NICE!!! Best news I've had all day. I know a buddy with these on his tC 1st gen and he has nothing but good things to say about these. I'm also stoked because I need to get new shocks soon anyways:-)

i can't wait for some one to try these out.. i was going to get a set of coil overs for xmas as a xmas present to my car, but i am willing to wait a bit longer to see if these are good. i can't get the thought out of my mind that the ride will not be great.. good isn't good enough for me.. i have ground controls (which are very similar to raceland) on my civic and although the car handles and looks great, the ride (although compared to other people's civics isn't some crazy bounce machine) is still very rough for daily driving.. now, i don't daily my civic, but i do enjoy going on canyon drives and the likes with it, and if so much as a bump or rut interrupts the smooth road, you best believe my bump stops are getting trashed and i get jolted..

probably not, if they are anything like the tC1 or xB2 no.

I don't think the picture they have shown is the actual product because the rear spring and shock should be separate. From the description, the height is the only thing you can adjust.

for sure that's just a stock picture, with your spring/strut set up it'll look more like the xb2

@disaster06 Uh yeah, I don't think there would be a discount code considering how cheap the setup cost.

Any whos, I've been racking my brain these last couple of weeks on whether I wanted this setup or the BC Racing coils. I've heard from some former Skicotics members that Raceland coils do the job just fine for daily driving...... And besides, if I ever wanted to switch to stock I just toss these bad boys out with no remorse. Still though, the thought of no stiffness adjustment settings does weigh on my decision.

Is it cheap because of the minimal adjustments? No camber or dampening ?
