I know that this topic have been covered many times but for some reason I still have doubts about what set up to go with. Ppl here have different opinions on the brands and just wanna go for sure with some I don't have problems later on.

Here are my choices.
1.

- Alignment..................................................................$70 = $70
TOTAL............................................................................$ 1, 029.99

3.

^^^ You see thats what I'm talking abt. Nobody seems to agree on a specific set up..

Now have somebody tried the Followings and can tell if they are good or not simple as that. No just look at the price and go for the cheapest.


1 - Tokico Illumina 5ways/Adj
- Shunk2 Coilover Kit

2. TEIN BASIC COILOVER 98-02 HONDA ACCORD

3. Tokico Illumina Spring Shock Combo


I Think I gonna get Option 1:(

BITCH, go with what you can afford. are you going to be turning at 80MPH? then just get the one you like. doesn't matter "what's the best" it's more like "what can i afford?" and "what looks good"

i took a chance on tokico blue and neuspeed sports and i LOVE it.

i got the skunks cuz they have a harder spring rate. i wanted my suspension for handling. it all depends on what you want it for. like i said, i wanted my car to be good in the turns, so i didnt care about the hardness/stiffness of the ride while just going down the road, as long as i could take turns at like 80, i was happy, haha. ive never heard anything bad about tein basics either. but idk about theyre handling, someone else would have to give their 0.02 on that. they seem more like a set up for looks, since theyre only adjustable height wise. just figure out which you want, handling or looks, and decide from there.
