Koni yellows with Ground-Control springs would kill the coilovers and are higher quality too. Would be right around $1000-$1100 if you shop around. Select the rates you want too with the ground-controls.

I had Buddy Club Racing-Spec coilovers...and honestly, I wish I went with the Koni Yellow/GC set-up with 380/430 rates.

All these companies you mention make good products. But all of them have higher spring rates in the front in relation to the rear. I've been told that for an FF vehicle we need to stiffen up the rear in relation the front to eliminate understeering in the front heavy FF cars. So why do these performance suspension companies make spring rates with stiffer front than rears?

Whatever the spring rate is, I would still go for an adjustable shock. Just because if you want to soften up the ride a little for comfort that option is there. Then when you hit the track, you can turn it up to be harder. Adjustability not just for comfort, but also to adapt to different track conditions.

I hope this car is a track only car, not for the fact that the ride will suck with high rates, but because snow will fall in the next month and even at these temperatures, summer tires have ship grip.

either way, don't forget the alignment after install.

imported_Rich@OptionJDM

yeah make sure to get a good alignment after and have fun on the track.

1sykcoupe

I think the ride is fine so far

The reason most of these companies make lower rates in the rear is for stability. An inexperienced driver would not know that the stiffer the rear is, the higher the chance your back end will swing out of control, especially in braking around a turn. The inexperienced driver really does not know how to react to a rear that has broken loose. These are not race only suspensions, these can be purchased by anybody and are sold at a mass market price.

Like everyone else has said, congrats on the purchase 1sykcoupe, make sure you get a proper alignment.

imported_My93Civic

I have a question for you guys.

Where should I go for a pefect alignment after I get my coilovers installed.

All of you say make sure to get an alignment, but dont state where.

I've seen places do ****ty alignments, let alone Im not sure if they have the knowledge to tune a coilover system and give it proper needs.

I go to Dixon Alignment in Whitby, they aligned twice after my Tein install, because I changed the height after the first one They aligned both Cantonagod and Double_B as well.

imported_alwaysoverkill

look up alignment places near you on yellowpages, etc. You won't be able to get a "perfect" alignment without a camber kit, but have them set the toe at 0 and left/right equal. Depending how much you lower it, your probably looking at -2 degree's of camber.

For the rear you can do the "washer trick" (Search for it) but for the front either get a camber kit or just drive it. Negative camber does help cornering, but the sacrafice is that it may mean more tire wear.

these places do alignments. Honda is $80 I believe

I ran omni 8/10 just the basic ones.. At about a 1.5" drop. Handled OK, for the new car im going to be riding on koni/gc setup with the extended top hats.. The omni was good, my car was only ever used in straight lines though.

As for the PIC stuff, seems to be pretty cheap, you get what you pay for.

imported_FlashPoint-Matt

I got a set of TEIN full coil overs, $800 for them

Alignment is tailored for your style of driving. There is no such thing as "perfect alignment" but a good alignment for a specific occasion. Daily driving you would tend to go with zero toe and minimal camber to conserve tire use; racing spec. alignment (depending on type of racing) will obviously eat up your tires like nothing, but to get the best lap time, it is needed.

Which ever alignment shop you go, make sure you get a reading printed afterwards.

Wheel/Tire Zone is good to go.
