Default Few questions about suspension on 94 Civic CX

Of course, I searched... but I need more opinions answering my 3 questions

1) On a stock 94 CX, is there a spring that will give a perfect drop on 15 inch wheels? If not, I will consider GC coilovers on stock shocks.

2) Everyone talks about how good teins are and about koni yellows.
What is the best/most economical suspension combo fot the buck? Koni yellows with GC? etc.......

3) When getting ready to install springs or coilovers, what else should I replace in there? (bushings ? which ones, how much? )

Thanks,

Nikos

PS If someone has some springs they don't need anymore I would be more than happy to pay shipping and a few $$$.

1 - I bought my car with some Tenzo R springs, the drop was very nice looking.

2 - Koni yellows + GC custom rates are your best bang for the buck. If you're looking for a ore economical approach then KYB AGX and GCs will do the trick.

3 - If the bushings are fine I'd leave them, it's highly likely you'll have some seized ones though.

When I get another GC perch (I have 3) I'll be swapping my springs out, not sure it'd be cost effective to ship these Tenzo R things.

best bang for the buck is used Tein HA's. I picked up a set for real cheap. I mean 'the price of Koni cheap'.


Tein charges $75 per shock to overhaul it.

or you could always get Neuspeed race springs with KYB AGX's for a hundred cheaper

From what I've heard/read used shocks are generally not a good idea.
