Suspension Questions
I want to lower my car and still be able to adjust it for winter and shows. So far I like Ground Control Coilvers with KYB AGX struts. Does anyone have any experiance whith this setup? Can anyone suggest any other options besides going to a full race coilover setup? Also I am going to put on 17" Axis VPD wheels if that is of any consequense.
Thanks
Kirk

Re: Suspension Questions (arizsun21)
how about koni yellows? heard good things about them even tho i have no personal experience...
17 inch wheels are a tad big for civics in my opinion, but it's your choice and make sure you dont lower too much or it might rub

One word... Bouncy. I think most of the coilovers I've seen are fairly bouncy.. You should look into the Tien CO's, they aren't that expensive, and they're real
I had sleeve coilovers on my Si, and I took them off and gave them away to some ricer kid.. Back to stock for now :sigh:

Has anyone herd of Maxspeed coilovers? The guy at the shop said that they fit better then the Ground Controls. Also, no matter what I do the rid is probably going to be more bumpy then stock right? I like the KYB because if a shock blows all I have to do is go back to the shop and they will give me a new one. With the koni I think I have to send them back for them to warranty the shock. This would cause a problem!

Re: Suspension Questions (arizsun21)
People I know live by Ground Controls for one simple reason, availability of different spring rates. If you're unhappy with the ride or performace, swap the spring, that simple.
I have AGX's and I'm super happy with them. They cost me very little and have held up very well. Bang for the buck, a great shock.
