Here is a pic of the hayame's
I drove a RSX with the B&G's and really liked the ride quality
It would really depend on what you to pay.
hayamae are $650 and the B&G's are $880 and up

Rep Power: 374 Nice pics!! Any pics of the B&G?
Also the Hayame and B&G are alot different. The Hayame is only height adjustible. The B&G are height adjustible and don't they automatically adjust dampering with the more you drop?

Rep Power: 412 B&G's are self adjusting like osoboosted said, so there is no **** to turn from soft to hard. I also think they have a helper spring like the KW's. I would get Tein's over B&G's but if you want us to choose between those two, then I have to say B&G.

B&Gs look higher quality.
Just an Off topic question but, How much Negitive camber can you get out of the Jics?

the camber has nothing to do with what suspension you choose... camber is affected by how low you choose to go.

didnt even see them... i still think that ull need a camber kit to correct the camber fully tho..
the camber plates dont look like they're on the rear and thats the ONLY part that needs camber adjustment.. not the front.. i duno just my 2 cents.

Rep Power: 380 Um, lets see....... I'm not looking to correct camber due to lowering, I am looking to adjust camber for autocross and track days. SO I will be running Vastly different camber then some one on the street.
For autocross I'm looking to be able to adjust to -2 to -3 deg negitive camber on the front. Track days Im looking at -1.5 to -2.5 Deg (depending on the course). The rear, I'll probably run -.5 to -2 Depending on the course.
Which is why I asked about the Jics.

Rep Power: 416 it depends... anywhere from 1.30-6 hours probably. if its your first time i'm guessing 4 hours.
the hayames should be easier since its a direct swap.

Rep Power: 416 eh if you think of it that way everythings a direct swap. with b&gs you have to take apart the stock strut while hayames you dont. as with everything else hayames offer you top mounts that were designed specifically for the coilovers.

Rep Power: 431 Not direct swap. Just like tein ss. Have to use stock strut upper mounts and bearings to put it on. Which was kinda pain in the *** but whatever.I had to do it, easy swap anyway. Hayame fullcoilovers are direct swap.
Well just to let u know i have the hayame coilovers. In my opinion they are a nice ride. I had skunk2 coilvoers with the oem shocks and that ride was hella bouncy. Depending on your budget i would say go with hayame if you lookin for a smooth ride and a low drop. But if you want a better performance then i would say go with the teins or b+g. I havent been in a ride yet with any of those coilovers so i cant tell you how they are. But I got to give credit to hayame for their coilovers because for that price they are smooth. I am goin to try to get pics up as soon as possible for you guys though. I am suppose to meet up with Drew(DizWikidCivic) and he going to take some pics for me. I hope sometime this weekend. SO keep you guys posted.
the easiest way to define direct swap (bolt-on) is if you could install it out of the box. teins and b&g are not by that definition because they are not complete and with 02+ models you need 01 parts.
