Planning on buying new suspension!

CLICK

You can get basically a couple of them. But not all is compatible with the EDFC.
I'd say stick with the SS's for street use.
The flex are good but will drive you insane for daily use. Unless you are tracking the car there isn't much need for the flex.

you fail at reading comprehension XP

i was talking about Megan Racing not having full kits for 96-00 civics...

Have you considered Bilsteins?
Heard they are quite nice also.

Teins rust pretty fast..........n yes I know EDFC is an option I'm just sayin u won't have that luxury, but yah I dun have my car mags anymore cuz I moved so I can't tell u what brand those were

Why I say no to teins is only becuz they get rusty pretty fast compared to other brands.....

^But the teins are also a manual adjustment? So you have just contradicted your previous point.
Please stop talking to avoid further embarrassment.

T_T i'm lost. who are you talking to, carmen >_<

All better? =P

much =D

but ya.... i think the only non-overhyped teins are the HR?

i dunno, i've never used tein, only JIC for coils.

well u can try buddy club USA or eibach springs or toda racing USA

I don't know Civic so I don't know what to suggest...
So basically this post is just to post whore...AHHAHA

Ever tried Spoon coils?
I had those on my Integra and they were great.
Better than always sticking with the same ones, try new things in life!

These things kills comfort on the street... jon doesn't track so there's no point of these...

to minix3, try to stop starting arguements on the forum anywhere else besides the fc...
like it's pretty annoying to see posts like these sumtimes...
the guy just wants suspensions for his goddamn Civic, so either give your suggestions or just stfu...
jeez... like it's pretty pointless for you non-honda drivers telling honda drivers what to use anyways..
not trying to be an ass but that's just sumthing i would like to point out...
so either give your suggestions or say out of it...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
aniwaise jon, i think you should just go for the T1Rs,
the T1R's are great both street and also tracking.
and in comparison from my own experience they're the best so far.
T1R>Buddyclub>Tein
dun even think about the spoon's... they're too rough on street...
and besides you drive like a granny so yeah
From my racing experiences against the Tien coil'ed dc2's they dun make it close to me thru truns.
maybe it's just a honda thing honda x tein is bad... imo

If you read my first posts in this thread rather than just the last one I was giving suggestions and even providing links and other information such as that flex is being discontinued and rather stiff, consider trying Bilsteins and stick with the SS.
Just because I don't drive a Honda currently doesn't mean that I am clueless about what should be used.
Also considering I use to drive around a DC2R, Accord Euro and an EK civic.

HEY! i only drive like a granny cuz i don't trust what's left on my car. i still have quite a few things to repair and replace to make my car a more reliable machine to push.

but anyways, T1R's... i'll ask leslie about it.

Yah T1Rs is also a good idea,
See what I meant about Teins is that
Because of their cute mascot, and their EDFC convenience system, Teins are over-rated.....or over hyped....
I'm sure they make decent Race ones, but their softer shit is really...... Shit.......
And main point is they rust easily which is another reason why I dun really like em.....

according to leslie, T1R doesn't make anything that is semi-street like the tein ss :/

i realise that tein's rust easily haha, i own them right now! thats why i will have my friends EF to drive in the winter lol.

haha well I was reading and I do know what's going on in my forum, I never said u weren't giving out suggestions.
just saying that's all you should be doing so either do it or stfu. that's all``
well, I believe your driving with the Honda cars weren't really taking it to my level of kinda driving...
since u said drive around, I guess I'll take it that way.
so yeah not trying be all this and that but yeah,
I wouldn't really argue with me on technical information based on honda cars if i were u.
I do work with them for many many years.
besides this guy's my cousin, I can highly suggests equipment for him judging on this driving styles.

Actually Leslie is wrong on this one.

T1R B-Max 52 Damper - Honda Civic 96-00 (EK)

Comfort and Performance normally is not a combination you can find from most of the suspension available the market.
T1R offers 46mm piston MONOTUBE design for super wide range dampening ranges for street and track.
36 way compression and rebound adjustable.
Ride height and stroke adjustable for extreme lowering.
CNC machined chromoly steel body with all CNC machined forged aluminum perches and adjust brackets.
All kits come with adjustable wrenches and necessity hardware.
Price: CAD $1,599.00 (USD $1,599.00)

like i've previously stated these are by far the best I've used on my teg.
none the less, the 1,600 looks over your budget. yet it can be fixed.
if leslie can't get you a good deal just find me. alright?
just go for these, you can't go wrong with them

i dunno about civics, but for fc there are 2 sets

Street (8k/6k)
Track (12k/10k)

what year is the EK9? (no idea about anything to do with civics lol)

haha that's a good setup u have there.
from my experience my favourite is still F16K R14K on the DC2

Bilstien PSS9 or 10s
Koni coils do well too
i run Koni Yellows tho..
ahahha

for me
if im not ever gonna track the car, im not gonna buy coils

to really get into ALL OF YOUR FACES

it wouldnt really matter if ur buying T1R or Tein or Spoon or Buddy Club or whatever...

if you arnt even going to track a car...then the coilovers arnt being put to the test

ya i plan on doing AutoX plus track days, as well as it being a DD.

so i am unsure of getting the street or track. cause from what i've heard, the 8k/6k combo works the best for FC, as it gets sketchy if you go too hard.

yeah it's good enough even for track i say``

ya, plus they should be a bit cheaper too i think. was thinking about maybe getting JIC again...

yeah $1600 is way past my budget. i'm not willing to spend that kind of money right now anyways... and i swear these old ass teins are gonna blow soon-ish. the t1r's look nice though, i'll admit that haha. i still like the idea of matching tein ss and hood damper, you gotta admit thats hawt.

hood dampener = rice =p

Haha Morgan, remember all the rice jokes I use to use on Diggy =P

^ pwnt

I need a set of those hood dampers too... it's really bad without them with hood up all day at DTP``

bad for what? =o

chris' cf hood is super light weight and therefore, super flimsy. so when its propped up, the opposing side basically dangles and slowly will mishape the hood. solution? hood dampers!
