I have an 00 Si. I'd like to get a set of coilovers. I recently bought a set of Stance coilovers for my Evo and am very happy with those.

Which coilovers are best for a Civic? I just want a basic set as this car is a daily driver. Nothing outrageously expensive. Quality and durability are concerns. I have no problems with a stiff ride so that is not an issue.

 

Budget? Ground Control and Koni.

 

Well what Im going with and something that has great reviews and a great price are the Function and Form Type 1's. Great overall DD coilover and for $630 shipped it's a great price!

 

Pass on those. Get a set of Progress CS2's. Cheaper and a better product.

 

Why pass. Im not saying buy them? He want's ideas and that is my personal preference, don't tell him to pass just throw out quality coilovers.

 

I'm telling BOTH of you to pass on FF coilovers.

 

I am actually strongly considering the Progress CS-II. Probably with 350front/350rear spring rates. Might consider 350/500. Any known issues with the CS-II? Main concerns are quality and durability?

 

how do the progress cs2 ride? ive been contemplating if i should get them for a very long time now. i havent heard too much about the cs2 except that my mechanic friend and ex circuit racer recommended me to them. what spring rate do you recommend for dd mostly freeway driving?

 

^ listen to him

 

I've had function and form type I's for 2k miles, they get the job done for the money..

 

until they snap in half

 

LOL. thats why they are all over craigslist. Glad I avoided them.

 

Never heard any issues with them that's why I bought a set. So far I cannot comment on ride quality since the weather has prevented me from getting them on. They are not for slamming your ride so if that's what you want get F&F.

 

Koni Yellow/Ground Control setup. The Koni yellow shocks are lifetime warranty. For the EK chassis, 8k/6k springs are pretty good for DD, 10k front, 8k rear for track or depending on your conditions.

 

So how low are you running them? Just curious. I rebuilt my B18C and now my Tokico HPK201s can't keep my tires on the road when VTEC engages, so I'm back in the market for suspension.

I am liking what I am reading about the Progress CS-II, I'm thinking of dropping my Civic to the point where the tire is flush with the fender, and I need a higher spring rate over my Tokicos.

 

You want the tire flush with the rim?

I still say koni/gc!

 

The edge of the tire in line with the edge of the fender sorry not rim...

 

i called progress last week and they said the honda and acura setup is on back order until june 3rd. wtf i was ready to buy em too.

 

Ran Koni/GC on my 7th gen and a 6th gen EK and loved them.....never had a problem with either

 

Ive rode in several cars with Function Form type ones and they rode better than factory. Plus theyre about the cheapest fullbody coils you can buy. I wouldnt suggest sleeve coilovers.

 

That would fall to the progress coilovers.

Cheaper AND better then F&F
