Tein, Apex, Hayame? Which one, help
Well as of now I have KYB gas shocks with H&R sport springs. My suspension is vibrating, squeeking, bouncy, corners well but time to change. So in about a month after I get all the parts im bringing my car in honda and getting everything fixed. (so i hope, knock on wood) . As of now Im planning on getting the Tein SS coilovers because from what I hear its like driving in a caddy that corners well. But I came across the APEX WS damper coilover and the Hayame coilovers on ebay. Do you guys know or have experiances with any three of these? I want to know about the last two more and hows the ride quality.
Thanks,
Jon

Ehhhhhh I wouldn't associate Hayame with those two other good brands.
A'PEXi or TEIN, you can't go wrong with either one of them. From what you hear about driving like Caddy I seriously doubt it, especially since they utilitize pillow-ball mounts which I don't understand how people can tolerate on the streets.

Well is this going to be a bouncy set-up on either one I go to? Im really looking for a nice ride, im not to hardcore about turning but I will be. I hope to do autocross by the end of this year. I Just dont want a crappy ride.

Then you need a spring rate that fits your balance of street/track use. TEIN has about 2093423094203492304 types of coilovers, not too sure of the name of it but there's this model called "Comfort Master" or some shit. Look it up, you can probably tell I'm lazy right now
