I have a 96 coupe with a b16a2 i put Tein Coilovers and they were amazing, taking sharp turn was even easier. So basically I would go with the adjustable Tein Coilover because I never had a problem with them and they fit perfectly in the car which is the same body type as yours.

I don't have personal experience really with these kinds of things but every thing I have read on hear says to go with GC/Koni pretty much. It's apparently one of the best combo's you can get for the month. There is a sponsor on here that can get you a great price as well.

Koni/GC is good, I can vouch for that. A decent set of full coils would be cheaper and work fine also though. I think a ITR swaybar and a traction bar helped a heck of a lot also.

if u have the money ,than go for the koni/gc . it highly recommended on honda-tech. i have a function and form type 1 on my db7 it was good to me and you can slam itttt.

they ride nice, but it's not the only option. Check the for sale threads, eBay, the sponsors, Craigslist, etc. I've seen drop springs for around $100 new that were name brand.

I have GC/tokico blues. Hate them. Bouncy as hell. I bought Tanabes and haven't installed them yet. from what I've heard a set of full coilovers will give you better performance than GC or Sk2 sleeves over struts.
