There is no specific "BEST" suspension for HONDA. It depends on the driving, driver and purpose.

My favorite suspension would probably be Moton or Penske or Ohlins dampers along with some custom rate Eibach Racing Springs.

But something more afordable and just about as versatile is Koni and Ground Control with custom rates.

+1 for Ohlins.

i never thought it would be so difficult to find ohlins/zeal/cusco coilovers for an EH hatch.

I know I am a little biased here but you guys are forgetting about the best suspension company on the planet. H&R there road race coilovers are phenomenal.

I really think this is hard to answer as it's such as general question!!

So far by far the best setup i've had has been a koni + eibach setup on my eg9

$1716 for the 'road race' suspension for the EG, is it double adjustable (seperate rebound and compression adjustments)? What kind of spring rates are availible?

Me personally, if I were going to spend that much, I'd save up about $500 more and get Koni 3011 monotube race shocks (about $2150 for a complete shock and spring set), probably the closest you can get to Moton double adjustable external resivoir dampers for about half the price.
