with Koni you ahve 3 settings, from what I know the hardest is WAAAAYYYY to stiff, the medium is perfect, and the soft is a little too soft...let me know if you want a set and I can try to get them for you
well, with tein u cant go wrong. u can set it how u feel like at the exact moment. im riding in medium setting of 8 but when i ride on hard. hahaha its sweet!!!.
only thing im not happy is that since its a full coilover it wont go down more than 1.75 inches GRRR. i still look like stock though. *yuck*
i think B+G has full coilovers too. might wanna do that too.

I've posted some important info on Koni's before:

Make sure you read it first before buying/installing

i have koni yellows and neuspeed race springs on my sedan. i have the shocks set at the stiffest setting. its hella harsh but you can adjust it....the stiffest setting is great for cornering...
night and day compared to stock. also depends on if you have rims and low profile tires...i have 205/45/16 and it feels very stiff like my car is going to break...but it depends if you want comfort or improved suspension....its a trade off.
before i had stock shocks and h&r sport springs...it was horrible...very bouncy.
are you looking for new shocks and springs?
koni yellows and neuspeed race springs installed is $1750 tax-in at defcon racing.
same price for H&R springs as well.
$160 for installation if you have the shocks and springs already.

cool cool, yea i have neuspeed sport springs and its at a good height but i think the shocks are going to go soon, and actually i want comfort rather then anything else.... so maybe tein, i'll have to see.. thanks for the info on pricing and so on i'll PM u guys if i plan to purchase
gary: if u didnt get my icq msg then here it is. i suggest u get the Teins cuz i sat in a civic with it and it's so sweet. and u also get to keep the stock suspension setup in case u want to sell yoiur car in the future
and if u get koni, u have to find stock front shocks to swap the yellow when u sell the car
so better get tein. good luck with the purchase and i get shotgun when u installed one of them in your car

depends if i'm willing to spend the money i guess, i just seeing how much Tein's outweigh Koni's, i mean of course get the best right? just depends if its truely worth it, so far it seems Tein's are the way to go
koni's are sweet no more multiple bobbing of head in the highway. harsh? well i can't set my rear cuz the lil tools they provide are being blocked by the outer frame. i've set the front on medium and handling seems pretty good. better than just h&r sport with stock shocks = ewww
