if you drop the rear a bit it should feel smoother. With the rear raised you're weight transfer is biased more towards the front, making the rear feel springier in a way. If you level it out, the back should feel better.

I also have the same setup, but 450f/350r. Feels friggin awesome on the street and hugs corners REALLY well.

Is there a good suspension setup for just daily driving? I just want something a tad bit lower (just purchased stock em1) but want the comfortable ride. I don't plan on any racing or tracking.

progress cs2 are good for daily driving if you stick with lower spring rates.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, logically. Its not a drastic difference, but you can tell its a tad bit higher in the rear. When I get my exhaust installed, I'll have them adjust it a little lower. But hell yeah man, I'm really liking the Progress CSII's...they're awesome! Really happy with the purchase!

Thanks,

I recently got engaged, and put a 20% coupon code on our facebook page, and instgram that is good till the 01/10/16 FYI. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year. Got plenty of parts in stock to build both Accord, and Civic setups.

Congrats on your engagement, and Happy Holidays. Wow what a deal, but I don't see the 20% coupon code on your FB page. Am I not looking in the right place?

DAMN, how did I miss this post?? I really never saw the discount posted, but it looks as though I did not look hard enough on your FB page. Guess I'll have to wait for the next one...

Hello there looking for some help since i am new to the Honda sence. I have a 99 civic sedan and I was given these looks like stock struts with a sleeve attached and a spring and was told they were for my car. After researching the part number on the shock they are for and integra but anyways I have already ordered Ebachi sportline springs and KYB struts and was going to just run that set up or do you guys think I should use the sleeve and spring and mount to my new KYB struts. I use it only as my daily driver to work 90 miles each way all freeway but I like to have some fun and sometimes take up some mountain roads. Please let me know your suggestions.

Is this the "600-range" Koni that was meant? Different price here. This thread has been the best.

Have been researching for several weeks now and was about to decide between:
Progress CS II - $562.40
AMR's - $991.25

Both of which are great deals btw. but then I see that Progress CS III are available but have no description. Price on these is $703.62.

Any input?

So I ended up going with AMR, can't beat the lifetime warranty, quality, design and overall package looks superb! I ordered January 1st and received them first week of February so the turnaround time was actually surprisingly quick and just as Andy had mentioned. I have yet to install due to no garage space and poor weather but will definitely post review once done. Thanks again Andy I will definitely recommend the product to others.

A lot of useful information here! Although I would like to get an opinion on my 1997 Civic EK Sedan. I plan on lowering it about 1.5 inches from standard ride height, but I'm kind of stuck with these 14 inch tires, but I plan on buying new 14 inch Konig Rims, look wise do you think that paired with lowering springs this will make for a nice look? or are 14's just not gonna cut it, thanks! I can send pcitures of the car if needed as well

I really didn't mind having 14". I liked the look of the HX rims and they're lightweight. If I had 14" steelies I definitely would have gotten 15 or 16. Lowered about 2" on Koni/GC is fun in the mountains.
