I personally will choose Tein Basic. The company has been there for a while, overhaul service is available.

I am not saying the others are bad. It depends on your budget too. how much are you willing to spend? Do you want adjustable shocks?

Cheaper ones are Hayame or Omni Power. I heard a few people mentioned those for a while, not exactly sure quality wise.

Good luck finding the right one.

"It's only good or bad when you compare it, so do your research, bring one home and don't think about it again" hehehe

 

Im looking for adjustable shocks

 

get yourself a Tein set up and call it a day. They are on the stiff side, but corners like dream.

The EP3 suspensions from them are not generally available. You might find someone selling a preproduction release, but I would not recommend buying either of them until they officially release a final, revised design for a specific EP3 application.

If you want to buy an EP3 suspension for regular daily use, then the best thing I can tell you to do right now is get one of the Mugen SS suspensions for about $1000. They lower the EP3 a set amount that's designed to eliminate some problems associated with putting aftermarket kits on the EP3.

Trying to save money on an EP3 suspension is a mistake. Lowering an EP3 suspension too much is a mistake.

I'd also advise you to go ahead and investigate camber kits and how you want to deal with camber, because when you lower an EP3 it does not do what the double wishbone suspensions would do.

You'll go positive camber in the front (eek!) and go too negative in the rear, which results in potentially unusual handling characteristics.

The Mugen SS tries to make up for this with the spring rates; however, even with the Mugen SS you will get better uiltimate cornering with a camber adjustment.

You're also going to be shocked how much an aftermarket suspension for an EP3 <u>weighs</u> because no aftermarket supplier's factory is going to have the ability that Honda has to make the front strut units both lightweight and strong. Everybody else can make them strong, but at the expense of extra weight.

Even though the OEM and HFP factory suspensions are Showa, the Showa produced Mugen SS front struts still weigh more than the OEM and HFP units.

you have ground control with a stock shock?

 

my bro has megan racing full coil over car handles really great they are 32 way adjustables

 

no silly. he's on ground controls with blown stock shocks

 

d2 racing just came out with there 36 way fully ajustable coilovers available in the us. there structure is similar to those of the omni's but are 36 way adj. i just installed mine on my dc5. very good coilovers. i would recomend staying off the sleeve type coilovers, if ur going to spend the money, might as well wait, trust me. d2 will run u about 900 to 1000. best bang for your buck.

I just got the HFP shipped to my door for $475. They lower the car about an inch and are NOT adjustable, but you cant beat the price for a one piece setup with oem fitment.

 

It Tein Basic good? it worth 1000dollar?
