Default h&r race springs/ koni yellows or ksport coilovers

I need to upgrade my suspension really bad, i am thinking of either the h & r race springs with some koni yellows or some ksport coilovers. i mainly want them for my daily driver and take it to the track here and there for fun. Thanks in advance. also it is for a 92 civic hatch. also where are some good sites i can get them cheaper than usual.

h&r and koni is a better setup, but if you want the perfect ride height get the coilovers. there still good

Koni yellows and ground control coilovers is what i'm gettin. I know several people with this setup and love it. right now i have agx's and h&r race springs, great ride but wish i had the adjustability of a coilover setup.

save that extra couple hundred and it'll be worth it. I think i payed close to 600 with my agx h&r setup, it was a great ride but after a while i wished i had the adjustabilty of coilovers instead of just the adjustable struts. now i gotta buy all new suspension again where i could've saved a lot of money by doin it just once and used that saved money for a rear sway setup. just my opinion.

yeah koni's and ground control. plus you can spend just a little extra and get custom spring rates and they'll valve the strut for you specific application. go look aroung in the sponsor marketplace for some deals.

The main reason i was thinkng of them in the first place is because Factory 5 Motoring near chicago is a goos shop and all most all the the workers and frequent customers have them on there cars.

I will be getting Ksports for my 95 hatch soon. There are several sponsors on here that have them for $600 shipped. I have heard nothing but good things for them and for the price you cannot beat em.
