Okay, whew... I was gonna say, how could anyone not like coilovers?! lol If you've got the money I highly recommend them. I went from a KYB/lowering spring setup to Tein SS dampers on my EG and it was like night and day. I will never own another sport compact car without a coilover suspension.

You should be fine with a 2" drop on some springs and still have a decent ride. Just take 'er easy over speed bumps and such and your stock struts will last longer.

 

So im guessing i will still need a camber kit with like a 1.5 to 2 inch drop even if i get it aligned??

 

hey naucrx, how much did ur coilover setup cost and where did u get it?

 

Yeah, you will definitely need a camber kit with a drop like that if you want your tires to last. Without one you can at least correct the toe with an alignment so your tires will last a little bit longer. Plan on having to flip-flop tires at least once if you skip the camber kit. My car is dropped about 1.75 inches and I've got -2 degrees camber up front and -1 in the rear after an alignment. I like the way the car handles and rides though so I think I will leave it as-is and skip the camber kit. My tires probably won't last more than 20,000 miles though, but that's all right with me.

I got the Tein SS coilovers on eBay for $400!! I spent about 3 weeks on there searching like a madman until I found them. They are used but in perfect working order. The only thing wrong with them is the green paint is coming off where they attach to the spindles. I think they were still a smoking deal though! If I remember right they run about $900 new on eBay. But IMO they are well worth $900.

 

yeah a camber kit is always a good idea even when your not lowering your car a lot. omni power has good coilovers for like 650 dollars, tein basics start at like 750. the super streets will run 1000-1400 depending on car but are efdc compatible

 

so these coilovers ur talkin about include the strut too right?

 

yeah full coilovers from omnipower are like 650 at http://www.passwordjdm.com/prodtype....ageHistory=cat they also have some camber stuff and aluminum lower control arms. all tein stuff is really good stuff well worth the price

 

i herd coilovers give you "rice bounce" or is that only when you put them on a stock suspention, or what?

 

The only ones i seen on that site are like 850, im i just not seeing them or what??

 

i know the coilover sleeves are bouncy as hell but the all in one coilovers are great as ive heard!!
