Em1 civic roll call!!

[Alvis]

I'm using Koni yellow adjustable shocks with Eibach pro kit. Great for the street, awesome comfort/handling compromise, spot on really. I recommend Koni Yellows with your choice of spring.

Most people will say go coilovers, but in reality a good spring/shock combo beats cheap coilovers hands down. Coilovers are crap on the street, unstable and harsh..... but good on the track and will let you drop it real low.

Depends if you want a racecar or a streetcar. You can't practically have both.

+1 on this. Coilovers tend to be too 'bumpy' on the street IMO given how sh#t the roads are in NSW - especially where I live anyway - a good quality shock/spring combo can work really well.

I've heard really good things from everyone who has had Koni yellows. I'll have to do some research into these when it's time to replace my shocks...

This review pretty much sums up the difference between shock/spring and coilovers for the street:

Just seems like every second person is on coilovers these days! Maybe it's the easy option.. who knows...
