Coilover questions
After doing my research I made up my mind to save enought for a set of

Vehicle will be a daily driver(5-7miles daily) with some track time & street racing.
AMR coilovers
D2 Coilovers
Omni adjustables or non adjustable
Function and form

I just installed some omni power (street) coilovers on my 2000 integra and they are awsome. Steering is very responsive, they ride alittle stiffer than stock but absorb bumps in the road with silky smoothness, and in hard turns they stiffen up alot and make hard cornering a piece of cake. These are the ones with the tylte system and you can really tell that they have it.

Somehow that seems like an oxymoron to me. My car is on stock springs with Koni shocks (lowest perch setting) and it rides fairly stiff even on the softest damping setting. It sure as hell does not absrob any bumps, especially not with any silky smoothness.
When you combine silky smoothness in a suspension with a lowered stance, you're pretty much guaranteed to bottom out, which then removes any smoothness in the ride that you thought you were going to have.

Congrats on 16,000. What I meant by it was that is you can really feel the road better like you make a slight change in your direction and the car takes immediate action like it is stickier (hense the stiffer part) but when hitting bumps in the road the car keeps good contact with the ground while not being abusive and what I would despribe as being a very nice, smooth ride. Like a BMW or any other high end car with a tuned suspension.
