what you think of them for performance and daily driving. Please keep the answers to real coilovers and not some cheap sleeves (or Skunk2 or GC) you bought from ebaY.

Well I'm sorry to say that I have not had the actual expeirience of riding on mine yet but I just got some Tein SS 16 way adjustable dampners (true coilover dampners) for my crx EF with b16a swap. You can adjust them for daily driving or put them on a higher level for a more stiff ride for the track. I strongly suggest them...my good friend has the Tein basics on his eg hatch with b18c1 and it rides actually really nice also and its SLAMMED with no visual wheel gap.

i'm running JIC magic full coilovers (non-adjustables) on my ef, and the ride is pretty stiff, but not too bad for daily driving. recently, i went auto-xing with them and really liked the way they handled despite being set damper...JIC is expensive, though, and i wish i'd have gone with teins for the price i paid (i would have been able to get adjustables easily).

Best thing you can get. Also got real adjustable coil overs with 1 spring @ rear and 2 springs @ front per side...
My car is really slammed but I still got some rest comfort. But the best is driving on the track :D There you feel the big advantage!

Used to ride Oldskool Tein HA's with upper pillow. One of the few who had them before Tein was ever in the USA.
As for ride; I loved them rode perfect for the street. Litttle stiff for some, but you cant have real performance with out sacraricing some comfort. Turn them up a few notches and they could take on the Auto-X, Caynons or just some on-ramps no problem. I wish tein would have made some Higher end suspention for th EF's instead of just stopping at RA's.

Can't explain it so good, b/c of my bad english. At the front, I got 2 Springs at each coil.On the bottom a little one, and on top of this a big main spring...
