Three options: Ground controls, weapon-r, and dropzones. Haven't heard too much about weapon-r...an old member had them and if i remember correctly they rattled. Ground Control come HIGLY recommended around here, but they're more expensive. Dropzones can be found on ebay for cheap but they are very stiff (450/350 I think is what they are). Anyhow, you can't just throw on coilovers; you also need to replace the struts or else your car will not be very comforatble. Best bet for struts is Koni struts (they were just discontinued so you'd better buy em quick if you're going to) or bilstein strutst that are revalved, not stock. In any case, you're going to be spending a few hundred dollars if you want your suspension done absolutely correct (dunno what you're budget is).

And also, welcome to the board. You will soon become addicted like all the rest of us

i use weapon r circut pro coilovers from a 93 crv (they are universal anyway ) and racing swaybarrs from Suspension Techniques. and the damn car got stiff like riding on a lawnmower at 90mph, but i can out corner a corvette and its seriously on rails
