Default 99 lude suspension

hey guys im thinking about lowering the lude here pertty soon but im havin trouble deciding on what to go for..... i was thinkin about gettin tokico illumina struts and springs cuz they are a package on modacar but i want some adjustability in ride height in case 1.5 inches isnt enough for my taste.... i saw a package on modacar that was koni yellow sport struts and skunk 2 coilovers but i was wandering if anyone had tried this combo and how well they worked together i would like a bit stiffer suspension than stock but not super bouncy like i see all the hondas here in oklahoma.

edit: i just looked at the modacar website and the skunk 2 coilovers are paired with the tokico illumina struts which are also adjustable

don't do it. coilover sleeves + stock shocks = wasted money, and time.

Ground Control + Koni is the best suspension out there. don't sell yourself short with skank2 or tokico if you can afford to run the best. However, if you just can't bring yourself to spend the extra 100 bucks on koni yellows, then Ground Controls and Tokico's or KYB's will be fine too.

do a search for GC/Koni or Ground Control Koni in this forum and in suspension.

must be different for a 4th gen my suspension set up is fine im right down to the wheels on all 4 tires, my **** very rarely unless i hit a speed bump doing like 10 mph does my **** bounce at all. i know alot of people have had problems with skunk2 but i like them...plus i got a good deal on them from a local shop...that helps too.
