Default It's time for a replacement...

Rolling in a 98 Civic 4dr...

dropped with some DropZone Coilovers and KYB AGX... it's been over 5 years and about 90k miles on them... The drop on it is just low enough to clear the wheel gap

This is has become my daily driver once again.. and I need something that is some what stiff but yet comfortable. I pretty much ride solo when I'm driving, but everyonce in a while I'll have a passenger. But when I do, I get some rubbing issues when I make turns.

I love to feel the rode but I want something that still stiff but still very comfortable for me and even a passenger...(I've sat shotgun and in the back seat of my car when someone else was driving and it sucks... way too bouncy, but for the driver it's fine)

So many options out now... but it's hard to decide.. my price range is about 700max...

*** another issue is that I have front mud guards that only give me about an inch of ground clearence if that...I don't want to take them off because of the suspension

what to do fellow members

Tein basics (ride smooth and soft) or GC+Koni (set your own rates).
I've seen both going for under 800 shipped.

whats the best for a really smooth ride... with a bit of stiffness to hit corners every once in a while

I can almost guarantee you'd love the H&R sports. they lower the civics slightly more than they claim. You'll have about a 2 finger gap. They have a really nice, firm and controlled ride, without harshness and handle very well. Pair these with some illuminas. Everyone has their preferences, but this will work well for you. Reliability, and some adjustability.
