*Full Suspension Kit* ?? Hi there everyone!
Well, i've been offline for a while and i really don't know what new suspension products are out there. My old suspension set-up was made up of Koni yellow all the way around and some cheap coilovers. Well to make a long story short, that combo sucked and it all went to the trash after 4 months.
I was wondering if any of you guys know any full kits that are really good and not to expensive. By "full kit" i mean the sprints, strut/shock, and top mounts in one - example: Tein Flex kit. can you give me name of the kit and who make the kit.... thanks
......... oh and if you all wondering what i'm riding on.... they're all RSX-S suspension all the way around... not that great on civics but they work.

look in my signature. Right now if you want an upper mount, you have 3 options. Ground control has an upper mount that you can get with their sleeved coilovers. I have heard people say they like the ride with GC's and Konis. KW offers an upper mount at an extra price to the coilover V2's. Also, the EP JIC coilovers will fit and comes with camber plates and pillowballs. The cheapest option would be GC's and Konis. There are no such thing as cheap parts when you are conisdering uppper mount, springs, and struts.

Rep Power: 412 The tein flex, when it is released will have an upper mount. It was probably the crappy coilovers you had that made the ride crappy. The konis are a good product.
