i wonder how good they are vs. megan. the damper adjustability is cool though.

I would stay away from D2 and Ksport

a friend of mine bought a set for his 90 CRX, and wasnt pleased with them so he sent them to koni for them to dyno them, even tho they advertise them as 36 way adjustible, there realy only 2 way, Full Soft or Full Firm, and on top of that, they do not react fast enough to be very usefull

theres no concernable click to them like with illumina,agx, or koni's so you just have to go with "oh i moved it a smidge it must be stiffer" on the dyno chart for them there is a large jump from full soft to the next adjusment, but every increment you turn the knob doesnt change anything, so you essentualy get Full Soft, and 31 Full Hard's

i dont like many of the cheeper coilovers, the Omni power stuff has a bad problem with the bases sheering off at the fork in the 92-00 civic stuff, and that pretty much is all the sub $1000 coil-over kits

i just hope some of this stuff changes on the Fit platform, but you get what you pay for i guess

the only combonation id get if i wanted coilovers cheeply would be a nice adjustible shock(Illumina, AGX, Koni Yello) and some Ground Control Coilovers if they make them for the fit yet.

yes that would definitely be nice and we would know the quality is there. unfortunately GC doesn't have them yet (well not posted on the site) and havent seen any posts about standalond shocks.

I also inquired about Progress Springs and they will have a coilover soon for $999.

ksport has some but it's $1399. forget that.

I completely agree, I have a set of d2 coilovers I took it off after 2 days. The ride was really harsh. Complete waste of money..
