I have koni yellows with tein springs in my civic, but I ordered all of it for an integra so everything was rated for the heavier car........................

Mine handles pretty good

fixed it for you, btw grammar police says use well when you are giving more information about a verb instead of good

But thanks for the heads up. I'm gong to be using more spring than a stock teg would so doens't really matter. 4 springs that only fit the coilovers from GC cost 240, and the 'conversion kit' costs 340. I guess the extra 100 bucks for 4 sets of coilover sleeves is worth it from GC.

Well, I found a company on HT with a decent discount on the GC stuff. Ordered 400f/600r springs with their coilover setup. 320 shipped to my door. Should of done this ---- earlier, autox this weekend like 40 min away from my house, but parts wont get here till next week.

Oh well, there is a 1/8th drag strip thats half an hour away I might go play at.

I was running 450f/600r Koni/GC combo on my VX and it liked to noise dive into corners once I switch the 600s to the front and put the 450s in the rear it was more well balanced...but VXs don't have any sway bars front or rear so not sure how much that effects it...currently I switched it up and am using Eibach pro kit rear springs and the GCs (600) up front and the car handles well and is faily smooth...this is my DD and so far this seems to be the best of both right now...oh I am also using the Koni/GC setup that was meant for my CRX that might have an effect on it too same with the eibach pro kit I have...well hope that helps Im not to knowledgeable on suspension theory and other stuff then what I have personally done

nose dive = body roll?

Yea, thats fwd for you. Cars push like a pig. I'm hoping to counteract the understeer with a decent sized rear sway bar.
