koni makes shocks, not coilovers

 

you sure about that ?

go to http://www.modacar.com , go to honda , com down to suspension and click coilovers . scroll down tell me what you see ?

THEN WE'll talk !

ALSO , by the looks of it I am assuming the everyone here is running standard shocks with lowering springs !
No one running coilovers !

a lot of people use different things. Some full coilovers (mugen, tein, zeal etc) some regular springs with aftermarket shocks (eibach with koni you get it..) you basically cant go wrong with the setups that are popular.

 

Uh, yea. Koni makes fully threaded coilovers for the Honda/Acura market.

 

How can tein come second? HA's only come with 8kg and 6 kg for a eg civic thats like 450lbs and 3xx lbs, that sucks.

 

Um, nah...........***** it. Springs are what matter not the device used to hold them.

 

Shocks do matter!! You better find some suspension tuning books to read on.

shocks aren't only just hold the springs, it stablize them and absorb un-wanted shocks from the road...etc

shocks and springs are qually important.

 

TEIN is pretty good, but there are problems with TEIN coil over system
TEIN HA's threaded body would rust after awhile, so as the adjustable spring perch. If you don't take care of them , they will seeze on you. Then you will have to hammer the spring perch to get it loose, and hope they don't crack on you, otherwise you will need to get a new one!!

TEIN is pretty good coil over system one of the best buy on the market, however, TEIN isn't everything, there are others like MUGEN N1 Coil-Over System, ZEALs, PANSKE, KONI Racing coil over system(customized), Quantum, Ohlins...etc which will beat TEIN's coil over system in the test. On the other hand, some of the coil-over system I mentioned there are double the price of TEIN HA.

BTW, TEIN does customize spring setting as well, you just have to place an order to them.
