Hayame's are 650 shipped on eBay but I have no idea of their quality.

I'm in pretty much the same predicament and I'm leaning toward TEIN SS/Basic

Re: What coilovers should I get? (phobi9)
 

Yeah im pretty much right now tring to decide between TEIN basic or Omni?
But any suggestions would be great I have heard great things about the Omni but how do they compare to the TEIN?

Thanks guys

koni yellows, with omni slip on coilovers. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif Just an idea.

You get adjustability, and lifetime warranty on shocks from what I understand

Id rather get a full coilover system but thats always an option and omni does make a full coilover system that has the same warranty

omni/hayame are the same to me.. my friend has hayame on his hatch and they are great products with the adjustable ride height and shock lenght.. only 650 dollars.. cant beat that.. no problems whatsoever.. ride is awesome with a slightly tucked dropp.

But how do both of those compare to the TEIN Basic?
I can pretty much get any one of these three coilovers for around the same price so im just tring to decide which one is the best?

the apexi coilovers ride real nice

Re: What coilovers should I get? (tbud454)
 

not cheap; but get KW!! variant 3 fully adjustable, full stainless steel.I will never get anything else..anymore.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: What coilovers should I get? (solsurvivor)
 

You didn't list this but Tein Flexes are awesome. I have them on a EG

Re: What coilovers should I get? (vtec69)
 

I got d2's on my ek coupe and love them...6 way damp adjustable and the bases can be adjusted to change the ride height. Four of my friends have them (all on 240 sx's) and they haven't had any complaints about them either.

I don't know what your preference is as far as spring rates but I would go with Omniman (I like my rides stiff!). The Tein SS has a spring rate of 390 front and 190 in the rear. For the rear it's just way too soft, my ITR springs are stiffer (Rear). Also, if you would like custome spring rates from Tein it costs about %0 bucks per spring. Omniman's full coilover system is at least 560 front and at least 336 pounds in the rear.

The Teins are definitely good if you're more concerned about daily driving. For me, since I know my car will eventually be my track car, and I also don't mind a stiff ride... I would choose the Omni coilovers or even a GC/Koni setup.

I agree. The KW line is great. I've ordered V2's for my ride and the Stainless Steel construction was a selling point for me. I don't know if you drive in a northern climate where road salt gets used but if you do, stay away from Tein and look toward KW https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

APEXi WS worked well for me, I was pretty happy with them, and I spent less than $800.

If it is for anything other than street driving, I probably would opt for something a bit more aggressive. For my purpose, it offered an excellent compromise between comfort and sportier feel.
