FD1 Coilovers

[freshert]

Hey guys, ive got a FD1 civic and i'm looking for some coilovers for daily street use. hate it how my car feels like a boat around corners. my car has stock 15" alloys and im wanting to improve the cars handling and reduce the ridiculous amount of understeer im getting atm.

I've been searching around the forum and internet for a while and im finding it pretty difficult to find some good info. I have a budget of about 1.5k.

I'm thinking of going with the BC BR racing coilover kit from http://www.iapdirect.com/product.php?productid=42435

Any advice or tips?

get tanabe coilovers from jdmconcept, theyre around 1.5k and awesome coils

I'm currently using tanabe coilovers, so far so good :)

only problem is theyre too soft for like full on track settings

and if ur really low with wide rims/low offset u may have some issues if u got full load going over bumps n stuff lol cos the spring rate sags a bit

but overall great coils n good price =]. japanese brand as well

if i recall correctly BC's only 6k front and rear? so maybe not a great option if u don't want it to feel like a boat

my cusco's have been great for ride.

would go tanabe / cusco over bc.

tanabe is only like 4300 spring rate i think lol.. really soft.. but nevertheless good coils for the price

Tanabe's are better for street/daily use rather than track, so if you want something for the daily, check em out.
