hi, so im getting a 1999 hatch dx tom. and i want to order some coilovers or look foranyone that is selling. which coilovers would be best for the car?i live in nyc so i just want to lower the car a bit. not to much since the streets are terrible over here.

Very subjective question, answer range from 500 dollar spring shock combo's, to 5 grand one piece coilvers, not knowing you budget i would recommend a koni/gc setup, maybe some cheaper shocks depending on your budget/ needs

whats your budget? a dd? either way koni/gc!

im saving up for skunk2 pro-series coilovers. they're 1 piece and pretty stellar imo. i had them on my crx and absolutely loved them. ride height was as low as i wanted and more...

i havent been able to find any used ones but egay is selling them for $750shipped.

noobhonda23

yeah that sounds reasonable. i saw them on the web for 750 as well. probably buy those.! and i aint trying to waste more then $1,000.

98civdx

its not a waste unless you buy shitty parts, koni/gc is superior and on top of that konis have a life time warranty.

i don't know if they make them for ek's but i'd go with function form type 1, they go for about $800 i getting them for my ej1 civic coupe with buddyclub f/r camber kit. Or you can go d2 those go for around $950-$975 and are 36-way adj., were as the function form type 1's are only 12 way adj.

I've only heard the best about the koni/ground control set up. It'll set you back around $800ish. I ordered my Konis today for about $445 shipped to Miami!

D Griff

I can say I WOULDN'T get Omnis, they handle pretty well but ride really harsh.

Get some Koni Sports and some Ground Control coilovers. Koni is even having a big sale right now, 25% off. I just got mine for $480 shipped and let me tell you, the ride is amazing! I love them and wish I had gotten them sooner.

noobhonda23

well im not saying the parts are a waste i just cant waste no more then 1000. since im buying the car tom. and how long is this sale for?

noobhonda23

and for what car u putting them coilovers too ?

98civdx

you can get koni/gc for around 900.

theredegg- yes they make function form type one and type two for 96-00, op if you buy ff coilovers from weaksauce you can get free rear lower control arms. oh and do not go
d2 they suck

noobhonda23

can i get links btw to some coilovers im a noob at searching for them online .. im looking to buy it tom!

98civdx

yep, ill get them.

The Koni sale is good through June 30th at any participating site/retailer. It took about a month to get mine because Koni is behind on the orders. These are on a 96 Civic hatchback with the standard Ground Control coilover kit w/ Koni specific sleeves. I also bought the extended upper mounts for the front from GC. There is a reason why this setup is recommended over and over. It is great. My car has never rode better.

im guessing the koni are the best ones right?and does that have warrenty like u said? or does that warr even matter?lol

btw thansk for the links !

98civdx

some may say other wise but the koni/gc is a tried and true setup, so yes it is the best,
the lifetime warranty does matter, you never know. although they are high quality there has been some times where they went bad, but koni to my knowledge has always repalced them.
no problem.

i loved my d2 over this k sport i have now. k sport rides rough. i hate it. tein ss rides smooth but they dont go low as i wanna go.

you can spend a grand on koni/gc or spend 75% of that on some skunk2. their products are better than omni and d2 imo. i'd never buy those coilovers :/

98civdx

^^ yes, but does skunk2 have a lifetime warranty? No they do not, although i agree with you the d2 sucks omni isnt too bad, but i have skunk2 coil overs and they ride very stiff

noobhonda23

i aint trying to go that low. just prply like 1.5" to 2 inches. thats all.

D Griff

I just ordered my Konis and they're still on back order. Mine should be arriving in 2 or 3 weeks. I'll be running them with my tein s techs for now, I can't afford the GCs just yet (and probably not until I graduate). It's hard to come up with $330 as a student, but we'll see how Koni yellows and s techs are.

98civdx

put the knoi's on the lowest perch and adjust properly, youll be pleasntly suprised with how the ride, freinds dad just put this setup on his dd and its handles perfectly with a nice bit of drop.
