Help choosing suspension. 98 dx hatch with rear gsr brakes
Hello. I would greatly appreciate some help ordering new suspension for my 98 DX EK Hatch.
First thing: When I'm looking for suspension, do I look for suspension for my year model civic.. ie 96-00? I wasn't sure if the rear brake swap would make a difference.
Also: The car is a daily driver, and comfort is very important. At the same time, I'd like a fairly noticeable drop. Nothing too low, but at the same time, something that doesn't look stock. I'm getting 15x6.5 wheels with 195/55-15 tires.
At first I was looking at some shocks and coilovers. Then I started looking at shocks and springs. Are there any benefits to coilovers other than being able to adjust height? I have no need to adjust height at this time, but if it's better for me to go ahead and get coilovers, then i'll probably get them.
Last question: Regardless of which type of setup I get, will I need a camber kit as well? Is it better to go ahead and get one?
Thanks,
Del
