Hi guys, I've been doing some digging about which setup is suitable for my Honda accord SDA

First of all, I just change my stock tyre and rims to 17" with 215/50/17 tyre. So it's a little smaller than stock, which means bigger fender gap

With budget in priority, I need your suggestion whether I should go for Eibach pair with KYB shocks or Apexi Adjustable Absorber. from what I researched Eibach and KYB will set me back to around RM1.9-2k,while apexi adjustable from Brothers told me its RM1,250. I DO know that it will compromise on comfort but forumers gave their reviews that Eibach has better comfort than other springs. I really wish to spend only 1.2k-1.4k on a good suspension.

Noob question : If im using my current rims and tyre which is now 4 finger gap from fender. how low will it go when using eibach pro kit?

Any of you have any other suggestion on which I should go with? or anyone has any used ones for sale?

thanks

Especially on an Accord, I always recommend to stick to the original springs but you can use OEM shocks such as KYB, APM, Showa or Monroe.

Since you've changed your rims, you may as well go with the Eibach + KYB shocks. These brands are proven reliable aftermarket replacements.

Avoid the APEXI from Brothers as those are imitation stuff. Brothers will never sell high quality aftermarket replacement parts. I will only go to Brothers to buy car shampoo, wax and polish.

Ahh no wonder they're so cheap! When u say stick to ori spring and go for kyb shocks, it wont bring the car lower right

I wish to bring the fender gap from 4 fingers to 2. But idk if eibach pro kit can do that as i seen review that it only lowers a bit

Yes. if you reuse the original spring, the ride height will remin the same.
