Default ok i think i found my setup

ok. i think im gonna go with Tokico shocks, and either eibach, tein, h&r, or intrax coilovers/springs (those 4 seem to be a favorite, and more research tells me they are a good buy). opinions?

tokico

never hadem, never want to havem

if you really must go cheap, get some koni reds.

I've had agx's, and they're fun, interesting, cheap shocks, for a time,
but are not very durable. Illumina's are in the same boat.

koni reds arent as easily adjustable as agx's/illuminas but i'm damn sure they're
way more durable with better warranty and support.

of course the best thing to do would be to save up for some good ****.

must have to do with how hard you are on them,my freind has tokico blues on his 94 integra and they do just fine for what he wanted,a not as bouncy ride with slightly improved handling....

Ground Control & Koni Yellows OWNZ me...

GC coilovers can be ordered w/ ANY spring rate you want, or they can recomend you custom rates based on your driving style & use (call GC). They use eibach springs (lifetime warranty come in every size/rate possible), and all GC's parts carry a lifetime warranty (even if you race).

Koni Yellows have a huge adjustability range, they are externally adjustable, and come w/ a lifetime warranty (as long as you don't race). There are also some good installation tricks to add front suspension movement (good for lowered cars).
