like it says just picked up an 05 coupe..

about to order some coilovers...nothing special for track just street use...

dont want the most expensive cause money is a lil tight right now but dont want junk either...something from the 800-1000 price range..

was thinking about just going with the tein basics...

any input would be great..

Not gona lie I don't speak coilover..
just want decent riding street set up..something that doesn't ride like a slammed civic

 

I'm not an expert either. The Tein basics aren't much stiffer(front:503lbs/rear:503lbs) then OEM and are cheap. BC's are cheap as well but I don't know how stiff they are.

As long as you can read this you'll have an idea how stiff some coilovers will be compared to your current suspension:

 

I have BC Racing coilovers 8k/10k. They rattle a bit in the rear but I've had them for about 2k miles now and overall I've been very happy with them.

 

^Do you know what the spring rates would be if converted to lbs?

 

BC's or Function&Forms are gonna be your best bet in that price range.

 

can coilovers be adjusted to keep stock height?

 

I dont think there are any that dont lower the car atleast an inch.

 

I think if I raised mine all the way up I would be close to stock height

 

I'm very happy with my function & form type II's. You can slam your car to the floor, 32-way adjustable dampening, and they're in that price range.

 

Stance gr+ true!!!

 

Now what about spacers?

 

Those are over his $1000 price range.

Project Kics, Ichiba and H&R are all good brands. Do NOT get ebay brand spacers, it's not worth the risk.

 

Can't go wrong with these choices. I love my function forms.
