Lowering the ride.

What shop you guys recommend? Any hookups? Should I go with:
OMNIPOWER
TEINS
GROUND CONTROL
SKUNK2?


Thanks for the help.

haven't had any personal experience with teins, but i know people are happy with their basic or ss. ground controls can be matched up with konis and you can even ask for custom spring rates for whatever your application. skunk2 can also be used with konis or tokicos (i think they work with tokicos). omnis are new...look promising, but then agian so did the hayames (which mine are still working fine )

Read the suspension FAQ. Go with what you want.

I went with the cheapest... in my case, Teins. I still need to find a cheap place to put them on though :Tup:

Yeah, I know, I'm cheap. But if I was a big spender, I wouldn't have bought a civic anyways

I went with H&R springs. They had the 1.3 lower, which is what I was shooting for. I love em rides just a bit stiffer than stock and handles really well. Ohh ya and its been about a couple months that I have had them. Good luck

I went to Tech 3 Performance like a month ago. And they said they would install the Teins Flex for $160.00. And the spring's price was like $1,800.00. I thought they were too expensive, but that's kinda what I want. Do you guys think I can find them for less and is the installation price resonable?

yeah i went to tech 3 a few wks for my springs. They probably offer the best prices in the bay areas for installs. Speedimage wanted to charge me $400 for install and aliagment.


oh yeah if your cars a daily driver, then i suggest you get neuspeed sport springs. They lower your car enough to get rid of most of the wheel gap, but you dont scratch on speed bumps.
