Re: Rokkor

3 years warranty is great if you live through the failure of them while you are going 80 down the highway crashing violently into the median.....

Re: Rokkor

thank you guys, lol for some reason the reviews seem pretty positive, so what would be best for performance and handling when it comes to coilovers? theres soooooo many names thats what confuses us as the consumer with little or hardly any experience at all..

Re: Rokkor

Suspension isn't a cheap investment. Any reputable brand will run you around 800-2500 but most of them are around the $1000 mark.

Then you will need a camber kit (about $150)

And an alignment. $60-150

Re: Rokkor

in all fairness those were set way beyond the manufactures recommended specs not to mention the raceland springs he decided to pair with them for hella lowness. up in till that thread i have never seen a problem like that with progress never.find another snapped progress strut like that and ill grant you three wishes.

megan isnt really the best...nor is it close. it IS, however, a decent low end coilover.

anything from tein, progress, yellow/GC, buddyclub, etc...these are mid ranges.

then if u want to go high end, you can get bilistin or KW...but there is no real reason to get the extremely high end...(unless you have too much money, but at that point why do u have a civic)
