HELP ME DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna hook up my civic 2002 ex coupe(silver). What springs or coilovers should i use should I use stock shocks or koni's. i wanna either get konig traffik(gunmetal) or konig helium(silver). I have been looking for coilovers for awhile now I was thinking Ground control but they are too expensive. DOes anyone know of less expensive but good/decent coilovers. Will springs + shocks void my cars warranty. I heard that honda dealers are getting bad about that. Right now i just have an exhaust on my car, its a magna-flow I took off the resonator to so its pretty loud but it sounds good. Theres just too many brands to pick from.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

i should lock this but i feel aiite today so i wont...
-koni vs stock... depends, how much money you willing to spend? how low of a drop? springs or sleeved coilovers? is a comfortable ride a must?
-cheap sleeved coilovers = crap to me. only ones i recommend are ground control or skunk2. both are $300. too expensive, i'd say just stick with springs
-warranty, read the suspension FAQ. it wont void all warranties but it will void the suspension. remember in order for a mod to void a warranty is the problem has to be cause by the mod you made...
-exhaust probably voids more important warranties then lowering a car.

eh, teins are good but the ones out, tein ss, dont drop low enough for me... i think only 2" the most... other then the drop, they are good.. they're more daily driver oriented so the ride is a little more comfortable then other coilovers..
what about B&Gs... they have self-adjusting dampers... drop much lower then teins.. they're both about 1100 shipped i think... but i think teins retail for 1400 and B&Gs 1600, not that it matters
