the best street/track performer i think would be the mugens....
but i dont think it will give you the look you want...

most coilovers now days are pretty good...i.e. the skunks....probably the best bang for the buck..

I like that front strut tower bar. No hinges and appears to be quite a bit beefier than stock. Is that available?

I have heard alot of subframes ripping with the ITR 22mm rear swaybar even with the mugen brackets used with Si endlinks. Beaks is suppose to have a reinforcement set but I havent heard anymore information about it.

I just installed my B2's this weekend and so far i like them a lot. I have mine set at 4 and they feel plenty stiff for the street.

Ok this is my problem with the Zeal B2...

-i heard that zeal b2 are rebound and compression adjustable but both are controlled with the same control.
-zeal doesnt offer revalving.
-they only offer 2 spring settings. (F.10k R. 6k for street and F.12k R.8k for hard settings)

Right now Im leaning towards some custom Eibach ERS springs 350 / 400 with a set of koni yellows. they are rebound and compression adjustable with there own controls and they offer revalving.

Anybody got any input on my assesments. This setup is for a 2000 Honda Civic Si.

tell...

How about the APEXi N1, good for track & street and reasonably priced.
