They rode great. Just a little harsher then stock, which is to be expected with any coilover.

then you are stuck at the said height of the spring with the coilovers you can go up or down thats really the only difference

Tein or Cusco(i'm sure you have zero need for Cusco tho)
/thread

i did a shock/spring set up and will never do it again. i had KYB AGX's and H & R springs on my CRX. handled very well. road like i was on rails though with very little drop. i've got Tein Basic Coilovers on the civic now, and it's well worth the money.

My question is, what are you looking to acheive w/ the car? Do you auto x or race at all? Is this for show purpose, a bit of both?

One thing I've learned over the years is: if you can't afford it, don't get it until you can. Absolutely do not settle for a lesser (junk) brand.

Bang for buck, I've rode w/ ppl w/ the GC/Koni set-up, and they seemed pretty nice. GC has definitely changed their product from about 8years ago when they were shit.

yes they can be as long as u choose the right springs... Tein S-techs give you a nearly perfect drop while maintaining stock ride quality and you dont neccessarily have to buy aftermarket shocks with them

cheap coilovers are horrible....get skunk2 or ground control coilovers with a good shock/strut combo...i hear god things about koni and tokico with ground controls

Just over a year I think, I like them. TONS of adjustability. Esp for the $$
