for a street car on a budget you can do the ground control conversions on regular struts, or get the k2rd coilover kits. Then just get struts of your choice.

type HA Tien's are great for the street, my friends integra has them and the ride is compliant and stiff at the same time.



The nice thing about the K2RD coil-overs are that they are steel (i think). you wont sieze up the threads or goinker them

Tein RA's.... Coilovers are spendy, but when you buy the best only have to cry once...

are the K2RD coil sleeves powder-coated steel?
