I know we've talked about this extensively for the past couple days, but I haven't heard exactly what your goals are. Obviously not autocross/road racing at stock height.

So what is it that you're looking for that you need $650 suspension packages for?

I'm still saying stock GSR springs and KYB AGX's will do you fine...

 

Koni Yellow with H&R Sport with the shock collar moved up a notch.

 

why coilovers?

coilovers suck, get some springs w/ stock struts.

From the real world.

How do they suck? They usually have better/stiffer spring rates than most springs.

But yeah, tell us what you want to do with your car. No need to spend 700+ on it if you're not doing anything...

Yes, they have stiffer rates, but they often (not always) give the feeling of better handling by overcompensating with overly-stiff rates and a shock that's not valved to accommodate that.

 

We're talking about full coilovers here though aren't we?

Coilovers are better than stock, but a well-thought-out spring and strut combo is better than any of the low-level coilover systems on the market. Koni Yellows and proper springrates will give better handling than anything the OP listed.

I've done the coilover thing many times for people, and I still return to struts and springs. It's just more flexible and more cost effective.

 

interesting, so you say that springs and struts would be better then getting tein basic for my ek? If so what springs?

 

yeah, the guy up there said stock struts...and springs.

I wouldn't pick stock struts, but GS-R springs for a DD @ stock ride height would be a pretty smooth ride.

 

GSR springs and KYB AGX's give a pretty tight ride for stock height.

 

ahh we were talking about full coilovers...

wtf is that susposed to mean.

I was under the impression that we were talking about coilovers, not Fulls.
in which case coilovers suck ***, dude is dd. spring rate means a lot, and you dont want it with a DD.

Oh boy, time for me to hop into this one, fire extinguisher ready.

A daily driver doesn't mean closer to stock. You can modify the hell out of a car and still call it a daily driver, as long as you drive it daily. Personal preference should dictate what you want your ride to feel like. Personally, I don't mind sacrificing ride quality, and I drive 20 miles one way to work everyday on Skunk2/AGXs on a Civic. On a crappy road, sure I feel it. But I also feel it when I corner and when I'm cruising at 80 on the highway. For what is sacrificed in ride quality, it makes up for itself in stability in corners and higher speeds.
