i have a 93' hatch and right now it sits on some shitty coilovers and stock struts,and there shot. so i was wondering what you think a good setup would be as far as springs,struts,sway bars etc. my intension is auto x and track days here and there.
all opinions are appreciated

How deep are your pockets? Because to some, "budget" means like $10K and to us poor folk it means like ... $50.

i would suggest to keep your set up as is...and keep saving..
depending on what ultimate suspension set you want...your better off getting exactly what you want...
rather than settling for something inbetween...
one pc coilover set...gets my thumbs up..although pricey..for a budget person..its worth the money IMO

tokicos and some springs of your choice

For sway bars, see if you can't find some good OEM bars. If your car is a hatchback that didn't have any stock then you might need LCA's for a rear sway to bolt on (I have some FS for a 92-95 Civic by the way ). You may also need to swap the front LCA's if you didn't originally have a front sway. Then you could go with, 21mm or 24mm front from a GSR and a 14mm rear from GSR or 22mm ITR rear bar and beaks kit. All that would be relatively cheap and handling would be greatly improved. All depends on what kind of Civic you drive.
As far as springs and shocks- on a budget, pick up some Ground Controls and Koni's if possible or even some KYB AGX's. Down the line you can always up the spring rates on GC's and have Koni's revalved for stiffer rates. Good luck! These were just some ideas since I wasn't sure what your budget was!

Depends on what kinda drop you want/what money you have. If you want a low/agressive drop then you better get some quality struts. I've heard of the AGX blowing after like 2.25-2.5 inch drop. I got the illuminas in my del Sol and they hold up great with my low drop. But the illuminas are $$$$$. I'd say for a good suspension setup get some quality coilovers and some quality struts. Don't cheap out cause you don't want to be replacing them in a year.

there shouldnt be budget suspension...do it right the first time and save yourself from headaches

get koni yellows and be glad you did

well, i have about $12hundered for my new set up and i definitly want to include sway bars in to that. i would love to get buddy clubs but i'm kind of in a hurry here, the setup i'm currently running is horrible. try running crappy coilover and 200 thousand miles on stock struts,it feel like its hurting my poor little eg,and it takes railroad tracks like a brick wall. if not for this situation i would save my money and get the best stuff on the market.

all opinions would be helpful, thanks

im running skunk2 coilovers and kyb agxs and i love them. my drop is somewhere in between 2.5" - 3" and the agxs are holding up just fine.
skunk2 + agx =
as far as bars i have a benen 3pt in the front and a no name bar in the back and a benen lower tie bar (currently shopping for front and rear sway bars).
