which coilover setup?
i'm looking into a different suspension setup. i'm looking for a setup that will give me a smooth ride, but can still take the corners pretty nice. i was hinking maybe some GC's with koni yellows or the progress suspension full coilover setup. what do you guys think?

in the long run, you'd be better off to save the extra pennies and buy the full strut/coilover setup. from what ive heard from a couple people, tein has a really good setup, and yes, the progress ones arep retty good too, not to mention (we'll when i last seen them) they are cheap., for the other way, I myself, have tokico illumina 5 way adjustibles with arospeed coilovers, and i have them on a faily stiff setting right now, but i love them, although, if it were me, id take my own advice and save for the real coilover/struts, but hey, I got a hell of a deal on these, so im not gonna complain.

I have Tein SS's myself on my ride. I have felt nothing yet to date better than them, not even the H&R full coilover setup on of my friend's has on his Civic. With the height adjustment, AND 16-way ride dampning comfort adjustability, the SS system just can't be beat, esp. for it's LOW price! I got mine for $850. Try finding a reputable (not like APC or Arospeed crap, but like Tanube, HKS, JIC, H&R) FULL coilover set up with 16, 20 or 24 way dampning ajustment on it for as good of a price, if not at least UNDER $1000. Simply put, you won't, for the price you'd pay for the G/C's and Yellows, that's about what you'd pay for a set of Tein SS's, maybe about $100 than the G/C setup. Good luck with it.

i have progress coil-overs and i love them. make sure that what ever you buy is rebuildable. that way if you ever blow one you aren't screwed. i also highly recomend a sway bar if you want to corner like a madman. my tires used to rub the fender wells when cornering agressivly but not after the sway bar install.

When I auto-x'ed a couple weeks ago, I couldn't have been more satisfied with the feel and balance of my ride. True it was only my first one, but it gave me a whole different outlook and feel of how my suspension handles. MUCH different than any of the local mountain roads can offer, that's for sure. But for the comfort and performance of them, even having ridden in G/C and Koni Yellow equipped cars, and even a car with the $1200 H&R coilover system, the Teins are the best feeling ones I've ridden on or felt.
