[touge_monster]

i wanted to know if anyone has these coilover. I am looking for some full coilover for my em1 civic si for daily driving and Koni yellow wit ground control is out of my budget....any reviews would be very helpful. thanks civic club

koni yellows and decent springs is your best option.

I have them on my Civic. I was very happy with them! Rode very smoothly and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

My only issue that I had was that one of them blew after just a couple months. Tried to get it replaced, and Tein said they would IF I sent it to them first for them to look at and determine it wasn't installed improperly. Since it was my only car at the time, that wasn't an option.

Yeah, Si just has different spring rates, larger front swaybar and a rear swaybar. Front shock forks and rear lca's are the same.

They are a good option, as long as you don't plan on going lower than 2" with them. I would consider them the ultimate DD coilover comfort wise. I did a 7-hour road trip in an Accord on Tein Basis, and they were super comfortable.
