Default Coilover questions

Ive got a 1995 Integra. So far waiting to be installed Ive got an asr sway bar and subframe brace, Skunk2 front and rear camber kits, and BWR Lower control arms. Its now time to buy a set of coilovers or lowering springs and shocks. My last hatch I ran BWR coilovers with no complaints but i might wanna try something new. Any recommendations. The cars summer only and autocross every few weeks. And yes if your going t ask ive autocross a bunch of time stock, id just like to lower now haha.

Was looking into BWR again or skunk2 Pro ll's, racelands?, or Progress or something around there. Im really don't want to spend a ton but am looking for the best bang for your buck in sort of a budget coilover or lowering spring/strut...

Ideas anyone?!?!

Im also seriously considering the Progress CS-ll. They seem to be a good coilover for the money...

I've had a couple of name brands myself (Tein , F&F , Skunk , and sleeve kits with Koni shocks) I am very happy with the performance my HSD's have given me. I have my car lowered, with the dampning set in the middle. Car rides great on the street. The quality is there and it's NOT MADE IN CHINA..lol. I want to say I paid $1000 for them, I'm going to get another set for my EK.

Sure you can!!!Try our H-T vendor!!!


I have had a great experience with my Progress CS-II's. 350/350. By far the best ride I have experienced in a Honda. As comfortable as my Lexus less all the bodyroll! I recently upped the spring rate in the rear to 450 due to body roll while Auto-xing

They look to be good coilovers. Good reviews on here. I had probably went with them instead of the KW's if Tire Rack carried them.
