Coils vs. Coilovers
I'm a new owner of a 1990 civic. I am realizing there are a lot of
options when it comes to aftermarket parts for these cars. I am
interested in lowering my car, but don't know which is the better
option, coils or coilovers. I don't race and am not looking for super
performance, more just for looks. Could anyone recomend one or the
other?

I run Tanabe Sustec Pro SS-II coilovers on my 1996 Honda Prelude 2.2
VTEC (UK model).
I used to run Koni shocks and Eibach springs but the coilovers are
infinitely better - they can be adjusted between 16mm and 70mm drop
and have 4 'firmness' settings easily adjusted on the top of each
strut.
They were expensive but well worth the money and, even with the poor
state of Scottish roads, are not too severe a ride.
