Default Best Suspension for EM2

hey i have a 02 EM coupe and right now i have Skunk2 coilovers on my stock shocks. My car handles alright but i can feel that its not good. I was wondering what kind of suspension is best for handleing. i want my car to ride stiffer because right now it bounces alot and doesnt hug curves. Any suggestions.

I bought my F2's from Preston (aka. Pworld), here on Honda-Tech. I'm quite pleased with the results, and have yet to test my custom rate springs that I ordered with them. That will be an interesting day indeed.

ditto. and go edfc, just because who wants to get out of there car to adjust dampening?! i also have the tein ss and they work beautifully. i also have a set of tein basic coilovers for sale. they work great just no adjustable dampening.

They stopped making JICs for the EM/ES/DC5/EP3. The steering arm placement was seriously flawed and it destroyed a lot of steering racks.
I had them, they're quite honestly nothing to write home about.... The damping isn't any where close to matching the spring rates and the damping range was horrid, if it changed at all.
I switched to konis and GCs and knocked 2 seconds off lap times at the same track, under very similar conditions.
So my vote is keep the sleeves and put em on Konis... but what do I know, I only beat the **** out of my car on a regular basis.

I'd listen to this guy.

As for me, I have Buddy Club Racing Spec Dampers. I have yet to take my car to the track with this new setup, but they're very stiff. I've taken turns here and there (who am I kidding, I've taken plenty of turns with them on) and they're awesome!!

It'll cost you though!
