man those cheap coilovers on ebay work just fine I've been rockin' a set for over two years with lots of highway miles on them. I think I paid forty bucks total shipping included.........man how times have changed they are charging more for the same setup now http://cgi.ebay.com/96-00-HONDA-CIVI...QQcmdZViewItem

it's still worth it though

HAHAHAHAHA someone is about to get raped...



No man ebay is one of the best places to get cheap parts, also a great tool for researching, what parts fit what, what years are the same and stuff like that.
If you learn how to use it and how to be careful with some sellers, you will have tons of fun and buy cheaper stuff, not really bad cheap, but just cheaper prices on good or decent parts.

I was in the coilover confusion, I used to own a et of R1 coilovers stock shocks car bound and ride like ----, then I changed them out to some tokico hp struts and tenzo R lowering springs, car rides a lot better, but it was too low I want to run 24" slicks but I can only run 22" and still rubs, so search ebay and they are cheap but they want $150 to ship it, so I search and search.

and then say ---- it and ordered a set of K-sports 36 way full coilover system $620 shipped. I cant wait to get them, I heard they are better than Tien

I have some super cheap springs on my CRX, they were there when I bought the car. No two ways about it they ride like ---- but the car handles great if you can keep the camber reasonable, for the price to put them on a beater they aren't a bad option.
