Default Help on suspension?

Me and my causin are in the market to purchase new suspension this spring for our civics. We most likely will be getting the same set up and will be purchasing them together to see if we can get any deals for purchasing them togther. I have a 1997 honda civic coupe with a b series and he has a 1992 civic hatch with a GSR. We both daily drive our cars with ocational perfomance driving/ track. We want the best set up for our money and wanted to get opinioin from people who have these setups or are experienced with these setups. please feel free to post your suggestions. also wanted to hear about the warrenty on these setups and any personal experiences with them. I dont wany anything to that will be to stiff because of my girlfriend but i want to have a better handling/ ride and adjustability. Thanks i advance for your help

not too bad. a little bumpy on the back roads, but handles good and feels nice on the highways.

dont thw your money away in tokikos and skunk 2's..... get KONI yellows and they will be the last strut you ever buy. match it with GC coils and wabam you have one nice *** setup that will outperform tokikos by 10000 times.

i have the gc's on koni yellows. if you get this set up, don't get off the shelf spring rates, get them stiffer! but if you're girlfriend is going to be in the car with you, just drive your car on stock springs/struts. don't lower it, you're girl won't like the bumpy ride around town...

but the gc/koni setup on my 98 hatch is wonderful! handles perfect, just need to put on my Si front LCA's with the sway bar to see how much better the car will handle.

so get gc/koni set up...worth the money!

I have the PIC Preformance Selects for my EK, with a Type R rear sway and ASR subframe brace. Handles awesome. I was willing to spend a decent amount on my suspension set up so it depends on how much you are wanting to spend my friend.
