Roughly how much would it be for an RSX-S? I was planning on getting the Mugen SS, as I really am more of a "set-it-and-forget-it" type of guy, and don't really want to deal with adjusting ride height to make sure it's even & whatnot.

But hey, you never know...

That's what I said...I'm still going Bilstein. External rear reservoirs ftw.

Nelson - Thanks for the info. However, as I clearly stated, this is for *Interest Gathering*. In no way this is a group buy. If we're deciding on the GB, we'll either do it outside of HAN or I'd request approval from the Admin. I've been here long enough to know. 2. I'm not advertising. I'm simply re-state 95SiR's review, posting the picture of how they'd look like for those who don't know. Also, this thread is in the basement and opened for discussion, not in the FS or Market Place forum. I believe that I'm doing right, according to the TOS.


DC2 - As far as I recall, Teins and HKS are wayy overpriced. This is about the price of the Tein's basic. Keep in mind that they offer Custom Rates and valving, and not "default" like that website you saw, which would be kinda stiff and harsh. Look at Eddie's review on the feels and structure of those coilovers.

I've had Tokico RAK Competion Coilover on my previous car, and I love how it handles. That's why I spent lots of time in search for a company that allows me to have control of what I want. I was looking into ksport as well, but I've heard that they fall short of customer service. That's why I've moved on to F&F. The owners come from honda scene, so I guess that they can tell what we'd want in a good setup

Jae - They'll get back with me on yours since it's a special application that they'd have to order
Jgordon - They do have it for your RSX-S.

Current price for both of you is around 900 bucks - Full retail, BUT they can knock it down a lot more if we're buying. I estimate to around $700s or so.

anyone else?

I'm not saying that that Tein or HKS aren't overpriced. Even with Eddie saying they *look* to be of good quality, and the ride is nice...I'm still skeptical about the actual quality of the coilovers. They are brand new, and nobody has had them for an extended period of time. It may very well be a great product at a great price, but most people would like to go with a name they know and trust. Custom valving and spring rates are nothing if the long term quality isn't there. That's not to say that they aren't good quality...they just haven't been tried and trusted.
