Default Tenzo VS GC

I know that when it comes to coilovers GC owns all hands up. But for my specific application i need to know some of your suggestions.
I am going to lower my 95 accord prolly no more than 1.5", however i do need some adjustablity, so static springs is my last option. I have ZERO interest in performance right now, and my pockets arent deep, so i need some good quality adjustable springs at a decent price (not necessarily high performance). But i dont want to over do it since i wont be racing. Keeping all that in mind, what brands could be good for my application? And does anybody have any experience with Tenzo coilovers? THnx.

what about the tokicos illuminas...i havnt read anything about them in...wow...6 months...been focusing on agx's and sportlines, but i believe they have an adjustable height. can find a set on ebay new for like $360 or so. thats not bad, and ive heard mixed reviews about them...so do a little research. i dunno about coilovers...ive never heard anything good about 'em, but thats just me.

Honestly if your not worried about quality, just find the cheapest ones on Ebay. It just looks like your willing to do something twice, wrong the first time and right the second. Think ahead, save some time and money by doing it right the first time.

Actually as i said in my original post i would like something that is quality, im just not as performance orientated. Cheap anything doesnt equate to good quality and i want to do it right the first time thats why i made this post, so it would be more helpful to me if i could get some good advice about what brands or other options that fit my application.

actually you can find some Ground Control coilovers on Ebay for about 300-325 shipped, i know about 6 months ago i paid 310 for my GC's shipped off Ebay!! GC's in my mind are the best bang for your buck.

GC are about the best 'spring and sleeve' coilovers you can get.

If you're looking to not spend a lot, and still want quality, then just look arround for a nice used set. I bought a barely used set of GC coilovers and a new set of KYB AGX's for $350.00.
