Default K, I've been searching suspension set ups.

Ok, I searched this forum for cheap(er) suspension set ups, from what I gathered that's in my price range is KYB AGX's and skunk2 coilovers. Would I need a camber kit? What do you guys think about this match.

I have heard the Skunk2 coilovers are super stiff.

I, however, helped a buddy install KYB AGX's with Neuspeed Sport springs and the ride afterwards was really nice. Great height too. He spent around $450 for the struts and springs, so it is a quality setup for cheap.

Get it aligned afterwards and if they say you need a camber kit, buy one. If you are slamming it, you will definitely need one. 1.5" and higher all depends on how out of spec it is at the alignment shop.

I assume you are just getting the setup for a lowering and some improved cornering but not really much track time?

Yea, I'm trying to get together a handling set up. I don't think I'll be going to a track any time soon. The closest one is in New Jersey, a 6 hour drive. If I ever did get a set up for track, what would I need? What would need to be different.

What's the condition of the springs? Are they for a 95 civic? Do they come with spring seats?

The AGX's coupled with a set of quality springs should suffice for occasional track time but for the more spirited racer who sees plenty of track time to warrant the purchase, a much more expensive coilover/damper system would be a better idea.

Before you decide on anything. How low do you want to go?

If they didn't come with them it probably doesn't need them. So scratch that whole seat thing.

For neuspeed, it says that 92-95 spring number is 55.20.17, and is a 1.6 rear 1.8 front.

For 96 it says part number 55.20.21, 1.5 rear 1.75 front.
