either tien or tein. i don't have a sport compact mag in front of me. it does look as though they make a good to great product. I read a little article about them in a sport compact mag a few months ago. Good luck in your search.

If you want a great price, PM Stefan (hondaman-iac) and he'll hook you up. I got mine from him

ok, well after doing a little more research, i've decided that i'm going to go with springs (eibach) and shocks (KYB) rather than coilovers. i've heard the ride with coilovers is bouncier, plus it's more expensive for adjustability that i don't need/won't use. along with the springs and shocks, i'm also guna get strut bars for the front and rear (both top and bottom). hopefully will be installed on saturday; pictures to come on sunday.

make sure you get the progressive rate eibachs... not the linear rate ones... they're the "pro-kit" springs... they don't drop as much but they perform much better imo... they take some getting used to and some people don't like them at all but I love them... the sportlines are WAY too bouncy and cheap feeling imo.
