GL!

 

My friend has them on his BB6 prelude. He loves them. They don't go SLAMMED but they still go pretty low. The ride is nice too. I'm looking to upgrade to these from my spring/shock combo later this year.

 

Alot of people don't have the money to spend on Koni and Ground Control. Like myself.

I can get these for 550$ shipped, when Koni/GC is around 850$

 

thank u for that link !

 

..dam ground control with koni yellows must be awesome.. that is the tried and proven set-up. def considering that set up.. i think u need a special ring or somthin to run the koni yeelows with gc ? am i correct ?

 

thanks for the reply .. i should of stated i am def not going to slam the car ,..just lowered maybe 2" or less. guess im getting older because i cant stand a loud exhaust or a slammed car.. been there, done that, moved on, to really improving the cars performace.

 

why do you need coilovers, especially those pieces of sh*t. if your looking for a 2in drop you can get that with eibach,H&R ect ect and actually run a good dampner unlike those taiwanese garbage things

 

what i would do too

$300 for koni str.t shocks

$180 for your choice of springs

= 480 and you have koni quality

 

They make GC sleeves that fit the Koni yellows, just specify that when you buy the GC kit.

 

Where are you guys ordering from? Best deal I can find is $600..

 

Progress coilovers (not sure which model) I believe is under $600, good quality, only 1 year warranty but fairly cheap damper replacement, made in the USA. Might want to look into those if you can't raise your budget and need/want to dial in your ride height exactly.

 

580 is pretty expensive ... i got my type ones for $500 bnib .... anways ..... this full coilover system is imo the best bang for your buck ... 10k/8k spring rates ..... its not bouncy at all ..... i had mine for almost a year now and i daily my car with ocassional canyon runs and they still run good ..... its either this or koni/gc for me on that budget ...

 

i run this setup here. the str.t shocks seem identical to the eibach pro dampers. both made in argentina as well. this setup is 430 shipped

Progress > F&F

Just look @ the R&D a company puts into it's products.

*edit* added bonus! Don't forget "inspector 5" Quality Assurance section of any company that builds good parts.

1.5slomatic racebum md426 patrickgsr94 ysosrs stock sohc dx thanks alot 4 ur opinions !. i see you guys on alot of the threads i read ...its good to here what u guys think about this delema i have. im researching everthing each person said and i can hopefully pull the trigger on this suspension purchase.

 

i love my eibach setup and the fender gap is around a half of a finger so its a nice drop. very quality ride for a lowered car and the handling is great. i highly recommend it to anyone looking to spend under 500 on suspension.

 

dam surprised i didnt get bashed for starting this thread. i know there are about 30 more just like it. lol . everyone putting in great advice. for real........

 

if you're dead set on cheap coilovers progress has a better rep than FF

a lot of us who have been around and raced awhile just hate buying crap twice and or having parts fail then be stuck buying them again.

noobs often overlook things like the warranty

pros heavily weigh it

 

i got the type ones. I have had them for 4 months or so and i love them. Im slammed and they ride nice, just stiff enough but not so stiff where u hate every bump. I would recommend them and they are rebuildable which is nice.

 

One more thing to add, Koni does not and will never make Str.t shocks for DA integra's. You will have to go Koni Yellows, or another strut/sleeve combo, or get 94+ forks and modify the rear struts, and still I believe the suspension travel is different so you could run into problems if you plan to dump them.

 

If you've got track goals you should get budget coilovers made by a racing company.

Progress CS-II's are $580 shipped from the dealer here on H-T. Function/form are for high school kids who want to slam their cars on a budget.

I've got the 350/350 setup, I recommend you get the 500/350 setup. I wish I did. I'm debating if I want to buy the 500lb front springs or suck it up and buy Koni/GC. I've only had my progress CS-II's for 3 months, and I already regret not buying something better.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the progress CS-II for the money. Hands down best thing under Koni/GC. But it's easy to second guess your decision.

For most people, waiting a month or two is the difference in a shitty suspension component, or a quality component. I had/have the money for AMR/ Koni/GC and I bought progress CS-II instead. They do amazing for what they are. If you HAVE to cheap out, Progress > Function/form

 

Just went with the Progress CS-II's myself and waiting for shipment. Did alot of research and reading and as far as satisfaction with product Progress has shown to be tops in the price range.

I'm talking research from November of last year. I'll post what I think of them on my DD when I get them installed hopefully this weekend or sometime next week. $640 for me cause of Kalifornia taxing.

 

Racebum said it, buying things twice suck.
It's better to paitent and save a couple more bucks and buy the best for it's price.

I think about this every time I see my car

Op, from reading your first post, I think the progress coilovers would be best.
The shocks are cheep if/when the time comes that need to be replaced.
On top of that, progress is a great company, that sells great products.

Good luck
