Default YES! another coilover suspension question. (need input)

Goin to pick up the integra in a couple weeks and the first thing im going to be working on is the suspension. After riding and cheap ass coilovers with my civic, im ready for a nice smooth ride. Havent really decided on what Coilover setup to go with yet.

NEX coilovers, anyone heard of these? i searched on here and found mixed thoughts about them. :thumbup: OR :ghey: (info too)

Tein Basic. of course Tein is going to be nice, but does anyone have any experience with these?

Ground Controls/Skunk2 with some aftermarket struts, dont know which ones yet.

what are your guys suggestions? pretty much a daily driver car but i want a good ride and good performance/handling.

TIA

I'd go with the tein basic or ss if you can afford it. The only problem I've heard of with Tein is rust.

Hands down, either TEIN or H&R for coil's.. but if you're daily driving, no need for coils and I think you'll hate the stiffness of the ride sooner or later.

TEIN Basic is worthless. Unless you want the TEIN name and to say you have "coilovers".

If you decide to go TEIN...go with the SS or the FLEX. Otherwise, the Ground Control/Skunk2 mated with Koni Sports or Tokico Illuminas will be a better setup.
