if you gonna go all out check out penkse or the moton setups...

if you gonna go simple design a good set of coilovers should do the trick.

Zeal,Tein,Jic,SRR,Sustec, are all awesome units.

Well, that is another thing, I want to be able to utilize USDM LCA's on my Civic. I know that with the Teins you need JDM LCA's. Are the Progress coils any good?

You'll be good to go with a set of GC & Konis.

To my knowledge, 6g USDM and JDM LCA's are exactly the same. The JDM CTR upper control arms are nifty solid pieces though, unlike the stamped crap that we get.
Oh, and you can't use ITR LCA's on 6g Civics.

my koni ground control setup is AWESOME i can go REALLY low if i so choose, and the handling is smooth as silk even with the stock ground control spring rates ( not at the lowest setting tho )

So I take it that you guys would reccomend Ground Controls over the Skunk2's anyday correct? If so, can I get different stiffness springs witht he kit or will I have to get them afterwards?
