Default Suspension options Honda

Yeah yeah its been talked about before but many more companys are out now that some may know of and others dont.

Im looking for a nice suspension set up for my 99 civic. Im trying to stay around or under 1k. Must be one piece primarily for the simplicity as well as the concept as they come matched together so the ride should be more enjoyable.
  • Daily driven on shit roads
  • Maybe a track visit here and there when the car is finished
  • Not looking to dump it,just get the wheels flush with the fenders
  • Must be a one piece coilover design


I have a couple ideas out there such as Function and Form,Tein, Skunk 2,K Sport, and Cusco but looking for some opinions and personal preferences.

You ever thought about shopping the used market? You can usually pick up really high end suspension for about 1/2 the new price. Quality stuff will hold up just fine and will be fully rebuildable.

You can get access to stuff on up garage. We also have discussion boards like this one, with search functions so you can look for stuff.

I think it would be worth the hassle and time to search for higher end used stuff. You can probably find KW V2s or some of the higher end Teins for around $1000.

x2, kinda. What have you heard negative about the type 1s?
I've riden in cars with both types and they rode pretty equal.

But yes, Function & Form would be my choice.

Sorry, I'd stay away from their coilovers.
I know I'm going to be hated for that, but its the truth.
