Don't accords have upper and lower control arms in the front? Never had a problem with reverse flow cylinders on anything. You could use a single pump but you would have to lift the entire car then dump out the front and rear to get to the height you desire. That would suck if you were driving and only wanted to lift the front up. Those swivel cups that Chad posted a link to look neat but I have never used those. I have done several strut cars with reverse flow cylinders, sleeved and welded to the original strut casing with custom made upper mounts and accumulators. Never had anything come back broken. CCE and Prohopper are both good companies and sell kits for around $1000. I know that you can have them put what you want in the kit so you don't get extra parts, like if you want reverse flow cylinders instead of regualr cylinders.

I used a single pump with eight dumps four on the up four on the down.Never had a problem other than relays.A dump can stop a flow.

i had a prohopper setup on my ram, the only problem i had was the front cylinders leaking, i changed the seals out & put in viton o-rings & the solved the problem, i also work at a shop that sells hydraulic hoses & fittings, send me an email w/ the list of parts you need & i will price them for you, jrivers@jgbhose.com usually all the fittings are JIC (flare) thread on the hoses & then pipe thread going into the accumulators & pumps & dumps, also you will probobly want to upgrade to a better check valve, i suggest a parker square check valve, those work great & the little ones that come in the kit clog up very easy & will cause your car/truck to leak down when its lifted

I'm really thirsty, and juice sounds AMAZING!

I was looking at the Pro Hopper set up for when i get ready to buy... sounds like a winner.
