Ok so i am currently looking to get some full coilovers for my 02 ex coupe. i will be buying these with my tax return so about march of 04. i should have a budget of $1000-2000. what i am wondering is what is the best set for a daily driver/weekend racer. and also other the Tein and KW what is out there and where to buy. i searched throuh the forum but can't find exactly what i am looking for. any help would be great

Look in the FAQ in my sig. IT tells you most coilovers that are available. I don't know what you want out of your car and there is NO BEST set of coilovers. That is different for everyone. I think if you wanta good set for daily driving and a weekend racer then Tein SS or KW Variant 2's would be fine. You also have to figure into your price a camber kit and alignment. Tein Flex's and JICs are more for performance and autox than daily driving.

Well- I have the Tein SS on my 2002 ex coupe. Its my daily driver and I absolutely love the suspension. Its really good- handles awesome- looks good- and not bouncy. The only complaint I have is that I wish it went just a LITTLE lower.

When I sell the civic- I plan on putting Tein on my next car as well.

how stiff are the b+g's. that is my main concern i realy don't care about a rough daily ride, i want a tight weekend ride. (for racing)

I am guessing around 1-1 1/2 gap. Maybe less than that. Heres picture of my car with tein ss fullcoilovers. Didnt drop all the way though.

I say go with tein ss and save some cash. I am tein ss is good enough for daily drive and road races. Get rear camber kit too. Wont hurt you in long run.If you need any more pictures. Feel free to ask . I have plenty other pictures..

i have very little wheel gap. front is around 1-1.5 fingers and back is about .5-1 finger. i would just like about another 1/2" lower but i would still buy the tein ss again.
