Use the search function, we have discussed almost every model of coilovers for the Euro before, except for Toda Fightex.

that should start you off. i just pressed coilovers and euro honda.

buddyclub is popular for track, and i rekon i would use tien SS obviously for street.

you wanna track it or street driving . if for street driving you may want to look at tien lowering springs.

LOL,
i've got the monoflex, and as i said TODA would cost an arm and a leg.

TODA type DA your looking around $3000+ maybe even $4k VS Tein MFP ($2700 was when i got them with EDFC + the motorkit)

I have got the TODA Fightex DA suspensions. Cost me about $2500 shipped. Install and adjust $500.

Not that expensive. a bit too hard on street, even I set it to softest level. F8K and R6K springs.

8kg/mm and 6kg/mm is actually quite soft!

but it also related to the shock absorber damping ratio that actual absorbing the bound and rebound force and shorten the damping cycles time. the stock ratio which takes longer time to settle down. I believe that different brand have different damping ratio, which I don't know how to chose a good one. I just get a famous brand suspension. I try F10K and R8K before.

Anyone know what is the factory springs rate on CL9? Thanks

When you install coilover do the coilovers then replace the standard shocks in the car. Like after in install my coilovers they will remove old shocks and all that wont they ?

coilovers = shocks + springs together on one assembly.

So yes they will remove stock springs + shocks.

do you want comfort, pure performance or bit of both worlds?
also do you want adjustability in height and dampening?
