Default suspension opinion

I have a 95 civic coupe that is DD and I am in the market for a desent set of one peice coilovers. I've narrowed my selection between two and I need some opinions. Should I get D2 one peices off of password or should i get some Tein Basics?

Thanks for the input.

Konis/Ground Controls. Will ride better than both of those choices. Cheap full coilovers are cheap for a reason.

+1. All of those cheap Jap sets are the same.

+2 on both of those.

Basics ride like shit.

Konis/Ground Controls IMO are the best. Koni makes special valved struts/shocks for the Ground Control coilovers.

I've driven plenty of cars with Koni/GC setups and all of them handled nicely and rode great.
Both of the people I've quoted had/have these setups.

When I get the $$$, I'll be getting a setup.

When I get another car, the first thing I'll get is a Koni/GC setup. My ITR rode so well the last week I had it, and that was with 8kf/10kr springs.

I liked my H&R setup, but for the options its too expensive, +1 koni/gc, which is what I'd do if I had to do it over.

There are so many setups for decent prices that leave you with quality pieces and a great ride. It all depends on what you are using the car for. I purchased a set of the Function and Form type1 coilovers for my ek daily and they ride soo dam good. I recommend them to everyone. They only set you back $630 (weaksauce is offering an additional 5% off and free shipping too). End up $598.50usd

Again, it's all about what you want to do with the car. there are just too many options.
