Are we talking US or Japan..

Because the following makers already make them and they are a direct bolt on... unlike the GD JDM to GD USDM shock bodies.. the GE ones bolt right on

CUSCO
TEIN
RS*R
HKS
J`s Racing
Honda Venti
JIC
LARGUS

For those looking to get coilovers for the GE fits, JDM Parts, JDM Racing accessories, HKS, Greddy, Blitz, Tomei and more direct from Japan - RHDJapan has em. I just ordered myself a set of Cusco Compact Zero-1 Coilovers today (fully adjustable ). It costed an arm and a leg, but I guess thats the price to pay for lowering the car properly.

Here's the link: Search JDM Performance Parts from RHDJapan

I went with the Cusco's because theyre fully adjustable (both height and dampening), the spring rates are 4.9k front & 2.9k rear (a tad bit softer than the enduratechs that some of the GD members have raved about for daily driving comfort), and they were only $100 more than the Tein Basics.

BTW, thanks for the NF springs Dave. They were great for the time i've had them. When are your RSR Coilovers going to be installed? Those were more expensive on that site...
