2 suspension questions
What is usually better for an everydaydriver/streetracer, Coilovers or springs? Also out of the three what sounds better H&R springs, Groundcontrol Coilovers, or skunk 2 Coilovers. I want a smooth ride + take some hard corners. I'm hearing good news about all of them.

looks like you want coils to me.
But for daily driving use springs. Use Eibach.
And there is no such thing as a spring thats smooth and corners hard, its one or the others.
LASTLY, street racing is for morons, I hope you get your car taken from you before you hurt someone.

Re: (Vero)
Coilovers are nice because you can lower and raise your car. But how often does anyone do that? Coilovers will blow out your shocks after time being there they have a shorter spring. This causes the shock to compress to a point where it not as effective. Just get a good set of springs and you'll be good.

ive been rockin my ground control on my hatch for three years with stock struts
go with ground control... they are smooth and out of the three they are the easiest to adjust.

Re: (slambedcivic)
Honestly how often do you think you will be lowering your car? I think the coilovers are a waste of money. Just grab a good set of springs as stated above and you will be content

Re: (-_-)
It's difficult to get them even, and you need a new alignment everytime you change the height.
Struts are just as important to handling and more important to ride quality than springs.
What was said about coilovers reducing the lifespan of struts isn't true of all coilovers, and isn't true if you don't drop the car more than 1.5. Some coilovers have adjustable upper perches, and some struts have adjustable lower perches or short stroke. And some people like me don't know about that kind until after they buy some tokicos, so we do the strut stroke correction mod.
Smooth ride + hard corners = swaybars
