Civic Coupe - Coilover upgrade
Heya folks,
I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm planning on going for some sort of coilover upgrade for my 99 coupe, I wanna ideally use it for track days but use it as a daily driver, any recomendations, I live in the UK but was looking to import gear as the selection of kit here at present is a bit poor. I head apexi stuff was good but I've only just started looking.
Also, I'm looking at getting some new wheels + low profile tyres, which would be a better choice in terms of performance, 17" or 18" wheels, the car will be putting out around 240hp once my turbo kit's so I wan't to be able to put the power down safely.
Thanks for your help folks.

If you are talking about threaded sleeves to be used on regular struts then checkout Ground Control or Skunk2, other than that most are junk. If you are talking about true threaded coilover dampers, check with Tein, Zeal, H&R etc. I've had many different suspension combos over the years and now have Tein SS, I'm please overall with them.
performance and talking about 17-18 inch rims does not go together when speaking of civics........IMO
what do you plan on doing with the car....road race, drag race....daily driver..? when you figure out what you want to do with your car, your options with become more clear.

It's going to be used mainly day to day munching up the miles on the way to work. However I need to be able to adjust the suspension as I plan to take it on track days, is that any help ?
