i just wanna see some good examples of suspensions on others' car, i dont really kno what suspensions i wanna get, but i'm thinking about a medium drop, not to low, not too high,and i want a smooth ride too, what would be your opinion for a 99' ex coupe?
what would be the best for handling, and what other parts are there to help improve handling! thanx

Tokico HP you can get the spring/strut kit on ebay for around $300-350. Its what I got, when I put it on, I will post pics, but I think you would be happy with that setup from what I hear.

I'm a big fan of the H&R Sport spring and KYB AGX combo. I have it, it was a 1.75" front and 1.5" rear drop, and handles awesome. This is on an integra though, so I don't know how much the civic springs drop.

yeah the rates vary a bit being your car is a bit heavier the drop might be .25 lower than on a civic.. no biggie.
and Bo, they're still riding cool, also take into consideration that i work in San Francisco and of course hit potholes and deal with speedbumps daily..takes about a month or two for them to really stiffen up though after installed. |
