Default Suspension thoughts

Hi everyone....currently my 96 ek has skunk 2 pro coilovers for about a year now...and im not happy with them..many reasons....so what id like to know is what y'all reccommend for me to replace them with, it can be just springs or another coilover system for smooth everyday driving that handle well. I don't want to necessarily dump the car either. thanks

As have I.

More than likely everyone will tell you to go with the GC/Koni setup tho. Seems like the popular choice and works very well.

if your into just the slammed look and want some really good shocks then i would suggest the Koni/GC set up.

but if you want something that really is going to help with handling and not to worried about the slammed look, then i would go with nuespeed race and Koni shocks. not to say that koni/GC setup won't help in handling (because i know it does), but i personally don't like sleeve set up. i just can't afford a real coilover set up right now.

They have a good set up for your car. Talk to Joey and tell him Ryan sent you and your from Honda Tech. Ryan's car is in there team page.

Help someone who helps the racer's.


They may not be the cheapest but your getting quality stuff.

I rode in a EK with the Koni/GC setup and it was crazy how comforable the ride was, and it had good performance
