Default Supension recommendations

What kind of suspension do you guys run. I have some cheap coil-overs now with some tokicos (non - adjustable) and i am tired of the harsh ride. I am considering going to lowering springs but i don't want the car to be to high. I want a decent drop, around 2" the most. what setup do u guys recommend.

Just don't go with tein, you'll dish out the cash and then when your shocks are leaking you will find out that the only people that can give you any useful help are in ******* japan. My shocks are only 2 years old and one of them is pissing oil. The local tein dealer doesn't even want to see them ,they are like "contact tein in japan".

Go with a custom koni coilover setup.

I run Integra Pro-Kit and Koni Yellow on my 97 Civic. The ride is smooth with great handling. I recommend it.

They were good, but for less then the price of HA's you can buy revalved bilsteins and coilovers sleeves with any spring rate you want. Thats my next route.
