I have been wanting to uprade my supension on my DA for a while now and want to know what would be the best bang for my buck or should I save for somthing better. I know you get what u pay for and am willing to spend a little but not break the bank. I wanted to stay JDM so i was gonna go with some tein's but is there somthing better or comparable. Please give me some insite on some products that are good from experience.

It's possible to find a good set of used Ohlins coilovers for sale at a decent price. That's what I did.

 

I have ZEAL B6s and they are damn nice... Ohlins are top of the line. ZEALs aren't much worse. If you can get either for a decent price, that would be sweet. A more cost-effective alternative would be to do custom spring rates on ground control sleeves, and KONI or Tokiko adjustable shocks. If you are using this on the street a lot (especially with plus size wheels and low profile tires - 45 series or less) I wouldn't recommend going much over 10k (560 lb/in) spring rates. 10k on good shocks is very stiff... I'm glad I got 10k spring rates rather than 12k (670 lb/in).

i just got some tein's basic coilovers.....from machiii.net for $675 shipped....those are decent for the price.....

 

Tein basic is a good buy. ALot of people that look to buy a skunk2/tokico set up, end up spending more than what it would cost to get a set of TEIN Basic's. The Teins ride beautifully. THe Tein SS is a little bit more but allow u to have 15 way adjustable shocks.

Let me know if you are looking for a set.

 

Ground Control..ill be upgrading from my neuspeed sports to these once i finish my motor swap and get some money...struts whise, id go with either of the 3..KYB AGX (what i have now), Tokico Illuminas (great struts), or if ya wanna save go with the Koni Yellows (best of the three and worth it IMO)..
