I'm liking my H&R race springs ever since i put them on, I've only had generic coilovers before so I cant speak on how Tein's perform, my last set of coilovers striped so I am baised away from them now.

Tokico + H&R =

I've ran this set up on every Honda I've owned.

Shocks $250 (PP) or $400 (HP)

Springs $150

...and a very soft ride.

Never been on TEIN before, but I'd consider giving up my set up for TEIN Flex w/ EDFC.

I'd switch to Koni yellow struts instead of Tokico's if you go that route. Although as long as you are considering the Teins, I would just go with those.

How about the H&R cup kit? I believe they are koni shocks with H&R race springs. Also you can get them for a little over $600. How much can you get the Teins for?

or i could get a brand new set of tein ss's for 750.....but the thing is is that i already have the tokico illuminas and the h&r's and then my friend offered me this great deal. Wondering if it would be worth it to sell my shocks and springs and save up the little money for the SS's. Anyone wanna buy some tokico illuminas and/or h&r race springs? Both of which are brand new and have never been mounted on a car.

my tokico shock was alright i had maxspeed coil overs and rear strut bar front strut bar and a rear lower tie bar, with 205 tires on, my EK handles like a champ, and is stiff like a muscle on rides, but now i am getting some 5way adjustible tokico so i'll see how good this can handle on my EG with some skunk2 coilovers
