This is the Phase 3 setup

 

Phase two with Phase three hardware user here.

The only problem with the Truechoice suspension that I have come across is the Eibach springs are 2.25" instead of the very common 2.5".
Notice I said "very common", 2.25" is not so common, but not hard to find.

Doing it again though, I would have chosen Ground Control, simply because of the 2.5" diamter spring.

 

2.25" will give you just a smidge more tire clearance..... right?

 

I have the Phase 3 stuff on my Integra. Lee from Koni sent me some handy-dandy 2.25 to 2.5 perch converters that work just fine. Inexpensive too as I remember (like <$10 each).

Incidentally, anyone using this setup have a lot of noise realted to it?

Have you tracked down the cause of the noise? Is it from the spring rubbing on the coilover sleeve or sliding around on the perch? If it's from the spring rubbing on the sleeve, it's probably due to the spring "bowing" and contacting the sleeve because there's not alot of clearance between the sleeve and the spring.

 

Phase 4 user here....

Only issue I had/have is that when they repainted the shocks pimpy blue they got too "fat" to fit in the lower fork on the front. I had to grind off the paint.

2.25" springs aren't a very big deal.

Thanks everyone, do the Phase 2 and 3 come with upper mounts? In the picture it looks like they do but I would like to know from someone who has the kit. Thanks.

 

what are the phase 4 spring rates? customizable?

how much do they sell for?

 

Spring rates are your choice.... they go for about $2k for a civic.

 

I've had the Phase 2 for the last three years.
They came with upper mount.
I like the 2.25 myself, they are smaller, and weight a little less. Negative is they don't come in very tall sizes, which most people don't want anyway and they cost a little more (not sure why?). I wish the sleeves were a little longer but not really needed with the multiple perch's on the Koni's.
Noise: haven't had any issues that come with springs that have no rubber between them and the mount.

The steering knuckle/hub to upper ball joint is what will rub on a double A arm suspension.

In the rear I did going around corners on the Autocross until I got a helper spring Then removed them, and the rear bar I installed eliminates droop, and therefore there's no noise. It was the spring unseating, rattling around on the threaded collar, then banging back into its perch. Scary, loud, but fixable.

Back in February I tried to get Eiback 700-800 pound springs. Eibach told Truechoice not until October at the earliest. The demand wasn't high enough. Used is always an option, but I haven't found what I have been looking for. Hypercoils for about $25 more, will get me what I want, if they have them, I haven't called.

The upper mount pictured is what the top of the spring fits into. That piece rests in the OEM top hat.
