I got TEIN SS coilovers with adjustable shocks on my 2003 4 door I4 auto. Love them. To say they are the best, I am not gonna make a bold statement like that. There are so many different great setups out there using all kinds of spring/shock variations. Koni, Eibach, KYB, Tokico just to name a few. I like the idea of having a matched spring/shock combo, but let me warn you it comes at a price.

I also have tein ss on my 96 accord and I have zero problem ever since I got them a little over 2yrs.
I wont say they are the best either.

I have not experienced any kind of unusual noises coming out of my suspension.

I've heard good things about TEIN SS and TEIN springs with Koni shocks. I will go for that myself.

not too sure about the d2 or tein coils but, i have omnipower fullcoils on my civic hatch and the ride is awsome and there is no clunking noise that some ppl experience. if you have strange noises coming from ur suspension, it was installed wrong. the omni's however, are easy to install and adjust and it doesnt beat the crap out of when driving on the streets.

yo guys i just got my car back from the shop and i had the d2 coilovers installed, i had to wait for 2 months cuz they dont have too much supply. but i gotta say i got a great deal on them and they are really good for the money and the ride is excellent. I have to say compared to teins, i can do very fine dampening adjustments to my likes. I would definately suggest buying d2 coilovers.

well i didnt have teins before but my buddies car has teins ss and i just feel that my d2s ride really nice and more refined in some ways. The d2s are installed on a 6th gen accord, or 02 accord sedan. feel free to ask any questions about the d2s man. and oh yeah if u are gonna order d2s be ready to wait for some time, i feel that it was worth it seeing that couple of nights ago i took the off ramp at around 60 mph, which i think is good for an accord.
