Default what coilovers....

I just got my new rims, 16 inch Enkei RSF2's, and am ready to get going on modding my car.

I figure the next logical step is suspension, I want a nice, adjustable full setup, preferably under a grand, and I wanna pickup some strut bars while I'm at it. All this for a 96 EX coupe...

Any advice for a kit that handles tight, and will cut down on the huge amount of body roll I deal with now will be much appreciated....

go with tein !!!...you can get somthing like the SS coils 16 way adjustable, which are more for track riding and are just under 1000.00 or somthing like the basic coils which are for street driving which are like 800

check out this web site for the list and pricing of all the tein suspention products

you could also get like a Tein full suspension which 600 bucks shipped on ebay and then get a suspension techniques sway bars front and back for like 340 bucks and a front camber kit and you will have a REALLY nice suspension under your car

you may want to do some research before you go and by coilovers. in my experience the coilover would only work with a stock offset rim. so if you bought rims with a different offset you may want to ensure a coilover will fit before you go and buy them. and if my vote counts at all, i always run JIC FLT A2s, i have them on both my MR2s and i also have them on my EG hatchback.

as for brakes i am sure there are lots of options out there. i went with 02 JDM Integra Type R calipers (basically the same as the USDM RSX type S but I dont think they offer these calipes here in the US). they are 4 pot brembos that are straight bolt-ons, they are very slick! but they wont fit a 16" rim soooo.........

v/r,
steven
