To be honest with you, those two are probably two of the more reliable brands to work with. My mechanic tracks his car and he's got neuspeed springs with koni yellows and he would never, ever turn to coilovers. He loves the spring/shock combo, less noise, no squeaking etc.

I had read some stories of koni's going bad often, but I've also seen many stories of people having to rebuild their Teins... thats where the question arises from.

But what you're reading are 1 in 1000000 incidents that happen and trust me, people do talk a lot of crap when they write their reviews and experiences on-line. Ask someone you know personally, and ask them verbally lol, you'll get a better answer.

Between my brothers and myself (on the 7G Accord, 3G TL and 1G TSX) we've been through Teins, Function & Form Type I and II, Ksports and Koni's and to be honest, the Teins and Koni's were probably the most decent set ups. The Ksports are pretty damn stiff but they do let you go low, very low. I'd say the same about the F&F's, but for practical daily driving, take Tein's or Koni's. And if you get the SS, you have dampening control just like the Koni Yellows. Drive like an old man or street racer, take your pick!

I hate the whole hella flush look too but what I hate more is putting rims on your car that are worth more than the car. Like when people put big ass rims on old ass shitty domestics. Like crown vics and oldsmobiles

I disagree... I've seen some older Civics with Volk wheels that look amazing, and the wheels are worth more than the car


I gotta agree with this too, I seen a few older civics with ccw's and it looks amazing. I personally think to each his own because rims are what set off a car (hellaflush or not). Everything else on the car is basically cookie-cutter designs or small mods here and there.

Hey guys, I have a quick question about washing rims. I know certain wheels out there have an anodized lip. (work wheels for example) And the wrong type of detergent can easily wreck these wheels. My question is, would regular coin operated car wash soap be alright to use with these wheels, or is it better to just hand wash the whole car for the sake of the wheels?

Thanks
