Unhappy new suspention needed

I currently own a 02 civic coupe with Tein ss coilovers that I have had for about 2-3 years. I am at the point that i need new ones because the comfort level is shot. What i really liked about them is the ride hight adjustibility. I am willing to go to spring/strut combo if need be. I just want something that will allow me to lower the car equal ammount if not lower and still give me comfort. Price doesn't matter. I would prefer other coilovers but open to suggestions.

Koni struts with ground control coilovers. But the koni's only have rebound adjustability. Maybe tokico d specs with ground controls is what you're looking for. I always thought tein ss was the best of the best so I doubt any other brand will give you what you need and you'll probably run into the same problem. Perhaps you can just rebuild/revalve your teins.

yeah the rebuild would be worth it if they are already what you like and you still have your stock suspension.

eavry look into other suspension parts like camber kit ?maybe that would help it made a difference to me also if you have just the coil overs and not the shocks your preventing the shock from geting all the air it can get because its only to about half the shock so their for not allot of hair pressure but hey what do i know lol im just saying what i think im no pro tho

Re: new suspention needed

Just the coilovers and not the shocks? The coilovers have the shocks lol...I am very confused by what you are trying to say here. You had it right in asking if there was a camber kit installed but that doesn't seem to be the issue at all. I say if the SS is your thing either send them off to be rebuilt and go back to stock while you wait, or buy another set while you wait for them to get rebuilt. That is my opinion though.
