Looking for a Decent Suspension

[jbwilliam]

I'm looking to get a decent suspension so I can lower my 99 civic dx coupe. I'm not trying to spend a couple thousand on it but I def. dont want to go the cheap way. I want something I know will last me a long as time without any problems. Any ideas?

Full coilovers can be bought for less than a grand. Also a spring and shock combo would be a couple hundred as well.

what exactly are all the parts I would need for it all. cause im looking to do my drum to rear disc conversion and i figured i might as well get all new brakes and do my suspension and try to lower my civic.

coilovers...go form and function, my frineds old civic had tokico blue shocks and skunk2 spings and that was a great set up just to lower it and DD didnt race or anything

 

[jbwilliam]

i might just spend a grand on a whole coilover kit and do it the right way. thanks

form and function type ones are like 600 not even...check out Mengmotorsports, they are on here and will give a pretty good deal, im going with them once i get 600

I have tokicos with eibach springs and it rides like OEM.

go coilovers.. even though for my daily s-techs and tokicos ride like a cloud, but the inability to adjust pisses me off at times.. like the winter

Yes I have the blue tokicos with the eibach sportline springs with blackworks LCA's as well on my 99 ex coupe.

^This.

I got my function and form type I from meng motorsports as well.. $595 shipped to my door. Threw them on and love the ride.. still got pleeeeeeeeeeeenty of room to drop lower, but my roads suck and I don't feel like ruining my new exhaust.
Here's two shots.

Another shot... you can clearly see, there's PLENTY of room to slam it more.

Yeah go with F&Fs. The types ones are awesome, and the price is great also! I love mine. I got my for 630 shipped with free blox lca's!

just got my F&F type 1's and threw em on. i love the ride and civ hatch 92 is right they have so much room if you wanna slam em but my roads suck to. i paid 579 from jhpusa with 10% discount. I like em

If I bought the function and form type I i would need to also buys the controll arms right?

No. They're just for bling. Get some function forms and some thick sway bars and your car will handle like it's on rails.

x2 i would go ASR with a chassy brace but thats just me, since i like the bling of LCA's, if you want a sway bar i heard eibach sway bars are good too

 

[Kensai]

Type R is a quarter of the price for the same thickness.

 

[jbwilliam]

I just want it to ride like OEM. What would be best?

 

[Nebster66]

Uhh...
I would either go with decent new ones off eBay... They have many on there that are a good deal!
F&F, HKS and so much more!
