i have a civic ek hatch and want some opinions on what i should go with ..

current setup on civic is 5lug swap with type r springs and R struts in front only..

my choices are

430 dollars for kyb agx all around with my type r springs
or.....
650 for tein ss coilovers ...

what are you thoughts

Where did you find Tein SS for $650??? If you can get the Teins for that cheap, definately get those. personally, i would choose the Teins not just because they are Teins, but because they come as a complete setup (threaded shock wtih matching spring rates), a whole "system" that is tuned to work with each other, to put it in other words.

if you think about it. since you already have the type R springs, you are basically paying for new shocks only. and with this setup, you are mixing and matching two different products that are not tuned to work with each other. for only $220 more, like i said earlier, you are getting a complete setup. plus the nice thing about th e teins is you can dump the car (if you'd like) or ride it stock. for me personally, i love the ability of adjustability. correct me if i am wrong, but aren't the AGX's 5 way adjustable? i know definately the teins are 16way adjustable.

yeah i may sound biased cuz i just got my new SS installed last week and i just love them!

oh btw, if you do decide to get the Teins, you have the choice of getting the civic spring rates or the integra spring rates. most people here will tell you to get the integra spring rates because they are stiffer (because of the greater weight of the car) and that the civic spring rates are too soft. but then again, that is your personal preference.

so lets hear it from the AGX crowd

Dude, Teins all they way for $650. I had eibachs and kybs then replaced them with the Tein ss setup and damn what a difference. You will so much more adjustabilty with ss!
