Adjustable Coilovers for a EK, whats best??

[allstylemotorsports]

Hi All,

I currently have 19" x 8" Wheels on my Honda Civic EK Sedan with stock suspension and now need adjustable coilovers as I would like to lower my car slightly and have the possibility of adjusting the height when required.

I also require it to be able to adjust the stiffness so it does not bounce as I get rubbing on speed humps, would the coilovers assist with this issue?

What adjustable coilovers would you suggest for my car?

Budget is about 1g.

Thanks,
Tom

You wont get F all for 1g, maybe a 2nd hand set of tein flex or super street for that. Since your not after performance just get something cheap, i mean your car it its current state is not ment for cornering hard so just get something cheap with high springrate so its nice a stiff. 12f 8r should be good for you.

d2's on ebay go for about 1k.

Get a decent cond 2nd hand set man. its will be nicer than the crap brand new set. well thats my 2 cents

Thanks guys for your help.

I am now deciding whether to get a good condition second hand set of Tein's or a brand new set of d2's for around 1g.

What you guys think??

2nd hand Tien's forsure.Just make sure you check them thoroughly for leaks,cracks etc.Preferably with low km's.I just wen't trough this.
btw how's the ride on 19"'s? Damn,I thought my old 17"'s were big.

19's are a lot heavier for sure and the ride isnt as good but thats expected but I like them anyways lol.

i would go buddyclub n+ over tien ss anyday.

tien ss dont even go that low and they are not seperate height adjustment so you loose preload as you lower the car.

Thanks for that guys.

I have PM'd the guy for the buddyclubs to see what he can offer.
