Lowered suspension, springs n Struts recommendation

TX SE-R · 03-01-2009, 09:50 PM

Hey guys, just got my B14 SE four doors. I have been looking for one almost 4 years, I loved this thing to death. I really like to lowered the car as she still ride on OEM suspension.
However, I heard good things about TEINS, but they are expensive. What will be a decend combo without the ricer/gangster look? Affordable?

I hate to go anything more than 1 to 1.5 inches...I drove my daughter to school, just don't want that Fast n Furious looking Honda.
Something not to harsh or bounce up and down.

thanks

Whomever told you "good things about Teins" is flat-out incorrect and providing horrible advice. No longer listen to that persons advice on your suspension.

Ive got Tein basics w/ pillowball mounts and I love them...the car looks very inconspicuous and is not tucking rubber. Handles like a snake. The ride is a little stiff but I like the feedback.
