Icon7 any ideas....coilovers

i have an 09 civic si coupe is black......its all stock exept for the intake(AEM short ram) other than that is all stock....

now, my question is. i dont know what to get full-coilover or just springs and shocks......????

the think is that i have no idea what type of coilovers to get....iwould like to get something cheap, good quality, and not so stiff....
but on the other hand i have had good experiences with springs. for example i used to have a integra gsr and i just lower it with neuspeed springs,,,,and well the best not stiff and really low to impress.....

give ideas and comments pleace.....thanks.....

First of all, type properly. Either in English, o en espanol, por favor.

Tein, Skunk2, HFP, Eibach. Try there.

There is no such thing as cheap AND good quality. You decide what you want out of them. If you want to go the cheap route, then do springs.

that dude was just being an ***.

tein, eibach, etc.... are names of companies that make suspension products. so he was being half of an *** cause he suggested things for you to look into.

people pick on other people on this site well.....because it's easy to talk **** when you're not face to face. just get used to it. people in america are cruel.

Sure there is. Skunk2 Pro-S are relatively cheap and good quality. They just don't come with damper adjustment.

I forgot that one. I was considering coilovers with the skunk2 pro-C's design of height adjustability when I made that statement.

OP: I say go with Pro-S's. Kidnkorner has a set going for cheap.
