Coilover opinion

Post by hr240 »

Well, the time is come for me to get some mods done to my Ek hatch. I want to build up the suspension before I dig into anything in the motor. I the first step i guess would be getting coilovers. I don't need anything that is crazy track suspension, just something to drop my car and be able to handle some back roads and corners. This is my daily driver, so nothing too bouncy. I have been looking at the Skunk2 Proseries, and it seems decent for the price, but i dont see anything about adjustable dampning. I have also been told omni power has good coilovers for a decent price. I am looking to spend around $500-$700. If any of you have used these or used comparable coilovers, your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks and sorry for the long post -Brad

EP3 just have a poopy suspension setup in general.

Just do some homework and stick with name brand parts, with good reputations.

Yeah I know, i went with h&r springs with tockico blues, just for daily driving. but the koni / ground control is the better setup for older hondas is what im saying.
