The best shock/spring combo is a Tein S-Tech/Koni setup. The Eibachs and Neuspeed springs don't have enough springrate.

I beg to differ on that, if you are goin for teins the best ones would have to be there damper kits, other than that their springs arent really all that good. I'll admit Eibach Pro Kits dont have the best spring rate but if you look for the Eibach sportlines, those have a really good spring rate and on top of that great ride quality with the koni shocks. but i do agree that NEUSPEED SPRINGS SUCK MAJOR ***!!!

I said shock/spring combo, not a full coilover kit.

The Tein S-techs are the best RSX springs made, period. They are not the best for other makes/models, but on the RSX the S-techs are perfect in terms of springrate and lowering height.

Both the Neuspeed and Eibach either dump the car too low or the springrates are jacked up. The H&Rs are just as bad.

i have tein s techs on mines and my car rides just fine. the gap on wheels are good too, but when i save up enough money imma buy the buddy club coilover set up. as for teins they have a pretty good coilover setup. so in terms if you have the cash buy the coilover setup. but if you just wanna drop it a tiny bit use teins.
