these have dampening which i like but i also like the pro s due to price. let me kno what you guys think and if you can find any coilovers that are under 1K with dampening.

Links work for me.

I've heard decent feedback about these manufacturers but on different chassis, not on fg/fa applications. I'm in for some feedback as well.

why do you need adjustability?

also, RedShift has koni/eibach combos and some are adjustable.

QUOTE]

I dont need it, i just want to have it. I want to be able to adjust my stuff to my liking and when i put my dr's on they dont destroy the fender from being lowered. Adding shock for my set up right now isnt a good idea. My lowering springs were bad in the rear so i couldnt use them. They were too soft and i was tucking the rear wheels. So i have factory in rear and kept the springs on the front. If i get new shocks i need to get some new lowering springs and for the price of that i might as well pay a lil xtra and get the good stuff. Plus i wana start autoX and doing like road racing or time attacks.

Do you mean dampening adjustment? All shocks/struts/coilovers dampen suspension movement.

Unless you have seperate adjustment **** for rebound and compression single adjustment *** set ups aren't worth the extra cost from my point of veiw.

megans have a bad rep with the new civics, forget why. search here and 8th and you will see. honestly spend the extra bucks and get a more reliable setup. dont go cheap on suspension

Not in my book. I put mine up for sale for a while cause I wasn't driving my car a whole lot and didn't have alot of time to enjoy them....but I changed my mind and decided to keep them.

So now I have them back on the car and when I was driving my car in stock form it felt like a Jeep Wrangler in terms of handling compared to when I put the suspension back on.
