I was gonna turbocharge my car next, but since my suspension is all wacked, I think I'll do that next. I mean, come on, power is nothing with out control right?

My current suspension setup ( 99 civic hb ) consists of this:

Stock shocks / struts
Spring progressive springs in the back
Cheap R1 coilover sleeves on the front

I have this setup because of thieves were trying to steal my suspension stuff, and this is all I had left and also, because I was on a budget.

My budget right now is: 400 - 950

My problem is that I don't know what is going to suit me best.
My car is a daily driver, which which I like to drive somewhat aggressively at times , possibly would like to get involved in some type of autox later on too...
So i'm kinda looking for competitive autocross setup, but still is streetable.

These are my choices ( and you can suggest something else if you think it might be better) :

Apexi World Sport Dampers $944 shipped

i think only one shock setting and adj. springs

Tein super street coilover kit $950 shipped
16 way adjustable shocks and adj. springs

Tokico illumina coilover set $730 ( shipped ? )

illumina shocks and adjustable springs

And then i think landspeed racing (.com) has some packages as well like 4 tokico (blues?) with skunk 2 springs for around $500.

Anyone have any input for me?

Also what about the JIC suspension systems?

If you got the money grab the full coilover. If not Koni's and GC.

i have slightly used tein ra's that i will be selling

Pworld

You can get TEIN SS for 875 to 900 shipped easily, do a search and look up some best buy and classified ads on them to see who sells them on this board, quite a few options.... but i payed 875 shipped for mines........

i would say

Tein SS or Koni/Custom rate GC

Apexi WS suspension is way overpriced IMHO

What about the H&R setup? ok? not ok?



Designed from the ground up as coil-overs (not just a modified shock body), the H & R units are hand-made in Germany by H&R Spezialfedern, under ISO9001 Quality Assurance Standards. Strict attention to function of the complete suspension system is the number one design priority.

The specifications of the H&R coil-over is what makes it a true Tuner component; shorter shock body, shorter shock rod, custom designed dust boot and precisely calculated bump-stop height and hardness (shore). The system is completed with a specifically valved shock matched with high quality H&R Springs.

899 plus 36 bucks shipping

I always hear good things about H&R

euclid

i have always heard good things about h&r too but those coilovers are not good, so ive heard. i was recommended the tein ss over them, they are in the same price range.

locass316

you can find some good used springs for cheap. I got neuspeed race used for 50. Then just pair it up with some brand new koni shocks.

SkyeC

Konis and 400f/450r's on GCs.

Lord Helmet

talk to vtecvoodoo he has some good deals on tein SS coilovers. I've seen quotes of $850 shipped from him.

<FONT COLOR="green">Well, looks like I should go with either the Teins or a custom rate spring and some nice shocks...Seems the most bang for the buck.

Any other input?</FONT>

I'd go with Tein SS or maybe even the new Basic setup, or a set of H&R race springs with Tokico Illuminas. Tokico Illuminas own!

they are really too soft? Like, how soft we talkin? almost stock soft? I'm sure I'll see a difference from stock though...
