Default Suspension question

Hi, I am looking to lower and stiffen my suspension, and I am wondering what will give me the best looking, and the most performance. If anyone can help me out with best type of suspension and maybe a few brands I would really appreciate it.

what do u mean by best looking??? best looking drop? depends on how low u want to go, are u looking for a Spring, Sleeved coilover, Full suspension settup? i would reccomend Buddy Clup racing Spec Dampers but there a bit expensive, and a great race suspension that will stiffen up ur ride u can also adjust the damping. I have a set of Sleeved Coilovers for sale tho if ur looking for a set to jsut lower ur car (skunk2)

Biggest bang for the buck, with no problems, would be the HFP setup. It doesnt get any better than oem and I have seen this setup for $400-450 brand new.

i have an ep and isnt the same as the rsx but i just dropped on tanabe springs and a lower tie bar and is pretty stiff i am going to install the upper front strut bar and upper rear strut bar this weekend so will be alot stiffer but if your trying not to spend that much go with spring and strut bars...but if i could do it all over i would go with coilovers and strut bars....good luck

if u have an rsx, go with any of the eibach sprigns, dc front upper strut tower, and front and rear sways. thats basic right there. probably run, about $750. and if u want to look good, get the rear lower tie bar. should be less than $100.
