Ground Control = Garbage  
Koni’s aren’t exactly a comfortable ride

[/quote]

Please elaborate, I 100% disagree…The Koni Sports will handle anything up to about 600# and you can adjust the rebound for comfort/performance as you wish. And I like the Ground Controls because they are so customizable and easy to change out. That said, they probably aren’t necessary in this case. Also, the only time I found that setup “uncomfortable” was when I had 250# springs up front, dropped the car 4 inches, and was constantly riding on the bump stops…

Get a sport suspension and see if Mugen or Buddyclub makes anything for the DX. Great ride quality with actual performance comes at a great price.

Because buying coilovers that cost 1/3 of the value of the entire car, are a good idea for someone who just wants to sit a little lower.

p.s. I don’t know you at all, and you may be basing this just on RSX experience, but the macpherson strut Hondas do have different options/advantages/disadvantages than the double wishbone cars…
