P.S What's wrong with the GC coilovers? At first I wanted to go TeinSS-P but a lot more people on here seemed to agree that Koni Yellows and GC coilovers is the ultimate setup.
Tein Basics are alright. Tein SS are better. I still LOVE my Konis, though.
If you had the car aligned 2 weeks ago and you plan on lowering it, you just wasted your money. You HAVE to align it AFTER lowering, or you'll destroy your tires.
Plan on getting a camber kit as well. The TASauto upper control arms are amazing (ingalls ball joints, poly bushings... fantastic... I love mine)

The guy at the alignment center was telling me about how he couldn't do a proper alignment because of a .5 degrees difference at the front cambers unless I get adjustable ball joints. Now... with a camber kit... can it be adjusted without the ball joints? Basically I just thought getting the shocks and coilovers and installing them would do the thing and I need nothing else besides an alignment so what's the deal. What do I really need?wat?

i was once young too,and i did all the stupid things you could do to a suspension. my cb i had burnt springs at one time. that sucked. you would think i would learn but then i got a eg coupe , i cut the springs, it was ok but not great. but now i matured (sike) and i finally learned.now i have a civic sedan. it had the worst suspension i have EVER seen. Slammed with burnt springs in the front and ebay coilovers in the back.can u imagine that.i last a week with that. i was in fear for my life. now im riding in kyb shocks and tein springs.really nice .
moral of the story is dont get cheap with your suspension.
