hey dudes
now..l'm aware there are coilovers that adj heights, dampoer,. rebound..camber...blah blah

but what l'm look for is strictly height adj.

I no of a guy who is selling his Tiens.

But they will only fit a CRX so I'm not sure if it will fit your car.

Tiens kick ass

only reason behind that would be price.

Coilover sleeves retail for what sumwhere ard 400-600. Where as a good set of coilovers can get close 2K

If you dun speed with the sleeves then its all good

i just installed coilover sleeves today, including installation, it cost be 600, if height adjustment is all your after then coilovers does the job, its better then paying 400 bucks for lowered springs including fitting.

If you want height and damper adjustable then just get koni yellows...they seem to be a BFYB type shocks! Assuming you don't want to take it to full coilovers type setup.

is it worth just getting these on the front? (cars sitting too low now)

Or better off on all four? also whats the best coils i could get on a semi-budget?

Sorry to hijack dude, but i've been thinking this myself.

fully adjustable systems like D2, Tein, Koni's will cost you $1900+. Which you'll get a lot of difference. Otherwise coilovers themselves like the skunk2 are much cheaper, but they don't feel good.

Recommendation: If you have the money get fully adjustable suspension.

If only Tein release their super sports suspension here in Oz :cry:

All coilover setups are height adjustable.

Struts/shocks don't have adjustable height the springs or coilovers do that.

struts/shocks = koni yellow

coilover sleave = ground control with rates for your car.

Dont bother with any other coilover sleave, the ones on ebay are crap.
