best coilover for dc5

[EG_Civic]

wondering what everybody thinks is the best
setup for a dc5? and
what everyone is using?
i know tein is one of the popular ones.??

anyone have tanabe?

Coilovers for the DC5 ride pretty stiff. I'd recomend staying with a good quality lowering spring like Tein, ST, or Eibach

how are tanabe suspension products? I know their good for their exhaust. But rarely hear any reviews about their suspension lines.

Im using a Mugen Sport Suspension setup for my DC5... they're non adjustable but I love them! It rides fairly stiff however... but alot of people say they ride close to stock (I kinda beg to differ) they lower the car only 1.5 inches too but handling is really improved.

The spring rates are: 5.0 kg/mm front and 8.2 kg/mm rear

Are you droping it to handle better or are you droping it cause it looks cool?

yea it's about 1.5 inches for the front and rear... maybe a little less... 1.3 or 1.4... but it's around there.
