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

 

For that price you can get ksport or D2 coilovers, or even Tein.

 

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

 

Check these guys out, heard good things from them and they're in your price range

Koni G/C or Illumina G/C

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.

 

Cheapest most reliable for DD, is progress.

But cant go wrong with Koni/GC...

 

my buddy also has function form for his slammed gsr and says they are great. he has had them for a little over a year now

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FUNCTION-FOR...6182e3&vxp=mtr function and form 580$ shipped


and to the guy who said progress was the best and cheapest for a dd
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PROGRESS-SER...8f2990&vxp=mtr 599$ shipped

 

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.

 

 

Read around. Numerous people have had problems. And the reason they ride the same at max damping is because the damping "adjuster" does almost nothing.

 

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

 

I like my eibachs. I can't remember what ones they are, but they ride fantastic and handle amazing, imho.

 

hmm thanks guys, im thinking looking into the form and functions now, alot of mixed reviews....

but yeah ive been checking out koni/gc but cheapest ive seen around is like $900

 

if you're dead set on being cheap the progress are the same price as form function and from the reviews on here, hold up a lot better.

telling ya though, save the extra 300 and buy koni/gc if you plan on keeping this car long

 

I've had a lot of corrosion on my Progress sleeves after just a few months. I'm going to be making a post soon in the suspension forum.

 

definitely worth it for the warranty alone, nevermind the ride

 

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.

I heard the Tein Street Basis were decent, they're around $700.00 on ebay.

 

i like my Skunk2 Pro C's. If you dont mind the price, they are very nice to me.

 

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
