure whats best for an accent but prolly somewherein the 500lbs/in range) and good shocks(konis,tokicos) |

| In all honesty you don't want your car to be stiff at all. Most people seem to think that the stiffer the spring you run the better but thats not actually true. If you run a softer spring it will actually react to changes in the road and help you threw the turn without upsetting the car. Heavier swaybars and properly valved struts that are designed to work with your ride hight are the key. |
