Best bang for the buck.
 

I want to do the suspension on my car, but im unsure of what to get. Whats the best bang for my buck? I dont really care about adjustability, I just want a little drop, but a good ride. I will be running the 205 50 15 tires. I have heard the koni and ground control is a good combo, but its pricey. What do you think will suit my needs? Someone local is selling a koni/GC Setup, but he had it on a 96-00 civic....so im not sure if those will fit.......I think they will thou, right?

RE: Best bang for the buck.
 

Front shocks and all springs would fit, but the rear LCAs are different and the rear shocks won't fit.

Best bang for your buck would be new shocks and used springs. I got my ground controls for the CRX $120 used. You can find a decent set of non-adjustable springs for less than that. If you don't want to buy the Koni Yellows you can buy the Reds, which will be better than many other choices in the smae price range. Even cheaper, buy some blown Konis and send them out to be rebuilt. Helpful hint when looking for used stuff, any 94-01 non-R integra suspension parts are going to be the same as yours...

Ok, Id definetly just buy new shocks and springs, but any idea on the best place to get em? I check ebay of course, but didnt see the reds.... What springs do you suggest?

weaksauce.org, shox.com, hell, you can get them from Summit Racing. :D They are also called "koni classic" or "koni special"

Springs.... something name-brand, there are lots of choices. H&R Sport/Race, Eibach Sportline, Neuspeed Sport/Race, etc etc. S-techs may or may not be enough of a drop for you. I'd go about 2". But you decide [8D]

ps. there are a lot of product reviews linked in the sticky at the top of this forum

Koni/GC[sm=smiley20.gif]. those springs mentioned are also good.

cut and heat your spring, it's what all the jdm kids are doing now

RE: Best bang for the buck.
 

heeltoeauto.com has some good deals on stuff. but right now they only have Skunk2 shocks, and Skunk 2 and Tein springs.

If you're just looking for a drop and a comfortable ride, nothing too aggressive, than the Tokico HPK setup is really nice. I've got it on my car and I have 17" wheels, ride feels as smooth as stock, maybe even smoother. Just know that if you want performance, it's not the best route, I'm trading my whole setup out soon for the Koni/GC setup so I can really devour some roads[&:]
