please recomand me good coilovers for a 01 civic ex coupe that ARNT too damn expensive, $1,2000 limit on parts and something that isnt too damn stiff, or low. Im not racing, not drifting, just want a damn good suspension that wont scrap the asphalt or scrape my wallet.


thank you

 

preff something dezod.com sells

 

something like this

http://dezod.com/pd_tein_super...1.cfm#

cept is that a pair or all 4?

 

ok so you want no more then 1200 spent not to stiff or low.......tien ss. Thats what i have and i love it. 16 way ajustable damping up to a three inch drop in the front and 3.25 in the back.

 

i would recommend ksport coilovers, megans, or groundcontrols coiloversleeves/konis

 

there are a lot of good coilovers, all the listed brands ( i dont really like megan tho) are probably a safe bet, the rest is up to ur wallet.

 

dont forget to add in a camber kit if you dont have 1

 

Didn't you just get new shocks? Why not just get some mild lowering springs for those.

 

remember to get an alignment after EVERY height adjustment

 

I got lifetime alignment and all.

need a new camber yes.


for the shocks listed can you provide direct links please, there are different version of each. also, the link I posted is that a pair or all 4

Thats all 4 right? pic only shows 2... just making sure.

 

If you want to stay under $1200, you can always get the TEIN SS set without the upper mounts.

Could I ask why you want to go with a coilover system instead of a spring/shock combo? If you're not racing and you don't need height adjustment AND you want a comfortable ride, then a good quality spring/shock combo might be better suited to your needs and budget.

I would get the eibach prostreet coilovers: http://www.truehonda.com/inven...d=492.

Dont let the picture fool you, these are full coilovers and made by KW for Eibach. Also comes with a million mile warranty compared to the 1 year warranty Tein, K-sport, d2 give.

Oh yeah eddie at Truehonda has EXCELLENT customer service. I would contact him if he has this in stock though. Good luck.

 

i suggest the tein ss with the pillow ball mounts. for the money they cant be beat. i love mine

 

when you guys recomand tiens, please link me directly, there are too many variations

 

nothing beats stock..

U already linked urself, those teins u had the picture of where the exact set u need.

Dezod.com, then 01-05 civic, then coilovers then hit tein SS, and ur done.

 

The link you posted that is all you need. It is all four.

 

oh, ok great.


so those are the ones.

Thanks, I'll consider other brands too but at least I have one set.

is there anyhing extra that I will need? someone menstioned a camber adjuster, i know I need one to counter a small pull i have, but anything else?

 

I would go ahead and get the upper pillow ball ountss.

 

yes, make sure you get the upper pillow mounts for the Teins, otherwise you'll get creaking and popping noises when you turn your steering wheel from side to side.

oh yea, you can also look into getting B&G coilovers. not many places sell them, but they're a very good brand. but i dont think they're as comfortable as the Teins tho...

 

I just thought of another brand omni. I think people like them for their price. I think they are pretty good too.

 

Seriously, why do you want coilovers? Do you plan to track or autox your car? If not, they are complete overkill.

But If you get them, sell me your shocks.

 

i have Ksport Coilovers and love them so far.
I got them for 850 shipped
