Well, the time has come to decide which shock and spring setup I want

Ive heard some awesome stuff about the Tokico D-Spec adjustables, and Eibach or Tein springs. What are you guys' experiences with ANY suspension set.


What can I expect to pay for a decent setup?? I want at least a 1.5in drop, maybe more. Im finding 750 for the Dspecs and Tein kit. Help me out a little here.

Recommendations???

 

are you looking for daily driving or are you planning to go track. I'm running with tokico blues/megan springs which deliever a 1.5 drop with a 2 finger gap. For me its a perfect drop, not slammed and not too high.

 

i got the ground control ajustable coilovers (comes w/ the eibach springs) and i have my stock shocks......is that bad?

 

Recommendations? Well, im sure most people on here will tell you straight up, Koni Yellows paired up with Ground Controls. However, the ground controls may be too much of a drop for you as they lower 2.0 inches i believe. Eibach manufatures great springs. If you want about a 1.5 drop, you should go with the Eibach Sportlines which will drop you 1.4 inches all the way around. After they sit in for a while, itll prolly become 1.5. As for the shocks, Konis are great adjustables. They are cheaper than the D-specs too! So basically, Koni Yellows paired with Eibach Sportlines. If your interested, i have a pair of New Eibach Sportlines for sale. They have never been mounted and are for the 01-05 Honda Civic (non-si). just pm me and lemme know. ill let them go for a cheap price.

 

personally i'd go with sumthing that'll adjust to my own taste and not follow along with what everyone has. umm... so far from what i can see, i'd personally go with the full coilover kit by megan racing. they're 32way adjustables so your bound to run into a setup your most comfortable in, track or street. take other people's setup into account and decide for yourself what kind of setup would best suit you.

 

I've got the D-Specs with Neuspeed Sports and the ride is super comfortable. Handling is excellent, maybe almost as good as the B&G Coilover setup I had previously.

 

Full coilovers all the way for me. I love the hard ride when it comes to backroad country blasts.

 

budget wise, would it be better to go full coilovers or get a shock and spring combo? i have about 600 to spend, i dont know if i should add 200 more and get a full coilover or just do the combo let me kno what u think

 

you know, its not cool to thread hijack someone. Asking questions not related to the OP is considered hijacking.

Thats why we have IM's.

 

I suppose it depends what kind of driving you're into. If you love spending an afternoon just razzing about in the middle of nowhere, i'd say full coilovers. If you town drive 90% of the time, a good shock/spring combo sounds like the best option. People on here seem to like the Tokicos.

EDIT: ^^^ I didnt even notice it wasn't the same guy. Sorry RED.

But yeah, generally not cool to thread jack.

 

sorry wont thread jack no more

 

sorry wont thread jack anymore, wasnt familiar of the policies here

I wouldn't buy Megans when a Koni shock costs less and performs 10x better.

Honestly, I've tried a lot of different shock/spring/coilover combos and you'll be hard pressed to beat Koni shocks and good lowering spring for a daily driven car.

Word. Plus you get the name brand quality. Ive heard about the bore seals going out in the megans.

I know theres a company Matt suggested to me Form&Function, that seems to make a good coilover.

 

i'm using kyb agx's with neuspeed sport springs which are a 1.5'' drop...the car handles fairly well and it rides smooth....and the agx's are adjustable....i paid a total of about $400 to 450 for everything if i remember correctly...
