Hi guys.
Im thinking about getting new Coilovers for my Civic.
Just wondering if anyone has had experiences with any of these brands
and weather or not they've had problems with it.

Im planning on doing stance or atleast going pretty low.
So i want something with good amount of Height adjustments.
Doesnt bother me if its too stiff and whatnot.

My Budget is $1,300. $1,500 is pushing it.
If you have any other brands you would recommend it would be appreciated

Thanks

I would go for koni shocks as they offer significantly more damping adjustability and longevity than either of those, and a set of ground control springs if you insist on height adjustability. This can be had for 1.2k.

what's wrong with your coilovers that you're trying to sell?

I've heard good things about BC BR aswell and heard alot about Ksport but my friend distributes parts for Megan Racing and he can get me a set within a week.
So im not sure :S

I think its easier buying coilovers as a complete package other than buying Koni shocks and then getting ground control Springs.
Because an FD civic is very hard to find parts for. I have looked into it and i wanted that set up but it was too much of a hassle.

The coilovers im selling doesnt go low in the rear for some reason. "its the lowest it can go" says the guy that did my height adjustments.
And so far the car is 170mm off the ground. Is there any other way to make it go lower without having to change stuff and put more money into it?

Probably is easer to get the 'whole set' but if it's easier to put a spring and shock together than it is to pull the coilovers out of the car twice (since the bc's will last half as long)

Is your name josh by any chance? We've been talking on facebook for a while now haha
Im Bao Nguyen and you were suppose to do my coilovers but had to cancel due to the weather.
BUT the coilovers i have in atm arent good and getting sold. How much do you charge to take out coilovers
and install stock shocks and springs?

Does H.Drive go low? My brother wants to car to be atleast 120-130mm from the body -.-

Personally wouldn't even go near Megan Racing stuff...

Just check around for issues relating to the products, some cases are user but others definitely aren't...

Before you go, you get what you pay for, try considering how long it may last and if you spent a few more hundred what you get ;)

As for BC, they're widely used as the choice of budget coilovers so doubt you have issues except ride/comfort quality depending on your tolerance and preference.

What about Buddy Club N1+. I know Buddy Club is a very popular brand in Japan but I've never had coilovers from them
And i heard they arent too expensive aswell
