A stiff ride does not really bother me as this is a fun car and will be tortured through corners but MOSTLY at the track and on the weekends... You and I talked before and i am wondering what the downfalls are of you EXACT setup besides the ride being bumpy? How does it handle? Hows the launch? Suspension travel, is there enough of do you bottom the shocks? ...Compared to the GR2's what is the difference in ride quality compared to the Koni Yellows?
I am in the budget range of Gr2's is why i ask. I can swing it just barely and run the coilover setup with 200# springs on all four corners. I searched summit as well and the lowest rate i found in a 6" spring was 450# lol And i don't feel like replacing my teeth. Thanks, Nick
The car bounces everywhere, including in corners. It handles good, it's real easy to throw around, and it's a lot of fun, but it still bounces everywhere and pretty much looks like every other riced-out Honda you see driving around on cut springs. It's embarrassing to say the least. Going to Koni's made a noticeable difference, but the ride quality still blows. There simply isn't enough suspension travel on these cars. It's not bouncy because of the springs, it's bouncy because the shocks aren't good enough.

So if i wanted to go a even cheaper route that still handles what about gr2's with regular drop springs for them instead of coilovers?

The whitelines obviously are not in production anymore but i could find springs...
Standard springs would probably be better than 2.5" coilover springs. It's hard to find a combination that will work with AWD DSM shocks, but if you're using CSM shocks just get lowering springs for a DSM and you should be good to go. If I was going to do things over, this is what I would probably do, but it's too late for me now.
