coilovers are worth buying but you have to check it once a month. id prefer gc or skunks or maxspeed. others tend to jam. hope this helped a little[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I think the ride on springs is better than coilovers.

Anyway this is what I've experienced. In a 2k1, the ride with coilovers on stock struts is pretty bouncy (and doesn't look good on the outside), however the ride in the 2k2 on stock struts is not as bad due to the 2k2s having better struts. For the 2k3s, I assume that Honda hopefully used the struts from the 2k2.

I'd go with Ground Controls or Skunk2s. Skunk2s would be cheaper in price but they're no different. The Ground Control with Koni Yellow set-up gives you the lowered ride with the feel of the ride being stock. The Koni yellows are also adjustable.
