Coilover opinions
Just picked up my 99 integra RS about 2 weeks ago, looking to pick up a set of coilovers for it.
Just wondering what i should go with as i have no experience with any types
Thinking about lowering it ~2 inches and looking for a good ride, not too worried about performance as its just my DD, got about 750$ to spend

Re: Coilover opinions
if you find a good deal, possibly even skunk2 pro-s V2 coilovers. If you buy them new, they will feel very stiff until they are broken in. After that, smooth sailing/ride

Re: Coilover opinions
i have a 1994 integra rs and i just recently purchased function and form type 1. possibly the smoothed riding coil-overs. my EK hatch has skunk2 pro-s and a friend em2 has progress. I've felt the ride of pretty much most coil-overs. my number one has to be the function and form. not including i picked them up off of eBay for 585.99 shipped to my door.

Re: Coilover opinions
Function form type 1s can be found for 550 shipped. i havent heard any complains about them thinking bout getting them since ive heard they give a real smooth ride even when maxed out.

Re: Coilover opinions
some guys have had good luck with progress in the low cost bracket. personally speaking i would and did spend a couple hundred more on koni/gc. purchased in 2008, have had zero issues. they also have a lifetime warranty.
when it comes to shocks the warranty is a big big deal. if one leaks koni has your back
see how far you get with a blown skunk or form function

Re: Coilover opinions
save another 150$ & go with BC racing, 1 year warranty & after that only like 70$ per coilover to have them rebuilt if needed, Since you don't plan on Slamming your car prolly won't ever have to rebuild them, I just Purchased the New Extreme drop version & i love them Great ride quality.

Re: Coilover opinions
Progress or Koni/GC would be my only choices.
Personal experiences: ksport= bouncy, FF type 1=bouncy & clunky, D2= similar to ksport. skunk2= embarrassing bouncy
I'm on Pogress right now I LOVE this coilover set for my DD. I bought the extra rear spring set for my track days Top notch quality and excellent customer service
