    Here are some "cheap" coilovers.

    The only problem is that the pics coils have no dampening adjustability, but the ksports are and I heard from someone you can get them for $600 on some sites. I think it's a good deal.

    Ksports are garbage. One of the CSCC guys had them on his '02 Civic coupe and the thing rode like a stagecoach. Whenever he pulled up anywhere, the car was visibly bouncy. The Ksports just couldn't handle the spring rates. He got rid of them and went GC/Koni Yellow.

    My friend rides K-sports in his Sentra there not really like that in his ride, just a sugestion. I've heard some good stuff about the pics though, not sure I think I'm going to go with the K-sports, or tein whichever I can get at a good price. Well what do you suggest?

    Koni yellows and Ground Controls are the best thing for the money if you want adjustability and longevity. Koni DOES build threaded body struts, but those get to be really expensive and you would need to know how you want them valved.

    I have a friend who bought Konis to replace his AGXs. Jeff has a 91 ZC swapped sedan, btw, that is driven in autocrosses and at NASA track events. He says the difference between the Konis and KYBs is very noticable.

    Tokico blues aren't too bad, but they are valved very similar to the stock Honda struts. We have blues and a no name coil over set up on the club's '88 CRX and they have held up ok. The car has only been driven at autocrosses for the past several years, however.

    You'll be OK with the blues. I've been rocking them for nearly 5 years on Skunk2 springs, which aren't exactly soft. They'll hold up, but there are better struts out there.
