Default Suspension For My 2008 Civic Si Sedan?

I have a question guys,

I just got a 2008 Civic Si Sedan and I was wondering what suspension Is good for the Sedan? Im looking for something thats stiff but can dump the car. I had In mind for some Tein Super Streets or maybe some Buddy Club N1 but Im not sure If those are good choices for a Sedan. Any sugestions will help, thanks!.

"Slam it." Tein ss won't go as low as Tein flexes.

Odd that you would say that considering my Skunk2 Pro-Cs come with a 12kg spring rate in the front and 10kg in the rear as opposed to the Tein Super Streets' 6kg front and 7kg rear. Both have adjustable dampening as well.

If you got the money go with tein monoflex. My buddy had it on a 2000 si and it was slammed SOO low and no rub to the fenders and even tire wear! Im so amazed with them. Not sure if they make it for the 08 si's but they good.

Also the owner of one6motorsport had skunk2(i think) on his 08 2 door si and he said they really good so maybe try those. K-sport is pretty much same thing and I had k-sport on my 00 si and I loved them.

Yeah sorry, I ment Slam It and N+ hah, I always think Its 1 for somereason. But anyways thanks for the feed back guys. Im not to sure about the Teins. I had Super Streets on my Dc5 and didnt like them too much but I did switch It to the Buddy Club N+'s so I might try those agian. Anything better than the Buddy Club's?. I also heard the Skunk2's arent really good.

Go with the skunk2 you will be happy. Or go with the k-sport those are really good too. The skunk2 and k-sport and pretty much exact same thing.
k-sport = orange
skunk2 = red
what ever u prefer

I think the Tein Super Street damper provide compromise between street and track adjustability compares to other coilover.

Check them out at: http://www.k2motor.com/sd-te-dsb14-kuas2.html
