If I were to put a suspension on a Honda right now, I would go with some koni "yellows" and some good old ground controls. Find 4 blown koni yellows, send them to them to be rebuilt/valved for the ground controls and be a happy guy. If you cant find any blown, dont sweat it. It will only save you about $100 total, I think. New struts valved for the ground controls and ground controls can be found on HT for about $1000-

redshift motorsports sells the kit for $849-

I did not know that koni and ground control were so good.
my friend have a set of koni on stock springs we use for backup whenever our Ksport blow on us, is blew twice. I am gonna replace the blown Ksport, and if it happen again koni it is.

Yeah from what i have read up on the koni's, is that they kinda suck out the box. but once there revalved and setup for the way you want them(car,springs, etc...)

They perform very well, and the gc's are nice also.

I say deff. go the koni yellow/gc route

Or, you could do what I said and run a Bilstein out of the box. You know, since they are cheaper to begin with and really a lot cheaper since you don't have to send the brand new ones off to get revalved and dyno'd before you ever run them.

Or are you just buying according to Brand Name so that ******* on forums will go OMG JDM when you post up your build sheet? As opposed to buying what works best and happens to be super affordable, with complete disregard for what fools think.






ok

ksport coilovers come from the same place the blox/omni/bullshit comes from. and yes, the bilsteins are great shocks as well. ground controls wont give you the oh ah factor to the nutswingers, but if you go to the nutswingers that give a ---- about suspension, they will give you the oh ah that you want.

I like this company as well, have a set in my DA for a while now and have a set in the soon to be done Civic as well. They work well, I like the feel...but I certainly havent put them through the test.
