ok im thinking about finally modding my ek civic and was thinkin about starting with suspension. i was looking at possibly getting some Koni Red's but im not sure what springs to get, partly because i dont know whats compatible with the Konis, what brand names are good to get and how much of a drop would handle well and look decent on a 4dr civic. any suggestions?

 

If it was me i would skip the lowering springs. I would go with koni adj. (yellow) and stock springs. That is just me though.

 

KYB AGX 4-way adj. & stock springs or if you really want it lowered 1.5-2"max.
just my .02

ok im confused, i was under the impression that shocks were used to adjust the stiffness of the ride and the springs were for height. you're telling me that with the koni yellows i can do both with just the shocks?

EDIT: oh and also i went to prostreetonline.com and checked the application chart for the koni yellows and it didnt list my car. http://www.prostreetonline.com...hocks

 

Yeah the koni's have adj. perches to lower. The valving will also make the car lower alone. They also have an outstanding warranty.

cool, wheres a good place to get em? like i said previous i checked prostreetonline.com but they didnt have ones for my make and model, and modacar.com has em but they're like 500+ bucks. i was lookin at spending around 300

 

I picked up some KYB AGX's they are 4-way adjustable for $315 @ http://www.triangleautosupply.com

 

I'd either go with some used koni yellows or some itr suspension.. imho the red's or the kyb's arent as good and I have ridden in cars with all of them..

the kyb's are much more rigid
the koni reds are ok
koni yellows less stiff than the kyb's
itr a little softer than the yellow
