VIS V-Spec Verion 2.0 Coilover Kit

Hi,
I was woundering are these coilovers any good??? how is the ride compared to ground control? i mainly want to lower my car for looks and some occasional street racing. A friend of mine told me that i should go with Ground COntrol coilover sleeves with Konig Yellows. Is there anyother setup that will be suitable for regular normal daily driving but still handles well on turns?? I was also thinking about APEXi but it cost so much more. around $1200. I am looking to spend somewhere around $700-800 for my suspension. The cheaper the better. :smoker: anyway. thanks again.

H&R threaded body shocks with springs for 850$ and you get a great combo tuned for eachother, unlike the GCs or other sleeves.

H&R Suspension

hi dezoris,
I've checked the application guide on the H&R website.
I have a question on these numbers

Civic 2001-up not 4-dr EX (front)1.2 - 2.2 (rear).75 - 1.6

Does it mean that i can only adjust the hieght from 1.2" to 2.2"drop in the front and .75 to 1.6" drop in the rear? so there is no chance where i can bring it back to factory hieght??

Thanks again

Any suspension that using lowering springs and shorter shock rods means you will never be able to return to stock height even with threaded body shocks, you can get close.

This is not unusual.
Actually if you can get within an inch you are doing good.
