Question Which Springs/coilovers Should I Get?

I NEED HELP IN CHOOSING SPRINGS, BUT SO FAR THESE ARE SOME OF MY CHOICES... "INTRAX LOWERING SPRINGS" "SKUNK2 RACING COILOVERS" OR " WEAPON R COILOVERS" WHICH ONE YOU THINK ARE GOOD FOR A NON BOUNCING RIDE, OR DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICES BESIDES THESE? THANK YOU.

first off dude the caps ...TURN THEM OFF.... second off out of those choices you named i would go with the Skunk2 Coilovers....( ever considered Ground Controls)? but as far as the bouncing haven't heard anything on them!


edit: i believe the ground control coilovers might be cheaper then Skunk2 i believe so i would go with Ground Controls though but most likely like alot of people say you would want new shocks though( even though i don't plan on getting any new ones when i get my car again and drop it with GC's)

I hear from a lot of people that the Tein S Tech springs are good. It lowers the car about 1.7 in. all around and rides like stock. My friend has a set and when I see him driving I never see the car bounce. I might have to get a set on my Rsx.

some say the ride on skunk2's are rough, just do a good job installing them, and i think they are good when driving fast, not in rough residential areas though
