Default Which Coilovers?

Alright, i have a 1995 Civic EX and i will be soon dropping a B18C in and adventually boosting. Before i do that, im going to do my suspension. Im looking at the: *Tein Superstreet SS Coilovers* the *Spoon Sports Non-adjustable Damper Kit* and the *Omnipower Sports Kit*. Which setup would be best?

depends how much you want to spend. The Omni Kit is real nice to $650.00 or you can spend the extra 500 and get the tein

Well price isnt an issue, sure id have to save longer, but id rather have a better product then save a few hundred. So the Tein are better then the Omni if im willing to spend the $$?

I'd go with the omni's. The spring rates in the ss' are too weak. Especially for a boosted honda, which will see mostly drag.

I'd say at least a front camber kit. Thats where you will notice bad camber, especially on tires. Rear camber wont wear fast, because there isnt much weight in the rear anyways.

I found a site...kteller.com...that sells the Sport kit, LCA,and f/r camber kit for $874, which is still cheaper then the Teins, should i just go ahead and buy the kit if i have the money? Or do i really just need camber kit?

I'd go for it. It just added everything and thats a good deal. :thumbup:

Heres the math i did from passwordjdm's prices:
Coilovers- $650
LCA's- $110
Camber- $260

And their package price is $950.

sounds like a good suspension setup to me. I would suggest the comptech sway bar and tie bar combo
