Kinda hard to see where you're going with this. Are you saying your ride is TOO comfortable as in too soft? Or are you going for comfort? Or going for something sporty? What's your budget. Obviously there are some much nicer ones for more $$$ (not saying that's always the case though).

Adjustable height? Adjustable dampening? Something that reacts to the speed of your vehicle? Hell, I think there's even an electronic (magnetic) dampening system in the works by Bose (the audio company).

Remember to be clear and concise!

 

Yeah, WTF are you trying to say...?

 

RElax mannn lol am sayin tht i need a coilover for my 98 civic so which brand u think is best

 

Well, it's really hard to answer because it's all relative. There is no universally good setup for everyone. There's no size that fits all.

If you're an 80 year old guy with a bad back, you probably want it riding creamy smooth like a Cadillac. If you're driving it on a track, you'll probably want something the doesn't move too much. If you're driving the car daily, you probably don't want it too stiff and not too soft either if you drive it semi hard.

You have to answer some questions. We don't even know if you're looking to get the car lowered.

Coilovers can be a really stiff ride on the street due to the non-progressive springs and higher spring rates.

What is your goal? Is comfort more important then performance, or are you willing to sacrifice ride quality for handling?

Oh btw, stay away from cheap coilover sleeves. Unless you are doing a custom GC\shock combo they are purely cosmetic and ride usually ride awful.
