Default HELP ! What Coilovers kit should I buy ?

What Coilovers kit should I buy for my Honda Integra Type R 1999?

I want good Coilovers for daily use on the street.

Prices range about 700-900$.

For example Skunk2 Pro-S, Ksport Kontrol, D2 RS ?

Koni Sport/Ground Control. Might also look through the ITR forum to see what those guys are running.

Best for the money = Koni/GC in my opinion.

But seriously, the ITR is itself such a niche vehicle with a small ownership population that you'd be better asking the ITR forum. I'm thinking most of the ITR regulars don't visit the suspension forum all that much.

I have Ksport Kontrol ProCoil-overs. I found mine for $700 but later i found them for $650. These are great coil-overs. 32 way dampening adjustment, so they get pretty soft for a comfy ride and pretty stiff if you wanna get aggressive. I wish they get a little stiffer, and i wish that the stroke was a little shorter also. I get some rubbing on steep driveways. But over all, for the price, great coil-overs.

If you're looking to get aggressive with turns, then definitely invest in a coil-over set. however, if you're just looking for an aggressive stance, you can find that with a cheaper shock/spring set.

I also had a set of JIC Magic FLT-A2, these were awesome coil-overs. They almost completely got rid of all body roll. But at $2200 for a set, they were pretty pricey. But then again, they were serious, track/street coil-overs (not to be confused with street/track).

The Koni/GC is also a great set for the money. Again, it depends on you! These are all opinions!
