Coilovers   Posted Sat May 1, 04   8:29 AM     

Im thinking about getting coilovers for better turning and lowering. I was just wondering what brand you would recomend. I have been looking at a Edelbrock IAS coilovers. It has Ebaich springs with it also. If you know anything about these coilovers share them plz. Here is the site for Edelbrock http://edelbrock.com/automotive/sport_compact/index.html

If you want to get suspension for your car (i think you have a civic?) then just get the Mugen Suspension kit, it is sorta kinda expensive, but if your gonna build a honda, you might as well go mugen.

What kind of car are these for? I really like Tein myself, but their stuff is really pricey. I know Edelbrock is relatively new to the import market, but Eibach makes good stuff at a decent price, so you can trust their stuff (In my opinion). Another option is to go with tokico or koni and then run the springs you want, (of which there are many, many brands). Coil overs are a good way to go when upgrading the suspension, but while your doing these, don't forget to upgrade your sway bars and strut bars, which also aid in improving handling.

Teins can be like maybe $700 (at the cheapest) a set and up, I haven't really looked around much for them, the set I want are like $1,400 for the four. I just suggest looking around, optionsautosalon.com might have them, and I'm not sure who else (depending on the car, since so many places are specialized towards one car or manufacturer). Josh

I saw a set of Teins at Diamond Bar Honda for $999, and thats a dealer. I would go mugen over tein, because mugen IS hondas tuning company, its nto much more expensive either.
