Recommend best coilover for money.
I have an 00 Si. I'd like to get a set of coilovers. I recently bought a set of Stance coilovers for my Evo and am very happy with those.
Which coilovers are best for a Civic? I just want a basic set as this car is a daily driver. Nothing outrageously expensive. Quality and durability are concerns. I have no problems with a stiff ride so that is not an issue.

Well what Im going with and something that has great reviews and a great price are the Function and Form Type 1's. Great overall DD coilover and for $630 shipped it's a great price!

I am actually strongly considering the Progress CS-II. Probably with 350front/350rear spring rates. Might consider 350/500. Any known issues with the CS-II? Main concerns are quality and durability?

Never heard any issues with them that's why I bought a set. So far I cannot comment on ride quality since the weather has prevented me from getting them on. They are not for slamming your ride so if that's what you want get F&F.

Koni Yellow/Ground Control setup. The Koni yellow shocks are lifetime warranty. For the EK chassis, 8k/6k springs are pretty good for DD, 10k front, 8k rear for track or depending on your conditions.

I am liking what I am reading about the Progress CS-II, I'm thinking of dropping my Civic to the point where the tire is flush with the fender, and I need a higher spring rate over my Tokicos.

Re: Recommend best coilover for money.
So how low are you running them? Just curious. I rebuilt my B18C and now my Tokico HPK201s can't keep my tires on the road when VTEC engages, so I'm back in the market for suspension.

Ive rode in several cars with Function Form type ones and they rode better than factory. Plus theyre about the cheapest fullbody coils you can buy. I wouldnt suggest sleeve coilovers.
