This is purely opinion and not technically related at all. But if you want my opinion, none of the above.

or should i go ground control nd koni yellows

Megan Coilovers if you have to, but they are roughly near the price of some better coilovers so just save more and put the cash to it. A good coilover setup should be around $1k. And imo I think rota gt3's are hideous on an EM2.

yea if i had no other choice i still would get neather i just orderd full progress competition coilovers for $995 shipped megan and d2 are garbage and the d2 welding is awful they both are unreliable do some research .

Whats up guys? I have an '05 Civic LX in desperate need of a drop. I would like to go with an adjustable strut, shock package for a smoother ride, but the options are very limited. I do not want to hack up the factory struts, so Koni's are out. My question is, do the Tokico D-dpecs require modification, or are they just a direct fit? If not, I have to go with the Blue's. I guess. I'm thinking about mating them with Neuspeed sport springs. Any help would be great guys. Thanks

Progress coilovers are on the cheaper side of coilovers. Look up the price of some Moton dampers, then you'll see expensive.

LMAO! imma stop makin post cuz everytime i say something im always wrong..!

jdm em2

"qoute that post" bet u are..

Thanks guys, I'll check into progress coilovers. The price isn't much more than good struts, shocks, and springs. Are they delivered "ready to install", no modification? You will have to pardon my ignorance, I have never installed coilovers. Just springs and shocks on about 5 Mustangs. The easiest cars to work on.

some people paid that much for their EMII's Matt

D-specs you will have to modify your hood to provide space for the adjustment *****.

not2fst

Modify my hood? Modify my stock struts. So basically I have alot of unnecessary work to do, unless I get coilovers.

i bought used neuspeed sports ($50 CAD) and used tokico blues ($180 CAD)
and i'm getting them installed this weekend. I can post pics up after the drop.


coilovers just so damn pricey...

not2fst

Hatorade, that would be mighty nice of you. And yes coilovers are too damn much money. Let me know how they ride compared to stock. thanks again.

GENslevin

koni and gc's are the best option you have up there, if your looking for cheaper then you can get some shitty drop zones, but i wouldn't recommend that

check your PM's not2fst

Just my 2c... I've been working on suspension on both road & race cars (many different makes & models) for about 8 years, and in my experience - coilovers are fantastic for the street but you need to spend the money on them. Cheaper coilovers often are a step backwards.... both in ride comfort & handling. I think you'd be better off installing the Koni & spring package for the money.
Also depends on what you're expecting performance-wise too. Sounds like a cheeky question, but one I've often asked customers:
"Are you really going to drive the car hard enough (and legally) to get the most out of your suspension etc?? Or is it predominately for looks?"
Its surprising how many people change their mind once they seriously consider value for money!!! (and ride comfort etc etc...)
Just my 2c....

well regarding the progress coil overs you mite need to replace the upper strut bearings for plastic ones from a 01 $35 bucks but thats it.you should also upgrade your bushings.
