Default Which coilovers/shocks to buy?

I have a 95 Civic an I lowered it with some cheap coil overs from ebay and it was prolly the worste choice ive made in a while.. It rides horribly with the stock shocks on it cause they are bottomed out with how low it is.. Anybody have some coil over brands that they like?? maybe dropzone?? im not wantin to spend much more than 300..let me know...

Dropzone is decent quality but pretty stiff ride even when set higher. KYB is a good brand. eibach makes some good stuff. Tien is super nice but pretty sure your not getting a set of those for 300. I say maybe go with the dropzones. I had a set and they were ok.

Tein sucks, thats all there is to it. Their high end stuff is still kind of iffy. For the price, Tein sucks. Buy koni yellows and ground controls, proven and reliable. Or buy buddy club or d2 coilovers if you have the money

Tein is expensive, but they're pretty good. But other good brands are HKS and Eibach, but you won't be finding those for 300. You won't be finding anything good for 300.

id also suggest koni yellows and Ground Control coilovers... pick your spring rate and order brand new dirrect.
they are reasonably priced as well BUT the koni yellows are very high BUT should be the last struts you ever buy... im very happy with my setup! but dont expect a slammed car to ride comfortably.LOL
