Default Coilovers and Springs

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I'm considering getting Tein coilovers but they are way too expensive! My question is, if i get coilover sleeves (something like ground control), are there aftermarket shocks on the market right now? My only concern is having adjustable ride height, performance is not as important. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated

Ground Control or Skunk2 will give you an adjustable ride hight....

how do the gc sleeve/spring coilovers adjust - is it in increments or what? how do you know if you're adjusting ride height evenly?

I hear that you can adapt the 02 Civic Koni Yellows to fit the RSX. Takes some hacksawing on the front struts tho... Talk to Buhda on clubrsx.com...

If you dont' care about performance, get some GC's w/ custom low spring rates and put them on your stock shocks. They won't perform all that well, but it'll be lowered and give you the height adjustability you desire.
