LOL, damn, i didn't realize how much you all favor "coilovers" in this section. I'm not trying to be a dick, but why not koni/Ground control with custom spring rates? I always hear all this coilover shinannigans, when 9 times outa 10, nobody uses coilovers to their full potential. I have koni/GC on my EG, and i can't imagine something better for the money. i paid 800 total, shipped.

You need to remember the fact that we are dealing with a mac strut honda. GC/Koni's do not relocate the steering arm mount on the strut so if you plan on being lower than 1.5" or so it'll be one less problem to worry about with the tie-rods being at an extreme angle.

gc/konis simply own on a double wishbone honda but with the dc5/ep3 chassis we are dealing with something totally differnt so just because something works on an eg doesn't mean it'll work as well on the ep3/dc5.
