a tein basic damper kit would set you back about 600-750

 

Koni/ Ground Control...don't settle for less

$1000 and you are done

 

I'd go with TEIN...

 

I am searching for the same info...but I have been hearing that Ground Control springs with a good shock set up would be good.....someone said 500 front 400 rear....

 

The hell with GC's, this guy is willing to spend a grand.....TEIN Ha's yO. Complete and total adjustability for ride height and dampening.

 

ef *****... you got a link to a site that sells them.
i was contiplating the Tein HA's. i heard the SS's suck.

let me know whats up. thanx for the info. peace!

 

vtecvoodoo sell em here i think. hit him up.

 

cough jic cough

 

click the 'pimp new sus' link in my sig. daiyama is good, dampend well, 'rides nice' and is 800 buks shipped to your residence.

what kind of service do they have/offer if you need to repair/rebuild your shocks???

just wondering b/c that is always the problem with going with japanese companies that have no US support...

 

Are they only for EGs??

 

teins all the way

Basic's and SS's are the only ones I found so far that work on our 4th gen's....

 

I have Tein HA's on one and Tein RA's on my other EF...both are excellent and handling is night and day compared to stockers. Tein
also, Tein can rebuild their coilovers here in the US and they have excellent customer service. I have personally dealt with them and all I can say is that they get from me
I brought in a set of used Teins that I bought from someone else and they stood behind their product...now that's what I call excellent customer relations

Got this combo and absolutely love it.

btw: don't buy the hype of Tein.

 

i havent had to deal with rebuilds yet, but the service so far has been awsome. so im sure if i need to send them back, they'll take care of things quickly.
the ones i have are for eg. i just used eg front forks and they went right in no problem.

another good option is gc/koni btw.

 

Lo-Buck EF... thanx alot. those look awesome. but they wouldnt work on my car...

i have a real EF-9...

the rear lower control arms are similiar to the "jdm itr". sorry i wasnt more specific earlier... any more susgesstions?

 

if the jdm R rear lca is the ame as us 98+R, then u could get the ones for 98 spec R

 

Vtecvoodoo does sell them for a very competive price. He can get you th HA or SS for the EF.

Teins got my vote for real coilovers. JIC are nice but they don't make it for the ef and are too expensive.

do you need the 88 rex/itr lca's to run these set-ups or can you use your stocker's?
i have an 89 si hatch

 

dude, run the itr version of my sus with eg front fork. cheaper that tein(hype) and alot easier to do that changing rear lca

98 r shocks would be taller than a shock for an ef9.

JIC DOES make suspension for 88-91 civics.. you would just have to change out your lower arms for US ones if you want the JIC's.

i have never personally rode in a car with a koni/GC set up... but someone said above that it is 1000 dollars. i would just save up a little more and get a REAL coilover setup, not the sleeve type.. but thats just my opinion.

tein JIC
