SEN_ONE is selling his Tein SS coilovers for $600. Buy those, you'll like them. Some folks love the Megans, I have the Teins and they are great.

YEAH I SAW THEM, BUT IVE ALWAYS HAD DOUBTS ABOUT BUYING
USED SUSPENSION? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THOSE NEX
COILOVERS? ANY EXPIRIENCES? DO THEY LAST? THEY SEEM
PRETTY CHEAP IN PRICE TO ME!!

YEAH, THATS THE FIRST SETUP I WAS THINKING OF BUYING
BUT THEN I ADDED THE PRICE ALL TOGETHER, AND ITS ALMOST
THE SAME AS BUYING FULL COILOVERS!

and? So that means you can't buy them? Where does it say that full coilovers are better than pieced together coilovers.

You list 3 generic shitty coilovers and you would rather buy those than the well respected GC/Koni combo?

You still need a camber kit and an alignment.

I CAN BUY THEM!!!!!!! I JUST THOUGHT THAT FULL COILOVERS MIGHT
BE BETTER! BUT THATS WHY I AM ASKING FOR PEOPLES OPINIONS!!!
AND ABOUT THE CAMCER KIT, I WAS THINKING OF BUYING SPC.
ALIGNMENT I GET FOR FREE, SO NO PROBLEM!

Stop with the caps bro!!

You want to save some cash...I bought a camber kit from this dude for $74 shipped, brand new and exactly like the SPC one (if it isn't SPC).

Oh, sorry bout the caps! Sometimes i forget to turn it off.
Thanx for the tip on the camber kit. It looks like the SPC!
Does it last a long time, or does it wear fast?

Any other suggestions on suspension? something that is
good in quality, but at the same time not too expensive?

i wouldnt say those are shitty coilovers... it all depends what your plans are... are you actually planning to track or this just for street driving purposes only?

I was in the same situation as you and bought K-sports even though all my friends said to buy koni's and ground controls. So after all 4 k-sport shocks blew after 5 months, I sold them and bought koni's and ground controls. Way better. Definatly not going to make that mistake again. Only other coilovers I would buy are Ohlins. Save your money untill you can get koni's and ground controls. Or get koni's then get ground controls is another good option. Oh and I use my car as a Autocross car and track, but I also drive it 130miles a day for work.

Well, mostly for daily driving. maybe some autocross. i have a 4 dr
with major rear sag.

Wheres the cheapest place to buy koni's and GC's?

 
Rep Power: 352

amen to that.

one of teh best sus. set ups =]

konis deliver solid performance and they have adjustable dampening..and they're different from other dampenings because you dont sacrifice ride quality

 
Rep Power: 352

koni from http://www.ajusa.com/browse/index/1

and GC from ebay. but id suggest u get them stright from the GC by calling them and ordering it through them because ur gonna want 6" rear springs instead of the ones that comes with it (5'' springs)

what kind of drop will koni / gc combo get ya?

 
Rep Power: 412

I got mine from these guys http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/ for about $850-900 shipped with custom spring rates (you can choose any spring rates you want).

Cool, thanx for the tip. Thats still under my budget!
Ive been looking around, And theres not much
competition when it comes down to KONI's. Everyones
price is between 850-950.

how bout TOKICO D-SPEC are they good?
Or how about KYB AGX? Ive seen lot of people with them!

 
Rep Power: 352

^ey...they're nothing compared to GC and konis



dood, they're basically coilovers.......you can drop very very low... i dropped mine over 4" at a point

How long have you had them? and what type of
drop and springs do you have?

 
Rep Power: 241

i have a question about the gc/koni combo. arent there different konii so iono which i should get. and does anyone know how much of a drop i would get from them. a picture would be nice. looking for maybe 1 finger to 0 all around. i heard they are a very good combo.

 
Rep Power: 412

You have to measure your shock housing. Some Civics have 50mm, some have 55mm shocks. There also are GCs made specifically for OEM shocks and Koni shocks. It is all in the FAQ.

Why do you want pictures of coilovers? They are all going to be different because we all adjusted them to what we wanted. I never understand why people want pictures of adjustable suspensions...

SPC Makes very good products, I've been using them for about 10 years as of to date...
