Default **Type of Suspension??**

whats up HT i have a question....now i am new to the Honda scene because i owned a TL before my EM1 so i would like to know what are the best 1 piece coil overs for the EM1??....i want quality and i want to be able to adjust the settings to my liking, now i did some research and i have a few choices but i need your opinions as to which is best as far a ride quality and best bang for the buck would be...here's what i was considering

1. Function and Form Coil overs
2. K-Sport Coil overs
3. D2 Coil overs
4. Skunk 2 pro series
5. .......anything you guys recommend?........

thats what i was considering so can you please give me some input as to what you guys know about these and which ones are the best bang for the buck.......i had H&R Sport Springs on the TL and i loved the ride quality but i want to be able to raise the car up for winter and with the spring/shock combo i cant so that and i don't want to consider sleeve/shock combo- Steve

Tokico/GC coilovers or Koni/GC are both good setups. Depending on the use of the car you can get custom spring rates on the GC's to suit your driving needs

wow that was fast

ive heard a few good things about pics and i didnt think the sleeve/shock combo was so popular

anyone know anything on the function and form coil overs im really leaning towards either those or the pics because i figure by the time i spend the money on the sleeve/shock combo i might as well go ahead and buy the 1 piece

dont get the illuminas if your planning on attending some track events. i bought the tokico illuminas adjustable -5 and even on 5 the shocks were way to soft.they are great for the street but i dont recommend them for the track.

I'm not sure about the rest, but Skunk2 Pro-S/Pro-C have shortened shock bodies, which means you can't adjust the car up to a normal ride height even if you wanted to.

I almost got F&Fs but opted for S2s because they were cheaper. Now I get to plow my own roads this winter.
