so i have recently bought a 1999 civic ex and i was just wondering what is the best suspension for the car. the price range would be around 500-750.

Well you can't really buy good coilovers with $5-600, so your best bet would be a good rear subframe brace with a sway bar. Thats the single best mod I've done to my suspension so far.

I got newspeed springs and dropzone shocks and struts all around and it cost about 400. My car doesnt bounce and rides sexy.

your not gonna be able to build a suspension for 500-750, i have to go with OMGWTFBBQ, subframe brace and sway bars is a huge plus. If you decide to get coil-overs, i love the Tein SS in my 99 EX, expensive but hella worth it. Make sure you also invest in a nice camber kit too, i have Skunk 2 in mine. Over all suspension work can get expensive but is going to give you amazing results.

96 EX

Ive got a 96ex and planning on throwing some Koni Yellows w/ Ground controls on it. Wanted to also get a ASR brace w/ CTR sway bars. Figure it should tickle my fancy for the time being.

i was wondering if function forms were a good suspension.

rSol93

function forms are reputable. You can find some used tein or koni/gc for around 600-750

Good suggestion. The CTR rear bar will bolt up, but you'll want a subframe brace.

The EM1/CTR front bar will need EM1 LCAs.

The Koni/GC setup would be recommended as it's a quality setup in your price range.

get some D2 or ksports or pics and call it a day till you want to blow more money out the cars window and into the floor

i would do what this guys doing and skip the camber kit. i took the same approach as this guy in my 94 ex after hours of research on h-t.

D2 = Garbage.

How can you compare D2s to PICs? PICs actually have R&D and engineering hours put into them. I know the dudes from PIC. They're local.

My friend had D2s on his 98. He hated them as much as I did.

we are all forgetting what kind of driving are you going to be donig? do u want a handling suspension or a drag race set up. i have had excellent luck in the past with koni yellows and ground controls i think out of the 5-6 suspension setup i have tried on hatchs thats the best set up for the money.

thanks for the great info.

just look in the marketplace... im sure someone is selling some decent coilovers that will fit your budget.

Yes, you mentioned that in your OP. What are you using the suspension FOR? Auto-X, Track days, daily driving, etc. Ah, F it. Listen to hoo my gosh. I'm not going to spoon-feed you.
