Ive heard some good stuff about B+G as well as Form and Function.

I have good past experiences with Tein, and Progress.

Yea this topic has been covered pleanty of time...do a search.
But, for a quick answer:
I would run something setup for a DC5. You will have many more options, and you will get better handling as they are rated for a bit more weight, and performance.
It will take some extra parts to get them to fit, but it will be well worth it.
You do that and the options open way up...TEIN, JIC, Spoon, Mugen, BuddyClub, HKS, Top Secret, Fightex, etc. The options are endless...

switch to custom rated gc's and keep your koni yellows. index your struts correctly to get rid of the noise.

Umm, no. What he has on there is better than anything Omni makes.

But, I agree about looking at a set of GC coilovers and using your Konis. Maybe someone can post up what they did to get rid of the 'noise'.

others have recomended getting GC coilovers. My understanding is GC have specific assemblies for Koni applications. Since you have skunk2's you would have to purchase new Koni's.

If you dont like the skunks then buy decent springs from <U>Eibach</U> or <U>H&R</U>.
