what kind of ride are you looking for? tein makes alot of different types of coilovers, for street, drift, roadracing ect. plus its not cheap.

considering its in a civic, we can rule out the drift kit.

eibach ground controls are some of the best springs. ever. tein is good, once you get into the higher priced stuff, im not a fan of their low-end products. my vote goes for eibach ground controls .

The only thing that held me back from buying Tein's were the shitty standard spring rates they offer. I'll be going with a Koni/Ground Control setup. If you're looking for a full coilover that isn't too expensive you could always go with Omni's or Skunk2's.

I have the Omni Power Coilovers and they rock! You can't beat the price - I got my shipped to my door for $650.00. Excellent value - just can't adjust the dampering but hey I love the stiff ride - handles great.

I have to agree with TEIN's lower line of product, namely the SS being less than satisfactory for my taste. I haven't tried any of their expensive kits. But the one I have on my car now has left a bad taste in my mouth from this experience and will not venture to purchase any of the higher lines from them.

I was looking at the ss w.pillow mounts from tein for my 89 crx and i thought they were supposed to be good. now i am hearing that is not the case. what is it that is so bad about these. the reason i was using them was for autocrossing not just to lower my car.
