I would think coilover sleeves are easier to adjust, along with Teins haha. Either way, this shouldn't be a factor in his decision. They're all relatively easy.

I read somewhere that when you jack up a car with the GC sleeves that you have to make sure something on the sleeve is lined up when you lower the car back down, otherwise one side of the car can end up being slightly higher/lower than the other.

I'll try to find that.

Koni > Tokico anyday lol.

From a Koni Yellow and GC owner, I would say get some ff type 2.5 or get some Koni yellow w/ GC sleeves and custom rates. 12-10kg front and 8-6kg rears should be fine.

Definitely Koni over Tokico.

You just have to make sure when jacking the car up each time you check your springs/sleeves that they are sitting correctly as how you lowered them. I make sure to have my spring part number facing me and the (<- down up ->) on the collar facing me aswell. Lower the car slowly and make sure the top rubber piece that sits on the spring, sits on the top hat correctly.

Thanks everybody! The only reason I include the Tokicos is price. But I will be able to afford any of these setups in a little bit. Im not planning on tracking the car in the future but you never know. I also tend to do some spirited driving on back roads do I want performance with some comfort still. Comfort not as important. I don't think there is any question that any of these setups can deliver what I'm looking for.

Btw, is there any 6th gens with illumina/gc?

damn dude already thinking about your next setup! ya just put your setup on! BTW idk about you but I'm loving the recent welcoming of the low life! handles so much better

Same same. Favorite thing so far on my car, besides the RSX wheel, that's my favorite part haha. But it needs to be lower, with more adjustability and handling performence... And I finally just got a job, so now real money and not just hustling for money.

The next setup will come after rims though. And then after one of these three setups and my rims, also a rsb and strut tower bar, I'll start to build a G23 :thumbup:
