Look in the TRADERS section for links to coilver setups.

Tein SS , cusco zero 1 etc are good setups to start with...aim for $1200-$1500 delivered. Check it out

no offense, but i only trust jap suspensions. d2 is a taiwanese brand. a few friends had taiwan sussies on their cars b4, and most of them changed it within a year. (leak, noisy or just not firm enough). thus i would never bother looking at taiwanese suspensions. yes they are cheap, but would'nt you rather save a lil bit longer and buy something better. also, jap suspensions can sell heaps easier and fetch a higher price compared to taiwan made suspension. my 2 cents, hope this helps. (no offense to those using taiwan suspension, these are my own personal thoughts.) just trying to help a fellow oz member

I own a 89 Generation 2 CRX and have are thinking of buying Koni Yellow fully adjustable susp.

They cos $450 a pair if you can do it yourself. Or $1400 fitted.

THey come with three ride height settings but for $70 a pair Koni can add as many ride heights as you wish. (they put it through a metal lathe)

Anyway yeah I cant affot Tiens (the obvious choice) so yeah, Koni Yellows all the way for me thanks.

I got koni coilovers. Feels good, but probably will change the springs later down the track. The springs with the coilovers are quite soft and doesn't really provide a real big drop.

hey i have fulcrum coilovers in my Ek hatch they have king springs in them but they are a good street/track supension stiff when you press down on your car but the ride is the best i have ever rode in highly reccomend fulcrum coilovers also not that expensive roughly $1800 but worth every cent otherwise i would have got whiteline think about it they do specilise in everything to do with suspension.

my $0.02cents on my suspension.

cheers,

Ive got Tein Ha on my lude
and it improve on handling so much, but it took me atleast a week to get the right height and dampering for my everyday drive

u get less body roll, when taking off your car doesnt seem to pull back bcuz the suspension help keep the tyres down and with more grip
