what coilovers are available?
 
i have a 99 Lx w/ a 1.6 and i wanted to know what companies made coilovers for my pro. I also wanted to know if there was such a thing like universal coilovers that fit in any car or something liek that which probably wouldnt be that expensive. Please tell me the companies that make the coilover and around how much they should cost. Thanxs im still a rookie

Hey toad...check nopi.com and see what they have. I have skunk2, but there are many different kind...Ground Control, Arospeed, and few others. Mainly depends on how low you want to go, and how smooth of a ride you want. I see some on ebay every now and then for 99's and they seem to be relatively inexpensive. My skunk2' were $300, and I installed them myself. Hope this helps, Later:)

I don't know:doh: :dunno: Wonder why I put that in there? I kinda thought at first that engine size made a difference. Hmm, learn something new everyday.

The front steering knuckles (where the wheels studs begin) have a lot to do with the actual suspension seeing as how that is where the struts mounts to the lower portion of the car. Lighten up dude
