I have a 99 civic coupe that i daily drive i wanted to lower the car a little bit to eliminate most of the wheel gap maybe a 1-2 inch drop at most and i wanted something comfortable for daily driving i dont plan to race it or track it just something comfortable and to lower car a bit.

 

TEIN.

 

What teins? Or would you suggest a shock and spring ? Ive heard about koni yellows and eibach pro kit

 

Shocks Bilstein B6 or KYB AGX + springs Eibach Pro Kit or Eibach Sportline

 

I've got the ktuned k1's on my coupe and absolutely love them! Super smooth ride

 

are Bilstein B6 or KYB AGX better then koni yellows in comfort? I want something really smooth and comfortable even on rough roads

 

I don't know what comfort is on Koni.
I've got Bilstein B6 set in my car.







My suspension is 4 cm (approx. 1.57") lower than the stock and with 15" wheels and tyres 195X50R15, I think it is an appropriate compromise between driving characteristics and comfort.

 

what top hats do you use or recommend getting

 

I don't want to recommed you any top hats, because I don't using that.

 

how about yonaka coilovers? just had a set delivered a couple months back, but haven't had the chance to install them on my 2000 ex. it'll be replacing my old tanabe sustec pro SS.

 

do you use the oem ones?

 

I’ve seen them but aren’t the spring rates really aggressive?

 

Yes, I do.
Suspension im my car is 100% stock except shocks and springs + complete set of polyurethane suspension bushings 80ShA from Stronxflex.

What is ur budget

if quality in ride then those cheap “one piece” isn’t it

the cheapest quality suspension
progress cs2 $700 ish?
gc Koni custom rates something like 350/300

or just Koni yellow shocks and lowering springs for now

koni yellow retail $500-550
but u can find and shop if you have patience u can get them for $400-450 all 4
the. Lowering springs or even eBay coilovers til gc
I’ve used Koni on eBay coilovers they work fine.

 

What's your budget?

 

not sure. i emailed them and they suggested to get their regular one and not the race. the race one is more aggressive. but overall, i haven't had time to put them on and now got covid.. gonna be out for a while.

 

@99civic ex coup, what did you end up getting for coilovers? i just installed the yonaka coilovers and the front has plenty of adjustments, whereas the rear even set to the highest, it's only 1 finger gap, which is a bit too low for my liking. i'm still adjusting the front, so hopefully when done i can test ride to see how i like them. if not, then will probably sell them and get something else.

i use to have tenabe sustec pro SS which i absolutely loved with different dampening setting. plus nowadays i see some coilovers that has the tophat with adjustable camber which looks neat (possibly save on having to get camber kit?)

 

I am currently saving up for koni yellow ground control coilovers i am so close to getting them i think thats a good choice for daily driving a but pricey but suspension is something i do not want to cheap out

 

For best quality, I recommend Koni/Ground Control. I've had them on my Civic since 2000. I still adjust the heights every once in a while and you can swap out springs with Ground control's barrel springs (by Eibach) or regular Eibach ERS springs. You can sometimes find the rates you want cheap on forums.

For best value I would go Eibach Pro-Kit, H&R or Neuspeed springs onTruhart sport shocks. I have the Neuspeed/Truhart combo on my 05 TL for years and they ride very nice and look great. I think I spent around $300 for the entire setup at the time.

 

Could you give me an opinion on what spring rates since i can get custom ones

 

where are some place with good deals on koni yellow and ground controls? i take it you'd have to use the top hat from the original suspension?

 

Koni ground controlI wouldn’t say this is a good deal but this is where i plan to buy the coilovers from https://groundcontrolstore.com/colle...ch-special-kit it includes top hats, bump stops, koni yellows, eibach springs. Its a full kit
