you should read on ephatch.com

with the koni's you gotta modify and use your old struts. to much trouble if you ask me for something that much.

Here is why you have to mod your front struts and why Koni's are a pain in the butt: http://www.hondatuningmagazine...nsion/

Yeah, too much work for me as well. I am thinking of going with Tein H. Tech springs cause I am affraid of blowing my stock shocks and not having anything out there to replace them with aftermarket wise.

D2's are usually way cheaper than other brands...usually you can find great group buys on them.

There is a groupbuy on groupbuycenter for k-sport coilovers for $600, which are exactly the same thing except for color. They're supposed be the D2 brand name in Japan. Only bad thing I've heard so far is that there is 2-3 month wait for them to be built and shipped.

actually d2 and k-sport are a little more different than just the color.. they do come out of the same factory but the way the dampening works is different. I believe there are also little other differenes here and there
