Need some suggestions

I will be getting rims, and suspension for my car soon. Can I get some suggestions on what springs I should buy. I will be using my car for Auto-x and I want a nice tight ride. Without spending 1000's. I appreciate the help, and thanks in advance for any help.

Go with GC's, they are the best dude...
I have a friend with the tiens and he was astonished at how well my ride was... He was like, "damn, I like those, they are nice"

Lol

And at just over 1/2 the price... lol

i have skunk2 coilovers, and i love them. They are cheap and work very well, just get some aftermarket shocks like koni yellows.

Ground Controls are good nice and stiff but I recently switched to Tien SS and love the ride much better... I still have the Ground Controls I'm willing to give them up for $90 I have no use for them since Ihave the new suspension... if your near the north Jersey area drop me a note.... One...

Of course if you have the money get the Tein coilovers, everybody and their mother wants the Teins, if your on a budget just get some springs or "sleeved coilovers" which are basically adj. springs and save up for some koni yellows or Teins. Whatever floats your boat. Me personally I have Progress springs and I have no complaints, I love em. I am riding on 18's and even when i hit a bump its not that bad. Ride is definetley stiffer. Plus the car is to low to have Honda service it anymore, they can't get it on the lift, but it doesn't bother me. My lazy *** just has to do my own oil changes now!

Rims: All opinion, get which ones you think are nice. If you want performance oreintated rims get some light *** 15's or 16's. If you want your car to have a nice chunky look get some 18's. And if you wanna be a pimp, get some 19's.......[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
