If your looking for springs..
there are: Progress, Eibach
coilovers: Skunk2, Ground Controle,
there are tons more but those are off the top of my head.

what 90civicrider said hehe

as for shocks, i'm a big fan of toicko adjustable and non-adjustable shocks. Then Koni makes their usual kill adjustables. And if your on a budget KYB also makes adjustable and non-adjustable shocks for our cars. I'd say get the toicko's my experience with them has just been great. As for getting adjustable or non-adjustable just depends if you intend on doing any racing (adjustables) or just having a fun car to drive (non-adjust.) If your looking for good stock feelin setup i'd say eibach prokit springs with non adjustables. And if you intend to go racing more than a few times get adjustables with like the progress springs those are very nice.

and the rule of thumb....DO NOT GET AROSPEED!!!

Two words for struts:
Auto Zone
They sell bilstin struts which I like a lot. The best part is that they only cost about $100 each.
For springs I have progess springs that I am happy with for only costing $150.

Someone said weapon-r's give a great ride quality and almost zero body roll. Other than that ground controls would be nice.

I'd have to say that the weapon r's cut down on body roll a little bit, but combined with my tokico blues, the ride is a lil bouncy, which might be because of my N/A shocks. but oh well, i got a great deal when i got them

*88ReX*

Yea I ment autocrossing or road racing take your pick. I just didn't know what you did with your car thats why i threw that out there. Yea for just having some fun on road and drag racing get standard performance shocks you'll be just fine.

As for anyone wonder about the weapon R coilovers. Well they are better than arospeeds at least hehe. Actaully if you have good shocks and balance the weapon R's right they will treat you good i've know 1 or 2 people that have been quite happy on them. I think they are always gonna be a bit on the bouncy side but nothing i would worry about. However for the money i think i'd just make the jump to ground control coilovers.

I wouldn't touch them. My rule of thumb when it comes to suspension parts, is you get what you pay for.

Cheap parts = shitty ride.

Believe me I would love to only pay $70 for a set of good coiloivers, but I don't think that will happen.

I can put together a crazy package with Progess Springs, Progress Shocks, Progress sway bars.. But that one will be VERY pricy. The progress shocks are really expensive.

If you want an afordable package i can do Tokico Shocks, Progress Springs, Progress sway bars.

I'll get you a price when i get home from school today.

Skynex: Well I bought the cheap ebay springs, and suprisingly they are very good quality. They were manufactured by A+ performance and when my friend saw them who has a teg he said they were better than his coilovers due to certain things that are hard to explain .
