You came to the right place for alot of answers and opinions. If you can afford it get the Ohlins. If you can't spend over 1k get the Meagan Racing or D2's. If you can wait Pic Performance has some very nice pillow ball coilovers 8 way adjustable in varying spring rates that will be here in about 4-6 weeks. Happy hunting!

We've actually managed to squeeze them onto an earlier ship, so they'll be arriving on or around the 19th The warehouse is waiting anxiously.

price isn't really an issue. you don't buy a 37k car and put $200 coilovers on it lol the coilovers i'm looking at are ranging anywhere from 1200-2200. i'm really just looking for the best all around. street comfort really isn't a big issue for me. i keep my accord's suspension set raceday stiff everyday. so far the buddy club pro spec's are looking the best. i really like the HKS coilovers but i don't like the fact that the ride height isn't seperately adjustable from the spring preload. anybody have the tein HT's? i really like those, but i'd like to know how well they work on road courses as well as autoX courses. i do both, more autoX though.

Hey guys,

Just to let you know we have an HKS Hiper Max II Group-Buy for $1399 right now Need 5 people to get on board for this price, so if you're in the market, it's a pretty damn good deal for $2000 coilovers.

Cheers,

Gary
