I had that set up on my CRX, and I have it on my current Civic hatch, I love it. A lot of people hate the blues, but I've always like them. Anybody that rides in my car seems to like the ride, no complaints

are the blues adjustable? how much are they? rodrez how much is your car dropped? can those shocks handle big drops like 2.5-3 inches? sorry about all the questions.

They're not adjustable. My car isn't dropped super low, it's on 15's, about a finger gap all around. Not sure if they handle big drops, I've never tried it before.

It's a decent setup.... I ran with it in my CRX awhile back. But now, good coilover kits, like the Tein Basic set is almost the same price as if you were to get some decent shocks and then some coilover springs & collars, and from my old setup on my daily driver DA Integra (Tokico HP struts and Skunk2 coilovers), the car rides much smoother and handles much better with the Tein Basic setup, and overall price is maybe a difference of $100. You have to realize that with a real coilover setup, the spring is made specifically for that shock where as with Tokicos and Skunk coilovers, there's lots of variables to play with, but it's still a decent setup to roll around on.

That's true, nowadays, coilover set ups like Tein are a little more affordable, and more people are using them. I can't bitch about it though, I paid very little for both cars suspension set ups, and I'm pretty happy right now with the way rides/handles, but maybe in the future, I might move on to a full coilover set up.
