I agree with this guy. 8)oh and i believe in the same thing...suspension first. then motor. no point of making power if you cant put it to the ground right? lol
Power is nothing without control.

Come down to SoCal and ride shotgun when I go to the track. I'll show you what TEINs can do.ha i believe it..in my mind i said teins were better...i never rode or heard any confirmation though.
x2! Suspension before engine mods is the way to go.I agree with this guy. 8)

Saw this on HT
JOHN WAYNE said:these look like they probably come from the same factory in taiwan that makes D2, K-sport, Megan, and so many others.
i'm not trying to knock anybody here...but i learned my lesson a long time ago. its very simple: buy shocks from companies that make shocks and buy springs from companies that make springs.
if you buy a product from someone that SPECIALIZES in that particular area, then you are reaping the benefits of years of R&D. so many of these new "JDM" products are cookie-cutter parts that are just re-badged with different brand names on them. companies like mugen and spoon do not actually make their own shocks, but rather source them from companies like Showa who specialize in damper technology. i'm not sure where they source their springs from, but i'd be willing to guess its a company that specializes in springs. see what i'm getting at? when you buy these random ass "JDM" parts, you never really KNOW what youre getting.

I thought so.I see Swift spring stickers on the RL, so possibly.
Sweet. Flex?When ever I get coilovers im goin with Tein.
And..Suspension mods and engine mods go hand in hand with me. Thou. the past few things Ive bough for the SRT hae been suspension

i have the omni power sport coilovers on my car and i really like them...they are 12K front and 10K back...they handle like no other but then again it is a bumpy ride but i dont care...ive heard of K-sport and my friend has then on his EK civic and he has had no complaints...all depends on the individual experience...and for the megan racing coilovers...i looked at those and didnt like how they had them set up...10K front and 6K back which seemed a lil too soft in the rear for me
