Default Help me choose good suspension setup

Hi Guys,

I own 4th gen prelude..
And I'm looking for a good drop and good suspension for auto x and track racing.
What are you using guys?

Please post pics and reviews and possible price tag you paid.

Thanks in advance!

If you're looking to spend some "balla" amounts of green, I'm sure 117 has some suggestions. If you're on a budget ($500-$900), the common response will be Koni+GC or KYB AGX+GC.

I agree.....the best bang for the buck are the gc coilovers with the koni yellows.....but if u got the cash id imagine a full coilover/dampener system would beneficial,just because you can set up your car for different driving conditions/styles.....because lets face it.....u dont want your car to handle the same on a crappy street filled with potholes as it does at the track....would be way to stiff and uncomfortable,lol.

If its just a dd that sees a lil track time here and there,I would opt for the cheaper set up....but if its just an autox car than do the suspension up accordingly.

DUDE! OP's car is parked sideways in the middle of the damn road. So the guy on the sidewalk is the least of the worries.

Thanks a lot!

So I see everyone is using and suggesting Koni + GC and KYB AGX + GC.
Which you think is better? Koni or KYB?

Ok so if it is DD but you like the twisties and only hits the track everyonce and a while what would be a good spring rate to go with on the GC's front and rear?
