    coilovers in general dont suck if you but full coilovers that are of good quality. i know in the maxima world tein ss and megans are great coilovers.

    in teh teg/civic world, there are teins, d2s, skunk 2, and whatever anyone else chimes in with.

    if your only looking for a one inch drop, just get some springs. They ride a lot better then coilovers

    With any coilover you have to get a decent strut. Most of the time it's the springrate that most people say "suck" Coilovers usually have a higher springrate since they do have to go from 1" to 4" drop on occasion. If you are going to get the dropzones then either replace the spring with a softer or get some quality struts such as KYB, Tockico or some Koni's. But if you are only going 1 inch then just get some Eibach or Neuspeed Sports.

    If you put any coil-over sleeve & spring on a stock shock it's going to ride like crap.

    eBay coil-over sleeve + eibach spring = Ground Control

    Don't do the Tein S-Techs, they are as soft as stock. They call them the "Dress-up Master" kit for a reason.

    Fresh Koni Yellows with an eibach spring is one of the best budget kits you can get, far better than a comparable priced coil-over dampener.
