Looks like you're going super low budget. Mistake.

neither. Save and do more research. Google is your best friend. There is also a plethora of information available just in a good handful of threads on honda-tech, let alone the rest of the internet.

Please read the sticky about suspension set ups: https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/click-here-all-you-curious-about-suspension-setups-their-costs-reliability-2967499/

Worse. Raceland and Rokkor. Look them up. Super lo budget and quality. Broke kids have convinced themselves that they're good.

worse then Bor-chuann??? lol im gonna research this

edit: just looked and researched rokkor and raceland. how could anyone in their right mind feel comfortable spending $350-$500 on a set of coilovers.

DDM coilovers for BMW are another disaster.

Don't believe that marketing hype you see in the magazine ads and articles. It's bullshit. More than likely they get kickbacks from these companies for promoting their shitty products.

Don't have a clue. You don't say what you're using eh car for. Daily? Track? AutoX? Perhaps you might want to familiarize yourself with the gray stickied threads at the top of the forum.

what kind of tokicos are you installing, because if they are blues those are an oe replacement strut they will not handle the pressure from a lowering spring go with skunk 2 shock absorbers they feature shortened shock bodies and reduced shaft strokes to help maintain adequate suspension travel on lowered vehicles
