Default Suspension Question.. ??

I getting my Type S tommorrow...

I wanna lower it later.. but what should I use.. I live in Canada . where theres snow.. I usually use stock suspension in the winters or not drive it at all.. I do go on track a few times in a year... Not so familiar with Coil-overs.. But I wanna get Tein HA's for my car... it cost $2600CAD... But I have no knowledge of how to set it to be honest... I had a Prelude with Yellow Koni's and H&R springs.. And I was pretty happy with it..

If I don't go with Coil-overs.. what should I go with ?? What brands.. ??

Your best bet is to go with coilovers. Since it snows you can just adjust the coilovers and make the car higher. This would probably be your best bet. Another good coilover is skunk2. I got them and they ride good. But if you got the money go tein. I have heard they are good. Well Good luck.

Its the best way to go.Get either tein or skunk2. Both are good. Even ground control is supposed to be good.

Bad idea... No offense... I dunno if you go through any winters where you live.. but winters are BAD for coil-overs.. Coz where you have snow.. you will have salt.. and the salt will eat into the springs and joints.. making it hard to screw coil up and down... I had this idea bout the coil-overs too.. but My friend raised up his coil-overs pretty high.. on his integra.. higher than stock .. for fun.. haha.. but when summer came.. the salt ate into the shock and everything was stuck... He was driving the 4X4 integra for the rest of summer... no money.. lol !!

So its a no go.. but thanks man...
