Thanks for the replies black8thgen, curtis and duffy!
So what you guys are saying is, the koni/gc is much better value, but if I want to go for the stanced look and avoid scrubbing everywhere, I'm going to need coils with a higher spring rate?

For street use, koni/gc is sufficient and cost-effective. If you are looking to go down the coil route, invest in something with good adjustability and choose a good spring rate.
Have you got a set of rims in mind or already put on at the moment?
Can someone please confirm if the koni/gc setup will be able to lower my car to the ride height that I'm after (ie. 10cm off ground)?Quote:

Btw do you have any recommendations for coilovers? I've read that TEIN SS or Buddyclub N+ are good ones for the FD.
No, you won't get that low with them.Quote:

Buddyclub N+ ride very nicely and will certainly get you as low as you want. And have reasonable spring rates with height and damper adjustability.
I personally am trying to go the other way. The TypeR is WAAAYYY to hard for daily driving factory. So they are the track suspension and I am looking for some smooth and slightly lower daily suspension.
The guys on the US forum (8thcivic) have nothing negative to say about the Buddyclubs, but I've read a few more "enthusiast" comments say there is better that can be bought in the same price bracket.Quote:
