I have Cusco Coilovers on my '9'. They were already on the car when it came over from Japan. Its like a go kart on the twisties but sometimes is a bit hard around town, but I like it!! :)
 
i would go tien over kw anyway. im sure you can pick up a set of tien ss for under a 1000. bc racing coilover at ok too and there cheap. im not too sure about dc2. i dont think there supposed to be very good. ive no experince with them so i cant say for definate like

You obviously have no idea when it comes to suspension then. KW Suspension is some of the best suspension available on the lower end of the high-end market. Unlike most of the other companys (ie: Tein, BC, etc) they actually rust proof their strut bodies and they also do extensive testing on every product. In the process they make their product damn near bullet proof.
 
well i had them before and i wouldnt rate them at all. id go tien over them any day. and i never said i knew everything about a suspension setup either.
 
i have d2's with better spring rates and there really good no problems at all the old d2's gave problems but new ones seem really good few of my mates running them for ages and no problems and makes the car handle very well better than my dads subaru or so he says lol
 
I've got Meister r on mine. I probably wouldn't have bought them but they came on the car. I can't say they are bad tbf.
Will see what they are like on track soon.
What you after coilovers for?
Track?
Lows?
 
I need to get myself a decent set of coilovers. But the amount they cost will probaly still with my miester r's
 
I would go Meister R from various reviews and first hand experience on a friends car. I have TEIN HA's which are discontinued now but are at the higher end of Tein and I'd say meister are the way forward, Particularly with the dual perch design which allow's you to lower the car without messing around with height of the spring.
 
Meister R get a very good response off the CRX lads I know that much for sure.

Can I ask about Zeal coilovers if anyone can help. What different models of these do they do and how much are they normally?

From the searching I've done so far they are supposed to be pretty highly rated but a bit too hard for normal day to day roads but good on track, is that right?

Thanks.

We actually have a few different suspension specs specifically design for Civic owners that have a focus setup.

Zeta-S Coilovers: For All around use (road or track), but more comfort focus.
Zeta-R Coilovers: For all around use (road or track), but more performance focus.
Zeta-S SuperLow Coilovers: Design to lower car to over 100mm while retaining full damper travel.
Zeta-R SuperRace Coilovers: Design for focus track use with heavy springs rate and stiffer damper valving (available shortly).

All of our suspension have adjustable mono-tube dampers, and these provide great damping response and head fade resistance.
But all the above have unique specification design to provide the best performance based on what the driver need.

We have alot of experience in Honda as we are heavily involved with the community.
That is why we have a lot of different specification instead of just one. :)

I tried my Miester R at Cadwell park in december - was very impressed..
 
how long will we have to wait on the super race to be on sale?
