2002 Accord upgrade
I just bought a 2002 Accord EX V6 coupe, very nice, very clean. Only
20K on the clock. I love this car, but it feels, well...kinda "mushy". Having come from a series of BMW's, I want this car to have more of a "on rails" feel to it. Does anyone have suggestions for suspension improvements? Web sites or aftermarket tuners? Thanks for any input. Jeff |

If you are referring to the fact that shocks and struts are different on a Honda versus a BMW--you are right. It's my guess that you should be able to get new shocks or struts for your Honda at a store or business that sells lots of different types of shocks and stuts. Tell the manager what you want--and they should be able to sell you what you need. It's possible that you will never be satisfied since other factors besides shocks and struts effect "ride". |

Re: 2002 Accord upgrade
if you are coming out of a BMW which first of all out weighs the Honda, you
are dreaming. The "on rails" feeling you decribe is designed into BMW cars and paid for by you. You pay less for the Honda (a great car for what it is) and you get less. I love Hondas and BMWs. I own both. But the Honda will not live in the performance range of a Bimmer.
