hey wats up. . . i just got a 1992 Civic Cx, white, in really good condition. . . i got it off of some old guy for only $3000. but anyway. . . i'm lookin to buy a good pair of coilovers for my car. if anyone could help me out. . .that'll be great. . . and how much of a drop is good for my car.

 

koni shocks are great, can handle high spring rates if you later decide on much stiffer (full race/autocross) setups.
koni yellows are sweet because you can adjust how they dampen the springs, so you can go from a firm ride to a more like stock ride with one or two turns of a **** at the top of the shock.
koni reds are a cheaper version because they dont offer adjustability unless you remove them from the car.... I wouldnt mind having these if on a tight budget.. just set them, to full stiff, install and go driving... but for the extra loot of yellows, you might be more competitive if you autocross.

ground control springs are on a threaded sleeve that slips over the shocks, you can get ones made to fit konis too, they have less parts and are a little lighter as a complete setup.
these offer height adjustability between usualyl a 1/2" drop to a 4" drop... remember that a 2" drop is all you need to get maximum handling.
ground control rocks because they offer so many spring rates and will be happy to talk to you over the phone to help you decide what is best for you.

I have a gc/koni setup on my 92 cx and am more than happy with it. no swaybars and the car handles like a champ. for around $800 it was one of my favorite mods to the car.

cheaper routes are a set of springs from neuspeed or eibach and then tokico shocks, that can save you hundreds of $$$$$ but wont be as adjustable.
