Coilover Decision!!!
Hey guys,
I know its been talked about in the past but i am recently looking into buying a set of coilovers. I have been looking between three different sets at the moment, between Tein, buddyclub, and Megan. I was just wondering what your guys opinions are and about the positives and negatives of buying coilovers.
I am looking for a good drop, and want to eliminate the wheel gap and have the wheels almost tucked. maybe have the fenders sit slightly down the sidewall of the tire.
Right now i have lowering springs (T1R S-Coils) but i want more of a drop. I know the ride will be more harsh, but im hoping coilovers help to prevent the after bounce of bumps that i get with lowering springs. More of an absorbed feeling unlike a rebound that i get now.
Anyways thanks for your input

i've read somewhere (either here or 8thcivic.com) about a Megan exhaust system that was replaced 5 times on the same vehicle due to it breaking open.
that has me on my toes about megan racing products. (i know it makes me sound ignorant for basing the reliability of the company on ONE review)
i've heard lots of good reviews on buddyclub coilovers though.
as for the tein coilovers... i haven't read much about them yet.
i don't know if skunk2 makes any products for fits (i'm fairly inactive on this forum, even though i want a fit more than a civic). lots of civic guys have skunk2 pro-c coilovers. they all seem to like them.

thanks for your input! yes i have read about the buddy club being a popular choice on the fit, i have seen a few people with the Tein but also have not heard too much about them. i am hoping this thread gets some attention and gets some good responses going from people who have tried different sets out.
