Re: budget suspension setups
i've been lookin into those eibach pro-dampers, cause they're like $280-$350 a set. so far i've only read reviews on tire racks web site, people there like them enough, so i'll probably go with them this summer/spring.

Re: budget suspension setups
I run KYB-AGXs I got from Ebay for $250, and a set of Progress suspension -1.5 springs for like $125 on sale from sport compact only. I love that setup.
Progress makes really nice springs, they don't slam you car or make the ride TOO stiff, just give it a nice moderate drop and increase in handling. They also offer special spring sets for engine swapped cars, like civics with an H22, so the car doesn't sag in the front from added weight.

I will have some 96-00 K-Sport full coilovers for sale soon. Car is totaled in my driveway. Just need to get a quote on the damage and then I'm gonna start stripping it. Also have Front camber kit for 96-00

Re: budget suspension setups
the only ride height adjustable shocks/struts are the koni yellows.
Dont go too low, its retarded and pointless.
I bought my s-techs and agx's on ebay for 350 about a year and a half ago. The drop is awesome, but I hate that the s-techs are way too ------- soft. They're great for daily driving, but suck ***** at the track or any racing event.

Re: budget suspension setups
Right now I run the Tokico Illumina's and Skunk2 sleeve coil-overs. I'm honestly not too impressed with them...the front's are 400lb and the rear's are 300lb, but they're way to stiff for what I use them for. Very hard ride on the street, and it doesn't "load" enough at the track (soloII type, not 1/4 mile). The struts themselves are awesome with adjustability and such and perform very well, just not the springs. I need something with a little more give to induce a little bit of body roll in a tight corner...unlike the skunk2's that lay flat and produce a slide :P My advice...stay away from the "junk2's"
