Shocks or Coilovers?

[lil4civ]

I'm getting some lowered kings springs put in this weekend, (already put a deposit down), but am now thinking that i should get shocks for better comfort.. Everyone is saying for the price of shocks and springs, its better to save up and get coilover's instead. Are coilover that much better then shocks and springs combo? or should i just stick with getting shocks? Have a honda civic sedan 99 model and its used for everyday driving..

It depends ...

For myself, on the street I use Koni yellow's with ITR springs.
Very comfortable - Didn't bother with coilovers as I didn't want the fuss
of needing to check and tightening the perches every now and then.

On the track, thats a different story
I will be using Toda Fightex very shortly. :-D

You don't really need "coilovers" for every day driving, a spring/shock combo will be fine. I've got Koni yellows too, I'd recommend them for daily driving.

I use ITR shocks and springs, great ride for the street. Bit soft for smooth tracks.

Hardest setting on the Konis? Man, how do you even steer?

koni adj. shocks /itr springs are perfect for street/ light track work.

What is the price range on the shocks you guys have? Yeah won't be doing any track driving. By the way what are ITR shocks? never heard of them.

I ahve koni yellows on my slow accord. On the hardest setting, i blew both my headlight bulbs - they were 2 mth old $90 polarg B1s as well.

and everytime i went over a speed hump, it seemed as if my spine would compress. i now have it on the softest.

I would prefer coilovers - I've gone through 3 sets of springs trying to get teh right height. its still not right, but close enough. I cannot justify spending anymore $$ on suspension. If only I had gotten coils from day one.
