suspension set up
okay, soo i am learning more and more every day about civic's
i've try'd doing research, and i kind of like peoples opinion
on lowering springs...
what kind are the best?
ST Suspension?
Skunk2
eibach?
NEUSPEED?
Tien?
D2 racing?
would it be worth it for coil overs?
i dont want a huge drop. i am not trying to slam it to the ground.
i just want about 2 inches. maybe more? maybe less....
i ran crappy adjustable coil overs..i didnt have a camber kit, and i didnt get it aligned, the ride was bumper, and i hated how it drove.
if i get adjustable coil overs i am afraid that its going to be bumper and a horrible ride,
will it be bumpy and bouncy no matter what if i dont buy after market shocks?
i cant do that right now. should i not make a purchase intell i can actually buy a complete set up?
i am looking to stick with lowering springs...i dont think they will be such a pain in my ***...unless you members tell me other wise...
what suspension do you have?
how do you like it?
what would you have?
and what should i get?

This is why we have a product review section
wtf does "it's going to be bumper" mean?
You get what you pay for. If you want an aggressive stance and good ride quality, save your money and buy a nice setup. If you need to have zomgjdmpartsnow, slaps some tein springs on it and call it a day

would it be worth it for coil overs?Yes
i dont want a huge drop. i am not trying to slam it to the ground.
i just want about 2 inches. maybe more? maybe less....If you're saying maybe more maybe less, coilovers will give you the freedom to choose
i ran crappy adjustable coil overs..i didnt have a camber kit, and i didnt get it aligned, the ride was bumper, and i hated how it drove.You don't need a camber kit, you definitely need an alignment but I'm sure the bad ride was due to the crap coilover set on (assuming) stock or crappy shocks
if i get adjustable coil overs i am afraid that its going to be bumper and a horrible ride,
will it be bumpy and bouncy no matter what if i dont buy after market shocks?yes and no. It all depends on the spring rate and the shock you use. You can actually get a near stock ride feel while lowered quite a bit if you have the right setup
i cant do that right now. should i not make a purchase intell i can actually buy a complete set up?I would suggest so. Save up, do some more research and buy a quality part. In the end it'll save you more money. You should know, you're a perfect example of why to save and buy good parts first. You went with crappy coilovers and now you're looking to buy a new setup...
i am looking to stick with lowering springs...i dont think they will be such a pain in my ***...unless you members tell me other wise...springs are great and fine, but obviously you cannot adjust height and you're stuck with the spring rates
what suspension do you have?Ground Control/Re-valved Koni Yellow
how do you like it? Simply amazing setup, proven winner, high quality, easy adjustability. I highly recommend it
what would you have? I'd have Moton shocks if I could, but that's way out of price range. I'd definitely stick with my setup over any other..
and what should i get?I'd suggest coilovers and more speficially Ground Control and Koni, KYB AGX work well, Tokico Illumina's are nice too depending on spring rate. If you don't want/can't afford adjustable shocks then maybe Koni Reds, Skunk2, or Tokico Blue shocks.
