I have used these before, and they ride super great !!!

for the price you can not beat it with a stick

[EJdm]

anyone else???

[ducky1177]

never rode them but great price

[EJdm]

yea i know looks and sounds good...

[KevinT707]

A little bit cheaper than KSport and they look the same except different color. I say go for it. I'm sure most coilovers are made in the same factories in China anyway ..

[Drummerboy]

I'd say go for it. ASE*Tech knows his stuff. My rule of thumb is "if ASE says its good, its good."

[EJdm]

for dd would these spring rate be okay/good??? wouldnt its be better to have higher rate in the the back???

[civicturbo10]

at that price buy them and let us know..

[EJdm]

lol idk been thinking a lot lately dont want to spend 500 on it and mess up in a few months...

Plus thats a huge difference between front and rear. Now im not sure what coilover kits are like for FWD but it just seems really stiff

[bloodline]

never tried any of those to be honest..just remember you get what you pay for..and sometimes it doesnt hurt to spend a little more for something that is reliable..
not trying to discourage you or anything..just speaking from experiance..
after getting sick of a bouncey suspension..i scrap my coilover sleeves and spent a little extra for some tien basics..

[EJdm]

how do you like the teins??? i was just wondering about them because i got a stock da and was looking to lower it on some new struts....and just came across these...i might just go with the kyb agx/eibach or h&r....

[bloodline]

to be honest..i love the teins, they ride great..not to stiff and bouncey at as skunk2 full coilovers.. i got lucky and got my teins for 450.

you could always mix and match springs wit some good shocks but gotta keep in mind that those componentes are made to work together so just make sure your doin your research on the spring rates and so on..

look into function form suspensions i know a couple of ppl that have them and heard nothing but good things about them

[oneSLOWex]

Lookup THmotorsports on honda-tech.... Koni Yellow/GC with custom spring rates for my car shipped for $799 (probably what im ordering soon as I figure out my living situation next month.

[EJdm]

yea i heard good stuff for function form but never looked into it b4..the koni/GC are pretty popular on honda tech LOL....i looked into the function forms...i dont really want to spend like 700+ on a set of coilovers because its only my DD...something nice and sits low with out the bumps lol....i had the kyb agx/teins on my civic and i liked them...

If you want the ride quality you gotta spend the money. That combo is popular pretty much anywhere...I spent hours the other night reading up on other people setups. I read where atleast 2 people got rid of their GC/Koni combo for Tein with EDFC and regretted it. Shits almost double the price too which really surprised me. The cheap F&F setup does not have adjustable dampers though. The Koni's also have a lifetime warranty.

[EJdm]

Tein with EDFC and regretted WOW...but yea the F&F are a bit reasonable LOL...bloodline have you had that set up b4 the F&F??? how are they??? i would get the GC/knoi but damn thats a arm and leg lol...but with taxes around the corner i'll try to convince the wifey LOL...

what car do you drive? The GC/Koni setup isnt much more than the cheap F&F.

[EJdm]

DA...knoi 500, GC 200....700+

[oneSLOWex]

DA...knoi 500, GC 200....700+

630 for the F&F on weaksauce for your car...not a bad deal but also not much cheaper. Just make sure you do your homework...I have read SO many times where people wish they had not got what they did.

[EJdm]

lol i know im reading and searching for the GC/knoi...thanks guys for the help

[EJdm]

i didnt no the knoi were lifetime warranty???? i had the knoi/progressive set up on my wife car awhile back when i was younger and knew nothing about car yet...one blew and i threw them away and replaced it with stock struts...
