Coil Over Or Suspension

[BiLL|z0r]

Get coilovers and do it properly the first time.
This way if your 20's scrape a little you can raise it a few mm. Coilovers are more comfortable too. Why ruin an expensive nice car with cheap saggy springs.

anybody know a good shock setup for use with s-tech?

I had a set of s-tech ready to install, and the best match for me was Koni yellows, but after pricing them & 1K+, I sold the s-tech and installed tein ss coilovers for under $1500 all up.

At least now I have height + damping adjustment....

I'll be selling my Koni yellow shocks + eibach springs in July, so be ready to pick up a bargain.

On the USA forums like TSXClub and Acurazine they often mention "A Spec" suspension that gives improved handling with just a small drop as well.
Does anyone know if that "A Spec" set up is available here either thru Honda or elsewhere?
Thanks

The only person on Ozhonda that i know to have the A-spec setup was Yfin. I think it drops the car by roughly 25-30mm. Im pretty sure he had to ship it over from overseas.
If i were u, i'd just get myself a nice set of adjustable coilovers like Tein SS which is adjustable so u can play around with the settings according to your preferences. Cost wise plus shipping etc, i would imagine it to be roughly the same

Get them second hand! That will save you quite a lot of cash

Yfin had Honda A-spec. Not Acura A-spec. There were slight differences I think.

coil overs = coil over the dampers.

simply put, smaller cars run coils, with dampers seperate to each other. i.e Honda Jazz.

For your case, it really depends on what sort of ride you wish to achieve. If you are not going to lower the car much, regular lowered springs (Pedders, King) will do.

With aftermarket adjustable coilovers, you get the benefit of adjusting to your preferred height and damping force. As well as reducing a blow out of the OEM shocks.
