-#2: Higher spring rates mean you need greater damping power to make them ride decently, or you'll bounce all over the place Which means you need a performance shock. If you want a good ride with either springs or coilovers, you have to get a better shock, end of stork.
-Skunk2s have relatively high spring rates, that's why your ride wasn't very comfortable. They're actually a performance suspension, unlike the OBX system
-they are fully adjustable and ride excellent compared to the set of skunk2 and agx I had

I had the good combo, still rode like ass, ALL coilover do have a high spring rate, something that is less than 12" tall to support part of a 2500lb car has to, Aftermarket spring do have a high spring rate but over a taller spring, that's why in general, springs ride better than coilvers. Only reason I'm pointing all this out is because I spent $$$ on my suspension...I didn't buy washer lights, or vtec lights here, you said obx isn't performance, I'm stating that a fully treaded body, coilover/strut assembly, w/ 16 way adj struts is not going to be cheap, even if it says OBX it still retails for $1200, its adj, perf when I need it. That's all, if I said I hate integra drivers would you defend yourself?
