Do a search for "coilovers."

And I'd go with Koni yellows and Eibach ERS springs, but that's just me. Either that or Progress.

Tein are very reputable...the spoon n1 dampers and buddy club dampers are good...word from englishtown is that the fastest guy had a NA d16 with koni yellows and custom GC springrates...so more expensive isnt always better...

Well, prices start around $800 a corner and go up from there, why are you asking?

Weirdo.

I'm gonna be the first to say: Zeal Function 2! they rock. My friend has them on his 99 CX, and damn. well worth the $$$$. he has a plethora of other suspension stuff too (he is a local SCCA dominator), but those damn struts/coilovers/whatever are awesome.

Ok so what kind of application is the Viorent Grip suspension needed for?
Racing/show/drag/what kind of car?

Or was it just a generic question wasting space in here?

And yea, i had a little fun with the stunna pic, so what?

Read grassroots motorsports, we will be having a comparo on this very subject although preliminary findings show that for the average guy single adjustable konis are just as good as anything on the market. If you are a serious auto x guy going to nationals, maybe the $1,000-$2,000 setup is for you and is worth maybe a few tenths off your time. If for just bling, I like the teins with the cockpit control, its just cool, but to just improve handling konis and a good set of springs with an alignment.

If it is just for street use, and you want a sportier ride thats not overly harsh, I reccomend APEXi WS coilovers.

There was a review thread where everyone posted what they were using to drop, Ill see if I can find it for you.
