the budget that i set out for was just for the coilover or springs not including the shocks. I mean i am willing to get expensive i just want a lowered car with a smooth rid to it u know. I am just not that familar with aftermarket suspension parts. but from what you said gorund control are the best on the market right now. so GC use eibach for springs that i werid.

 

Ohhh okay, I get it now Well...have you thought of full coilovers? It's a set, so basically you dont have to buy a combo of coilovers and shocks...that is the smoothest ride if you are considering coilovers.

 

I got Maxspeed springs on my civic wit 17's( payed $200 with install) and theres hardly no gap and ride and handle is good.



GroundControl=overpriced.

 

Im sure they handle cool, but I know for a fact that the ride quality sucks. I had this setup on my Civic w/Tokico blues and it sucked major *ss. It felt like I was riding in a minitruck w/about 5 coils cut off the stock springs. I could only take that beating for a week, I traded them in for some H&R Race coils, so much better.

Phat8186, the best springs out there are H&R, Neuspeed and Eibach. Some decent shocks are KYB(AGX and GR-2, the latter being non-adjustable)Koni, Tokico, and some peeps have a thing for Bilstien. Get some adjustables is you can afford them and have the patience to be able to save up the $ to get them. The favorite one's seem to be Koni Yellows, they are 2 way adjustable, you can adjust the damper and the ride height as well. The KYB AGX come in second, alot of people get them because they are cheaper than the yellows, but they have adjustable dampers as well. Tokico Illuminas, I haven't heard of too many people with them, most likely since the AGX are basically the same, but cost a bit less. For non adjustables, seems most people have either Tokico blues, Bilstien, or Koni Reds. The KYB GR-2 is also non adjustable, and they are the most affordable one's of the bunch, for example, a set for my 5th gen Accord would run me $160 brand new, whereas a set of AGX would run upwards of $300. I have heard alot of good things about the GR-2 from people who have them on their Accord w/same springs as me (Neuspeed sports, 1.5"F, 1.75"R) so those are gonna be my springs of choice. Should I run into some money, or all of a sudden experience some abundance of patience, I would go with the AGX instead for the adjustability. Hope this helps.

 

dont do suspension half assed. get some teins...
