whats ur budget
how low will ur insurance let you go
do you care about insurance companies
otherwise get Buddy Clubs, cheap and decent, apart from not being able to be rebuilt
otherwise Tiens from Fulcrum
or Koni Yellow struts with King springs and get a rear sway bar fitted with ethier option, this is a street use guide, I don't give people advice for tracks, let's face how often does it happen
what tyres you running?
Tell us your budget then i may respond.
budget 2k-2.5k for a nice new system, dont get 2nd hand shit pls, not worth it
Fulcrum in Stafford is unreal, great work on northside
don't go to *******, I can say they're shit, they've work on a car of mine before and did a shit house job 3 times before paying Fulcrum to fix it all yrs ago, they're dick heads, managed by a complete tool of a man
A) wat car?
B) are u in syd?
98 civic hatch d16y4
budget - 1500 or about
Running 15's toyo r1's
(In brisbane)
You could probably go with a half decent coilover set for that price
Tiens would be close (if not a few hundred off)
Hell Trism (Matt) bought a full coilover and Camber kit from us ebay for that price DELIVERED
thats it aye... thing is you lose on currently cause shipping is a rought and also the aussie dollar is down so buyin gebay isnt all that good
Had to mention the shop, I want them under as do many others, they're a discrace, anyone who wants details please PM me and I will explain how "great" they are
Since that's ur budget, get Koni Yellows and some springs installed
coilovers are a touch out of the price, only just with shit house Aussie Dollar
also check out Bilenstein
Yo Ryan, u seem to have some rage lol. Pm me how good theyare please.Quote:

I paid too much for the labour at Jaxasses but under $1600, call up Fulcrum as they are a distributor/rebuilder of Koni and have great worksmanship, they helped us alot :)
If your going with Shocks Koni or Bilstein
You can get a good shock and spring combo from the above for close to your budget with a little $ left over (i think)
yeah i think ill look into the combos thanks for the help.
Thanks Ryan, ill be fitting my master cyl myself, fark that lets do it at the same tim i reckon.
any money left buy strut brace and a rear sway with A- Spec Racing brace later on, it's my olny suspension mod I have left... Bloody VTi-R having difference subframe is shit lol, my option was to buy it's subframe, cut mine out and weld it's one on and buy mounting brackets for the std sway bar I have, bout 1K to do that lol, so ASR brace ftw :)
If you have the time (I rarely do anymore, lol) do it yourself, it's dead easy with simple tools from Supercheap to fix anything on the CivicQuote:
