Default TEIN vs Truhart Coilovers

Which coilover would be better for my Eg hatch with a b16 swap? TEIN Street Advance or Truhart streetplus?

Given those two sub-par choices, I guess TruHart.

This thread would have gone infinitely better for you if you said "I have XXX amount to spend, what is the best suspension setup for my price range"

I don't want to spend over $1000 for coilovers. Which ones would be good?

Tein SA's aren't sub par. I've been using them on my TSX for 60K miles now. IDK what would make them sub par. They're fantastic if you want something simple to use in all types of climates that is comfort biased...and plan to lower slightly or moderately.

Its obvious that the TruHart has more features leaning toward slamming the **** out of a car. If you'd like to slam the **** out of your **** for **** cheap, the Truhart is where you wanna be.

You haven't mentioned a purpose, however, OP.

There are litetally 50 billion coilovers available for a civic for under $1k

No, I do not want to slam my car. I just want to lower my car and make it look better. I am more into performance and street racing. No cheap coilover just bang for the buck coilovers

I've never ridden on them, but I have had multiple sets of Tein SuperStreets, and those are garbage. In fact, every Tein I've ridden on has sucked, so I just figured the new, low end ones sucked too.

Tein SA's are great. don't plan on lowering more than 1.5".

OTS GC/Koni yellows are also a top contender. Lifetime guarantee. Don't plan on lowering more than 1.25".

Tein street flex or flex Z if you want something more agressive and with more adjustment.

There's also AMR and PIC.

Try researching those brands.

PIC will be more than what you have mentioned you would budget for. PIC are awesome in my opinion.. I have them on my track civic ... but if you are considering TruHart, PICs are not for you... The original Tein Superstreets from 2001-2004 were fine.. anything after that was junk. We have a set on our EF and they're holding up fine.

Your best bet is Koni / GC or Progress CS2/3. I wouldn't even consider TruHart, but I'm a track junkie...
