Do a search. We've talked about this dozens of times in the past few months or so. Also check the FAQ at the top before you post.

 

TODA ... nothing better ... lol ... at least in my opinion but you have to be willing to spend the money ... HKS has some for our car as well but not to sure how good they are ... but if you want to jump on a band wagon with most people then get the tein ... its not that i dont like tein but everyone has them and i cant see why else besides being able to adjust suspension while inside ... anyway still up to you

 

Guess it also helps to know how much you are willing to spend.

 

mugen coilovers.....kingmotorsports.com $1100

 

tein ss-p's..i currently have Tein SS w/o Pillowball mounts on my 05 rsx type-s and i love it.!

 

I'd go with a K-Sport kit. STRAIGH JDM!!!!!!! But If not that then I'd get Tein. I had those on my Spec-V and I liked them.

 

If you are looking for what we think the best coilover is on the market (within a reasonable price range that is) I would say the Buddy Club N1 coilovers are your best bet.

I am running the Megan Racing coilovers, I had the B&G coilovers before these. So far I like the megans but if I had the money for the Buddy Clubs I would have bought those. I got a hookup from a friend who sold me the megans for cheap so that is why I went that route. I know alot of people who run the buddy clubs and they all love them. These were all people that have had coilovers in the past but wanted something better. One of the guys this is his 5th set of coilovers, the others just didn't perform the way that he wanted but he is now in love with the Buddy Clubs. He previously ran Tein coilovers, then the B&G's, then the H&R's then the megans, and now the Buddy Clubs. He said that these preform better bar none.

 

Thanks everyone for their input and suggestions

 

buddy club n+

 

mu buddy had some tien ss with pillow ball mounts and the car rode awesome

 

I have Progress coilovers on my car and I love them.

I was using BC N+, but after 2 track days 2 front structs broke, since I want my car can have more fun on track so I switch to TEIN N1. Front and rear lower around 2.5', front camber is -4 and rear -1.7 degrees. It is definitely help a lot on the track, also when driving on the street isnt that stiff too, I like it a lot.

 

Hey, do you have anymore pics of the inverted tie rod?? How did you thread it?

 

BC N+ is def not for track use, but i do feel your pain about them breaking. hopefully my b.c. racing spec dont break.

that is the J's Racing steering tie rod, because of -4 or more negative cambers, stock steering tie rod will not be short enough to adjust the toe back to 0 or adjust to toe out, so J's racing one is basically shorter and give more adjustment on toe.

 

I think BC racing spec damper is a lot better than N+, the reason I bought BC N+ is because I have BC racing Spec on my S2000 before, I love it a lot.... So I think BC product will also works good on the RSX, but........

i don't think k-sports are jdm. i think they're made in china or taiwan.
i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that's what i heard/read

 

I have BC RSD's with Swift springs and I couldnt be happier. The stock springs on the RSD's are great, but since I do alot of tracking I decided to bump up the spring rates from 10kg/16kg to 14/18. I have compared my setup with countless others and I am glad I made the decision to go w/ BC.

If you want to go with the name buy Tein, but if you are looking for some serious performers get either Buddy Club, JIC, or Zeal.

im crying about my 10k/10k, i wanna get softer springs for the street,

 

I've got HKS Hipermax and I love them. I have not had one problem with them and I 've had them for about 2 years now. Great adjustabilty!

 

Honestly there is not much different with stock, just the length of the steering rod is shorter, so u can adjust the toe back when u using -4 and up camber. Dont expect that it will be firmer than stock..... also that J's Racing steering rod is not for up side down mount, is only the MUGEN lower bracket design for up side down mounting for the steering rod.

If you ask me is it worth to get it, honestly I dont know too. Coz when I order the TEIN N1 from Japan, those ppls said I cant use back stock steering tie rod coz of the MUGEN lower bracket that 2 holes for connecting with the kunckle is preset from -3.5 to -4 camber set up ( I dont need to use pillow ball mount for a lot of camber), so the shocks will more closer to the chassic, so I have to get it....
