Need honest opinions I've been researching a soon to be suspension upgrade for my 02 EX coupe. I've been working with Truehonda.com for all my parts (they rock!) The two full coilover systems I've been researching are the Tein basics and the B&G systems. Both seem to be of high quality, durability, and ride quality. I'm looking for a 1.5" drop with of course a decent ride. The setup is intended for around town driving, alot of highway driving, and I occasionally I hit the SCCA tracks. The price is identical but I am torn. 
Please give me your thoughts and opinions. I just can't make up my mind! Thanks!
The OMNI system truehonda sells also looks to be a very well built system?
Also, do you think a simple spring and strut/shock combo is better for me?
Maybe a Eibach sportline and Tokico HPs?

a spring and shock combo would work as well, but the tokico HP's wont cut it for you at the SCCA tracks, but just about perfect for a good daily driving street vehicle. the best part is that the tokico hp's perform best with a 1.5"-1.75" drop as well.
springs + shocks = $650-+?
tein basics = $850-+?
B&Gs = $900-+?
if you got the bucks and money isnt an issue, definatley full coilovers. the springs on the full coilovers are perfectly matched with the shock which is normally better than mixing springs and pairing it up with random shocks.
btw, i think you would probably want adjustable dampers if your serious about track days (koni yellows
)
i vote for B&G's, they can go lower, seems like they perform better than tein basics at the track while still giving a great ride.

Rep Power: 262 Ok good points. B&G's do sound like a very very well built system.
However i just found a set of Tokico D-Spec adjustable Struts/Shocks and matched spring combo on ebay for $705 bucks with free shipping? I haven't done any research on the D-Specs. Any opinions on these?

Rep Power: 0 Dude, have yet to read much comments on your current GC+Koni setup? Will you ever put the JICs back on or is this setup better?
