I have a V6 Accord Coupe with 290k miles, and it is a daily driver.

It is a lot of fun to drive though, and I want to get the shocks and struts replaced.

I'm thinking Orange Koni's. It is stock height, and I have no interest in lowering it.

Is that a good deal?

I don't want to cheap out, but don't want to spend the $$$ on Bilsteins either. I can get the Konis for cheaper than a pair of Bilsteins cost. And the car does have close to 300k miles on it.

What is the sweet spot for durability, fun, and cost?

The car literally looks like it only has about 60k miles on it. I painted it (crappy dark honda paint failed back in 08), so everyone thinks it looks like new. I bet I can get another 100k miles out of it easily.

Every mechanic I let work on it always says, "if you EVER sell this car, let me take a shot at buying it!" I do everything I can on it myself, but I'm lucky. It was my sister's car, and she babied it.

Is Koni a good brand?

Is there a site that is cheaper for these?

Oh, and any sites that you all suggest to learn about these shocks/struts, please post em!

Thanks!
