Default Best all around suspension setup?

Im going to be getting a 97 hatch and want to get the best all around suspension, meaning shocks struts springs deal i know what i want for sways and such. I wanta it to ride smooth on highway, nice and stable through the corners and be able to drag. all around quality and performance. i live in pa so height, rebound are a huge plus i want the best value. I really won't be autocrossing, or hpde ing but i want to tear it up oin the street sometimes. It needs to be a compotent dd nothing to crazy. at somepoint hope to have a horsepower monster but more for street then anything.

Clifs ...need best all around suspension for a 97 civic hatch

I say Eibach's "Pro System." It comes as Pro kit springs and Pro damper shocks. This way you'll have a waranty on it if anything goes wrong.

If you want to go slightly lower, there's also the 'Sportline system,' which is the same as above but Sport line springs.

IMO, there's another option of "Pro System Plus," which is the Springs, shocks, and F&R swaybar combo(26/17mm; requires 96~00 Civic EX front LCA's).

For price wise....I cant quote. They vary in price.

For the price it answer is only the Koni yellows and Ground Control coilovers. Specially for the cost and performance you get from them.

from most people and reviews the spring rates aren't that great and well are just basic coilovers which is what they are branded as. Id like a little more adjustabilty then one set perch

I think these are the ones my friend has in his car along with the EDFC. It's so sick to dial up your suspension's stiffness however you want it
