Re: My suspension (iSRT_Vtec)
I wouldn't get ebay coilovers if you're looking for performance and reliability. What do you drive and how do you plan on driving?

Re: My suspension (iSRT_Vtec)
Ebay coilovers suck. I had it on my old car just cause i wanted it lower.
Just save the extra money and get ground control or something like that. You'll be much happier.

Save another $170. Don't skimp on suspension. Not coilovers, but an excellent setup with 1.75" drop.

I wouldn't go with them. If you just want a daily driver with some added performance go with some Eibach Pro-kit or sportlines. I'm running Koni sport shocks with prokits on my 99 coupe and I like the ride. I've done 2 track day with them and while they aren't the best performing option, I'd rather have a nice daily ride than an all out road race susp. at this point (also my 5 month old wouldn't like riding in a car with stiff springs )
if you feel that you really "need" coilovers for some reason, save up and get GC's.

Re: My suspension (shaundrake)
you could also just buy the cheap coilovers for the sleeves & then call & order some springs from eibach in custom rates & have a decent setup.

Re: My suspension (iSRT_Vtec)
Are you plannin on buyin struts or just coilover and the sleeve? If you just want a drop get some H&R springs it will ride better than stock or just get gc or skunk2 coilovers that you can put on your stock struts until you can buy some nice ones.

Re: My suspension (hOnDadiCt)
I already have some KYB GR2 shocks, i just wanna know what is the best coilover for the value. I don't wwanna spend more than $200 on the coil overs. Are Tenzo-R good coil-overs? I basically want to know the best coilover for the money is.

why do you feel that you want/need C/Os tho?? Are you planning on having the car corner weighted when you do the alignment? Cheap suspension parts are a bad idea. They either ride like ***, handle poorly, break, or all of the above. If you have a budget let us know what it is and we can recommend the best springs or C/Os for that budget. I would only run GC's if I were getting C/O's.

Re: My suspension (nonsense)
You can't adjust lowering springs can you? Because when winter comes and i put on my stock tires, i'm gonna need coil-overs so i can raise it back up. I think i'll just go for some GC coil-overs. I found some at http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com for $285 shipped. It is the 92-00 Honda Civic/Del Sol (Limited Edition).

Re: My suspension (Re3irth)
It seems to be the best deal i could find and it also seems that the "limited edition" is the only GC coil-overs that will fit my KYB GR2's.

is that a good deal? ok deal? very good deal?</TD></TR></TABLE>
$470 shipped on Illuminas w/ springs is a very good deal. Make sure your home when the UPS man comes or else you'll be in a mess trying to pick them up.
