Default what are your opinions

I have a 90 si hatch, and currently have the H&R coilover on them and it seems like the shocks are going out. So I plan on getting a new different setup, the three that I have in mind are the PIC selects, Skunk2 pro C, and Ground Control/Koni.

Since they are all close in price range I wanted to know from the folks who has used them or road in a vehicle that has it. What are your impressions? Which of the three would you prefer and why?

for your H&R's, is it the club version/full coil over or just the sleeve?

The H&R are full coilover got them roughly like 4 years ago from my bro when he got rid of his crx. Checked H&R website and seems like they have a different setup now. The ones I got don't have the extra little spring on the bottom and shocks are gold in color.

you could email them and see if they can re build them for you. it would be cheaper then buying a whole new set.

this is my only car and if I send it to get repaired i have no use of my car. also i am getting tired of this setup it doesn't really cut it for me anymore. i am gonna start going to auto x and other events and would like something with more adjustability and hopefully a little better ride.

for auto x..... always seem to hear that now.

make sure you choice what class you want to be in first then, before buying a new set. but from what it sounds like you want to be running in the Street touring or street prepared class'. will if that's the case, then you can't go wrong with gc/koni, they have been tried, and tested and everyone say's go with that. but i've also heard good stuff about pic too.

so go with those two, and try and sell your old h&r's. im pretty sure someone would buy them and rebuild it for them self.
