my friends coilovers were true coilovers i just can't remember what kind cuz he got rid of them shortly after he let me drive his civic... i know they weren't cheap ebay special kind, but anyways I really think i'm gonna go with the H&R Cup Kit cuz it will give me the height I want and I know H&R makes hella good suspension cuz that's what my friend put on his civic after the coilovers and I love the way it handles now... but i do appreciate everyone's help, i think i would have gone with the KYB AGX's if it weren't for the fact that I can get the cup kit for the same price as the combo i mentioned b4.
