Default whats a decent coilover setup?

well for my 94 i want to lift it back up to stock for winter driving.... but i would like to drop it back down for summer driving.....

but for now im just going to swap my strut assemblies from my 94civic and swap with my other friends stock 95civic...

but come to spring id like to lower the car back down.... so thinking about just buying some coilovers for the car but i dont know what type to buy.... i just know id like springs on them for a daily driver feel.... rather not have anything to stiff. i can deal with a firmer ride just not full race suspension

ive thought about just buying new struts and springs like i did for my 99 but this time keep them together so i could just swap the whole assembly out every season needing to be swaped BUT i think id just like some coilovers that way i can fine tweak my hieght so its perfectly even!

what would you guys recomend for a daily driver?
i just dont want any ebay coilover turds!

any recomendations for a decently priced kit...........

i see them on ebay for like 330bucks shiped... but dont see them on any online respectable site....
not sure if thier any fakes like the Stec springs on ebay... BUT im not sure... just looking for the cheapest/best customer service as i can



also what are thier springs rated for? daily driving, racing, or mix daily/race?

thanks guys. suprisingly fast responce and such a firm product sugestion. sounds good just wondering best place to buy and what to expect from the ride...

thanks again...... just trying to get some winter drivable car that i can simply turn down for spring and lay low again..... and back again when snow the next year. not sure how long ill keep this 94civic for BUT im liking it so far!!!!! i just have to start spending money on it so it can equal my 99civic style and sound. and i think i made up my mind... RSR exaust on the 94manual

their standard rates are a little low so it'll make for a nice daily ride with the right shocks.

Are you getting shocks and coilovers...or just keeping the stock shocks?

They are whatever you want, you can pick the spring rates.

If you don't want to shell out the cash for the Koni Yellows, then Koni Reds will do you just fine, they are a better product than KYB/Tokico.

My favorite online vendor stopped doing retail sales so I don't know where to send you. if you go Ebay, Kuruma Motoring is a legit seller

well i know i SHOULD buy new struts for them..... lets put it that way.LOL
but for the TOTAL price..... maybe i should just buy a full coilover setup that comes all built together..... or do you think that the yellows and ground control coil overs would be a beter setup?
i got all winter to save up at least.....LOL

Better than something cheaper? Yes I do.

Read this -- the whole thing -- and think about what it is you really need
