Default Tein Type HR coilover suspension for 96-00 civic EKs

Is this model any good? I heard about the Tein basic coilovers being not so great but how about this. I might be able to get an slightly used set.

Thank you!

Im pretty sure this is from ages ago as it was on page 11 of my google search but I am looking at the same ones. Anyone install them in the past four years since this post was started?

good suspension just very very dated. i want to say the spring rate were around 8k/front and 6k/rear.

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pts/1290548483.html these are the ones I am looking at

He says "coilovers with 12-16k springs" I am guessing thats 12-16,000 Kms? not 12K/front and 16/K rears? cus thats like double what you said so super stiff?

Are these ride hight adjustable? how stiff do you think these would be for a DD

Guy says they have something like 50,000Kms on them... sent me some pics they are a tad rusted but that shouldnt affect performance?

hmmm the rates could be that stiff but i would guess that they are custom rates. obviously it.s been a few years. but my ra.s at tein specs came 14/10 but i run them at 12/14. and if i remember right the hr were the predecesor to the flexs basically. like i said i am going off a memory that forgets alot of things. lol.
