what do you guys think of ground control coilovers with some white tokico shocks. Is that a decent setup? I'm not looking into spending thousands on my suspension

BERT-O

Suspension setup:

Ground Controls coil-over, paid $380 (this was 4 years ago; the first batch, no problem with them), have almost like 90,000 miles on them. The c/o's were on my '89 Crx SI then to my current civic.

Koni-Adj./yellows. Paid $150 used. The shocks had like 7500 miles before I bought them. Now the shocks have almost like 30,000 miles. No problems what so ever.

For camber correction, I have the front Ingalls upper Adj. kits for the A-arm. Again, the kits were from my original Crx (4 years old ). The kits have almost like 90,000 miles, however, I did swap out the bushing with polyurthene ones since the origanl were plain rubber. Total cost for the whole $225.
The rears, I've only used washer you can pick up at a local hardware store.

For cornering, I'm using the Nuespeed upper tie bar($110) and the rear-upper is a copy-cat version of the old-school Tenzo R(custom made, material $20) and a cheap Focuz lower-rear tie bar($35).

OEM Civic coupe EX/SI(92-95) front sway bar and ITR rear sway bar. Roughly $175 used.

The ride is nice ,comfy yet stiff when cornering. The set-up has about a 2 inch drop/wrapped with "15 Rota w/ Toyo T1-S P195/45r15. This whole set-up is awesome at the track(not the 1320 strip) and street, especially on highway-off ramps.

Again, the prices are way high since this was done almost like 4 years ago. But I did it all at once. The only next mod I gonna do is replace all my bushing but thats in later time.

In my opinion, if your gonna keep this car for a long time and your are assure about quality and performacne. I suggest to used the Name brands, since nowadays there alot of cheap products out there. Some will fail as I've seen a guy spun out of traffic cause his cheap pepboys coil-over set up snap and lost control of the car on a highway, not a pretty site.

COREY ITR#625

Right now I have Neuspeed Race springs with KYB AGX's. The springs came on the car when I bought it with stock GSR shocks. I bought the KYB's from my buddy that came off his GSR for $200. If I end up getting rid of my ITR, the Apexi' N-1's are going on it.

i use eibach sportlines and tokico struts
camber isnt to bad but it could use a camber kit
ride is good
not bouncey
good for dialy driving
try shox.com
you have to email them for prices but they have really good prices
modacar has koni reds and sportlines for 460
but if theres no buget id get a true coilover system like tien or h&r
