which coilover and y???

[03accord]

hey like the titlte states which coilover is the best and y in ur opinion??
buddy club n+spec
tein ss
tein ss-p
tein flex (only avail for tsx but fit our cm 5,6,7,8)
k sport pro
skunk2

now the reason im starting this is because i will in the market for new setup with in a year im guessing. im currently on tein ss. love it but hate it at the same time. what i dislike is the fact that are a bit soft for me at it's stiffest setting. love the adjustabillty factor of them, overall great setup. i would buy another set,  but with the pillowball mount for sure. im looking into buddy club and other's because they lower and raise the height on the shock body and not affecting the spring and shock travel. the teins dont do that unless i go with flex.
so please help me make up my mind for when i need to buy new coilovers.
thanks in guys

I have a set of Tein Basics and I'm very happy with the ride.  If you're looking for a stiffer ride than the SS, then you probably wouldn't like them.  I also considered the Tein Type Flex's over the Mono Flex's.  The Mono Flex's have a higher spring rate.  You may want to pay attention to the spring rates of the suspensions you're considering also.

I'd stay with tein. I've never read a bad thing about them.

Tein offers a rebuild package. check into it. you can get them revalved to match your desired spring rate, pick the height of your spring and MAYBE even ask for a shorter rod. That way you'll have EXACTLY what you want

i completely forgot, I don't know if they still do that but you could inquire a form to fill out with the desired dimensions of yoru suspension and they'll do the math for you

I never knew this.. Very interesting.

I've been using SBC Coilovers from eBay. They are Megan racing Generics. Treated me good so far for a sleeve over system. I am running mine on HFP struts and they go really low. I will post a product review after 1 year from install.

Tein SS-p's with EDFC is they way I'll probably go next time.  I got the Basics because of the price(before the price hike) and because it was primarily for Ashley and she didnt need anything other than a drop. For my own personal driving style I need a lil more adjustment.

[Mike]

I'm currently in the market for suspension, and wish I had gotten into modding my accord before this "Price Hike" the tein stuff is killer expensive now!

^^^This is true. Sort of like what happened to Greddy and Comptech. I saw a Greddy Evo exhaust that used to go for $550 shipped, at $1469 shipped on eBay.

I hate it I may go with the full HFP suspension just because of the low price

The shocks are bulletproof but you will soon move on from the springs and get something else. the 1" subtle drop only keeps you happy for so long.

I can get the full set up for 600 I'm hard pressed to find anything near that number plus i'm pretty sure this is the only option that won't give them a way to argue with a warranty claim on the tranny etc. Also it doesn't require the use of a camber kit right?

Might as well get the Neuspeed Supercup kit. $600 shipped and you get 4 Koni Shocks and a free set of Neuspeed Race Springs.

But I will need the camber kit, and IT's not a honda part so opens me to warranty issues.
