Default civic hatch coil overs

I'm about to purchase coil overs for my 91 hatch, and I need some suggestions.....
ground control, skunk 2, ractive?
Which ones have a comfortable ride that's not too bouncy, but still keep tires to the ground & can handle some g force? I need help as I consistently hear differnent things, and I want a product taht really does what it' supposed to. This is my daily driver so all out race setup is out. Please help.
Thanks!!

If you go to the top of the page and use search, you might be able to find the answers or you may not, but it's worth a try. Make sure you use recent and archive selection, even if it pulls up different car fields check them too.It may be a different type car, but it might tell you some thing about the product in question that is useful .Just a suggestion to quick finding an answer.I don't have coil-overs yet, so this is all I can do to help.

ground controls are worth buying even if they're expensive. skunk 2s are good too but i wouldn't buy ractive coilovers i heard they're shitty...i got mine off ebay almost a year ago for 200 cdn with shipping and i have to say these are not ground controls but they are pretty smooth even with my car lowered more than two inches. its just my shocks that bother me cuz i blew them out like 2 years ago but hey what can you do if you ain't got 600 to spend. save up and get ground controls but regardless you will need a good set of aftermarket shocks to go with it

I got skunk2 integra springs on my 91 hatch...i think their great and the larger sping constant of the integra springs is good if you plan to do a motor swap [or have] and they aren't TOO stiff. I think their just a good coilover. goodluck

Ground Control and Koni yellows.

Unless you want to go with a real coilover setup. Like Zeal, Tein, Apexi. A little more expensive, but with full adjustability you can set the car to handle great or be comfortable as a daily driver.

Yes, GC are very nice for coilover sleeves.

Skunk's are way rough and boucy for daily driving.
