Not how I plan to use the Accord but with it sharing the same powerplant as the Type R and having other high appeal performance characteristics, stickier tires will be an asset.
The stock suspension is a tad too floaty even on the "Sport" model. It's adequate for a street car, but sub-par for track usage. Some lowering springs, a beefier rear sway bar, some good rubber and upgraded pads and brake fluid would definitely improve it's track presence though.
I seen this mentioned a lot and ever since been considering getting an aftermarket coiilover system. My budget does allow for going at high as KW Suspension but I might settle for something entry-level from brands like Tein. Even springs alone MIGHT do it for me, but adjustable dampening is attractive!
I'm going to pull the trigger on the H&R 1.2" springs probably within the next week or two. Not that the Accord has a huge wheel gap, but it'll look soooo much better dropped a little and I think it'll also tighten up the handling characteristics a bit.
Just make sure you're prepared for the break in period because springs (from my experience) take at least a couple weeks of regular driving to finally set in.
Looking forward to seeing your setup once installed if you plan on posting pictures.
