Default Suspension kit

The only thing i am looking to change (preformance) on my cvic is my suspension kit. Im not into speed but just a comfortable ride.I was wondering if theres a suspension kit that has good shock absorbers for a comfortable ride and has good loweing springs to go with it.

Nothing too extreme, around up to £400 Can anyone recommend any? thanks

Tokico HPK, costs around $350-400 and feels more comfy than stock, about 2" lower, and handle's a little better. Normally I wouldn't recomend this setup (I have it) because it's a little bit too soft for the performance oriented, but for a DD, it's perfect. I have 17's and it's still a very comfortable ride.

I have that kit as well, and while it doesn't hold up compared to koni's and ground controls or anything like that, it is better than stock and decent for a daily driven car that you don't want to lose any comfortability. If you want to tighten up the feel of your car, sway bars make a huge difference as well.

Just go to Ebay and search Tokico struts/shocks or HP and you'll find a bunch of different sellers, just find the cheapest one + shipping with the best rating. I bought my set from a friend locally for $300 new, they usually go for around $350 on ebay new, or you could go the extra mile and get the illumina's, they're around $450 with springs I think. Do a search and let us know what you find! Good luck!

If you're going to buy illumina's, just save another 50 bucks and get koni's, it's worth your time.
