I'm need to make a decision on which coilovers to buy, I have only been able to find a few reviews on the following items, so I would love some input. I will be getting back into autox when I get home, lots of it.I'm also going to be selling the 17" wheels that are on the car and buying 15's or 16's. Oh and just wondering, would there be a real difference between the Tein Flex Coilvers and the Tein SS Coilovers? Thanks..

These are my choices:

Skunk2 Pro-Series Full Coilovers
Tein Super Street Coilovers
Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers

 

koni sports are a far better damper than anything you listed above; those paired with a set of ground control sleeves are basically the setup of choice for the honda autocross crew. do some research, you'll find plenty of other people who will tell you the same thing. the performance can't be beat for the price.

 

Ok thanks, Ill look into those...

 

Ok these look good, just need to find some control arms now

 

ksports unless you want to spend a ton of cash and bust some knuckles.

 

what are you trying to get out of a set of control arms? OEM with new polyurethane bushings will probably be sufficient, unless you want the "bling" of some anodized aluminum.


p.s., here's some real data on shock performance. kinda over-the-top for most people but still good info. http://www.wincom.net/trog/autocross_secrets6.html

 

OMG that was awesome, thanks for the link

 

yea dude i think you will be really happy with the konis and ground controls. and they dont really ride that rough with the setting the softest.

 

the car is driving with 13 year old suspension. Also one of the control arms is bent a little and dented. I just bought the car about 3 weeks ago... and thanks for the info page.
