what are you doing it for? Just looks, or a little more performance. Me personally, i wouldn't go with coil overs unless i was gonna track the car. Tein springs or TRD/Eibachs, and KYB's or Tokico's struts are the most common set ups around here

I assume the auction is for coilover sleeves and not an actual full coilover setup? I had ground control sleeves on my old accord and the ride was terrible. I'd go with a full coilover or just do a nice spring and strut combo.

I have a full coilover setup now and the ride is stiff, but direct. The coilover sleeves are all bounce IMO.

^^ You should go with the Spring and Strut then.

NEVER Buy coilover sleeves. They are just plane no good. It'll be bouncing all over the place and the quality of those parts is never good. Even if you just buy springs and put them on your stock struts you would be better off.
Trust me, I'm a technician.
