which struct/spring combo to get. please help

ok I've decided that the strut/spring combo on my car just ain't cutting it anymore. So i've decided I'm going to either replace the tokicos w/ koni yellows or replace the entire thing w/ tein ss or Apexi WS. so which should i do?

H&R sport w/ Koni yellow
or
Tein SS
or
Apexi WS

please let me know the differences between the 3 other than the obvious height adjustment.

personally i would go with the Koni set up cos i think Koni are the best make. But one thing........keep you're old setup in the garage somewhere so u can put it back on when you come to sell, cos having it modified will reduce the resale value significantly

As much as that Koni/H&R sport setup is stiff and racey as hell you have one problem with that Accord, I assume that is your Accord in the picture.

It is a hog and the weight distribution is horrible. If you are serious about tuning that suspension, then you want height adjustability the Tein is the best kit for the price, with multiple levels of adjustment the most adjustable shock of the bunch that comes close to a custom valving of the shocks. The shocks of this setup are the most advanced of the bunch, and the spring rates are about the same as the rest.

The Tein HA are a better value for about 100$ more, and come with more agressive spring rates and helper springs, which absorb the little turbulances, and keep the main springs working on controlling roll, and load bearing. The shocks will be up to any task, although most settings will be very firm.

You can corner weight your car with the WS and Tein, but for the price of all three, the Tein are by far the best and most scalable. You won't ever have to upgrade to something more racey. And as far as tuning, everything is there.

If you just want a bolt on stiffer ride and dont care about weight dist. etc, or controlling certain aspects of the car, and dont want alignment headaches then the Koni setup is the best.
