i thought about gettin tein. thats what my goal is. i was just wanting to do something till i got them. it wouldnt hurt to wait. stock suspension on a 89 civic just cant handle the mountain for now.

dude, wait and do it right the first time. with stock struts + shitty "coilovers", your handling will be worst than stock.

Yes:
Because you have - or + toe and depends if your car goes all nuts bancing

No:
The center of gravity is lower and should provided better handling
