not the best of quality.. well the ek ones were said to be like that..
how much they quote you?

did you look at the tein's, buddyclubs, cusco, jic magic, etc..?

i have a feeling the skunk2's are in the same league as the "it does the job" ones..

ehh im thinking of just using skunk2 lowered springs soon lol, no budget for coils, and most people say skunk2 springs are pretty reasonable for their price, or does anyone know otherwise?

hi guys, am new to this topic and need some advises. looking for a set of coilover for the civic sports, which mostly for street daily drive. capable with the stock 17" wheels or further 18" wheels upgrade, lowering and damper adjustable are prefered. heard about the tanabes sustec pro-nf and the mugen 50000-XKP-K0S0, but dunno if they will suit for daily driving, any recommendations? btw my buget is not over $1500.

**Stig** · 07-07-2009 01:32 AM

you are going to need more than 1500 if you dont want the tanabes

cusco zero gt goes for 2k

buddy club n+ goes for 2.5k

tein ss goes for 3k

skunk2 pro c ~2k

the basic skunk2 (pro-s) goes for ~1.3k, take a look at that, but you are going to need to use some of your oem suspension

tanabe sustecs are for 1.5k right?.. hmmm tempting lol. anyone got any experience with tein stech springs?

edit: also the gab ss coilover =>big $$ tho.. i wanted these

Thanks guys, but i saw a previous post on the d2 kit from Just Jap and the damper broken after 2 months, are they reliable? D2 or Tanabes is better for daily drive and having a better reputation? And do I need a camber kit or top mount extra when I change the coil? Btw can someone tell me the stock spring rate of our civic (the higher the rate, the stiffer the ride is?)? Sorry I’m reli new on this topic. Thanks for the help.

should come as a unit. some of the coilovers require you to use your OEM topmount.

**black8thgen** · 07-07-2009 11:05 AM

pretty sure u wont need any top mounts or anything, the coilovers should just go direct bolt on? i hope.. lol. johnny how much were ur tanabe sustecs?

**tkbuild** · 07-07-2009 11:19 AM

ne1 on the D2 or tanabe, any comments?
