Default Which suspension should i go for?

KYB GR-2 SHOCKS w/ Vogtland springs or the Skunk2 shocks and spring set up. To be put on a 97 civic. If you got some other suggestion for suspension let me knowDoes anyone personally have either set up or know how well the combination rides?Would i need a camber kit for either set up?

Get Omni Power full coilover setup. They are $650 on Ebay, and they ride better than the stock suspension. They also eliminate a common problem on the 96-00 civic with the stops on the factory struts wearing down and going down on the axle. I have a set on my 99 civic and absolutly love them. Unlike some other coilovers they adjust from the base instead of the actual spring, so the strut itself has the same amount of travel whether the car is at stock height or slammed to the ground. The skunk2 coilover setup is good too, but its also pricey.

If money isnt really a problem I would definately go with the TEIN suspension.I have it on my car and love it.Its a fully adjustable ride.Including the ride height.I have my car pretty low and it still rides really smooth and can take curves amazingly.And yes I did buy a skunk 2 camber kit with mine but you dont necessarily need it.Just go to www.tein.com and look at some of their set ups.Im sure after going to the sight it will have convinced you to buy it more than I have.But I am telling you this from experience with suspension.
