So I have a Bone stock 2003 Civic DX, I have a set of 17 inch motegi's i plan to install. What Are some good coil over setups for the Coupe. I dont want super stiff, so that I bounce, but I dont want a lot of body roll, cuz i like to carve the corners at times. Any assistance would be great.

 

koni yellows and ground controls

or tein basics if u can afford it tein ss for shock adjustability.. and if u want EDFC compatibality get the FLEX coilovers

 

EDFC also works for Tein SS.


and if you want to get coilovers, tell us how much your willing to spend. it can range from 800 to 2500

 

I have the tien ss. I love them. If you are willing to pay 1200 go with that.

 

Im willing to spend whatever i can. I Just started college, so all of my paychecks right now are going to college and debts that i have. BUt Im starting to save lil by little, Ive heard about the Tien's, but somewhere on here i saw someone mention Progressive. Are they any good. Would I need Camber kits and all that. If so, What should i get and from whom? Thank you for your opinions.

 

I know I get what i pay for. Id prefer to pay more. BUt that will mean that i have to wait to get the parts.

 

I've got F2 coilovers, which fit both generations of EM2 (comes with 2mm sleeves for the 16mm strut holes). They're extremely well built, and I got them for a great price. I spent $950 for 2day air shipping and custom rate springs. I'm very pleased with them, thus far.

 

Did you have to get Camber Adjustment kits. Will I need to? Who Is a good company for Camber/alignment equip?

 

With F2's you'll need a rear camber kit. It comes with adjustable pillow mounts, so there's no need for a front camber kit.

Here comes my default response...go for KW's, preferably V2 with the bump/rebound adjustment. I had them on my Vauxhall Astra and they were brilliant (and didn't squeak, contrary to what i've heard about them since). Plus, the shocker body is finished in INOX stainless steel. Bonus!

 

you COULD try out the tanabe coilovers i dont want to be a test muel lol. they're 900 bucks shipped from http://www.ptuning.com

 

What are KW's?

AMR engineering is good too. 24 way damper adjustment for only 800 bucks. more bang for ur bank add 100 more for camber kits and all that, not bad at all.

EDIT: i believe it has progressive springs as well, im not sure, but that will improve ur over all ride quality.

 

Are The AMR SLeeves? Cuz that seems kinda Cheap for Full coilovers

 

You should use the tein ss

SPC and Ingalls that I can think of.

 

I heard that Ingalls Rust. Is this true?

 

There was an issue with the older Ingall's kits rusting, but they have since inproved their materials, and I believe, from what I have seen, they have corrected that issue.

Here is a write up that Scansel912 did on the Ingall's kit for the front and rear.

So I've decided to go either with Tanabe's and Ingall's or Tien's and Ingalls. Which would b better? Should I also get a Rear sway bar too?

 

you should get a rear sway bar first, the RSX one works nicely although you will have to add the endlinks and brackets to your DX

 

I have a set of Tein Flexs that I'd make someone a smoking deal on. They'd make a great street/track setup.
