Default Koni Yellow/GC combo

So i'm going to get the koni's this weekend, and was wondering since i'm buying them seperate what i need to get after the koni's as far as the ground controls and the extras that come with the combo rather than buying them indiviual? Such as Part number for the GC coilovers, bump stops? etc thank you ahead of time

Is the Koni/GC combo from Wek Sos truly a complete kit. Is everything there that I need for a 2002 Civic LX? It mentions that there is no tophat upgrade option, but there is a $105 premium, so I assume a standard one is included. Also, are they inserts? Thanks!

No top hats included. Re-use the stock ones.

Proparts.com might have them for a good price. I know they did previously.

I think a couple sponsors give HT members discounts.

Really look into spring rates before ordering. I ordered shelf springs and now that I'm getting more serious, they're too soft.

Ground control needs to have a spring exchange program. Maybe pay like $10 and shipping to exchange springs. Or we could set something up here.

320f/250 rear on 5th gen civic. Too soft. Ordered 450lb/in springs for front and rear. If it's too harsh, i"ll throw the 320s back on the back.

Thanks for the heads up on THMotorsports. They do have good pricing...and free shipping! I'm still up in the air on spring rates. I've seen recommendations as high as 450F and 550R for a street/auto-x car, but that seems a little too extreme. I'm leaning 450F 400R and a big rear sway bar. NotAJDMFanBoy let me know what you think when you get yours on.

What car do you have and is it your DD? I want to go as aggressive as possible while still being livable.

450F/400R would be good if you want some aggressive handling on the streets. That's what I got and it's perfect.
