Awesome! It will be interesting to see how your opinions of the coilovers change over a month's use or so.
So do you have to remove the wheels to adjust the height dampening? Can you elaborate more on the settings that come with the coilovers?
Next up, you need to get your car on some scales and get it corner weighted!

yeah we'll see what happens after the springs settle....
well, i'im able to adjust height with teh wheels on, but again, i use a lift at work so that makes it easier. however, it can be done on the ground as well with teh wheels on..
i know a shop owner here for the corner weighting.

Hey 19psi,
Are you located just outside of Louisville, Im asking because i want to come check it out and ride in it. I also have a 91 LS project that im working on Im located in Shelbyville, so im only 25 mins away! Also maybe i can give our members here more insight from another opinion

I had coilovers on my civic back in the days...loved them. but in NY, I can't find one shop that has corner weights to properly adjust the spring height. So after jacking the car up 20 time and adjusting the height up and down just to get the right feel...I got sick of it.
I think coilovers are the best suspension upgrade if you have the resources to take advantage of them. they can really balance your ride out and give you the adjustablility to fine tune.
Since I don't have these resources...i just got springs and shocks...
Man, for only a couple hundred more and you can get these megan coilovers...that's an awesome deal!

I'm wondering becuase this suspenion seems like exactly what I want.. and now that I have winter tires and what not, it seems like during the winter I'll have to raise my car

yup , a jack and jackstands will let you do it with the wheels on, especialy if you have small arms. my arms are kinda big from years of weightlifting, so they don't fit between the tire and fender that well....

i'll post pics but it's not impressive. it's not as low as it was before, due ot my ****ty weak offset 17's it's on right now. it just looks like crap really low on weak offset wheels imo.

I'm lookin into new suspension...how much did you end up paying for these? I've see them for about $850...is this a reasonable price for these coilovers or even coilovers in general? Unfortunatley i am on a pretty low budget being a student, so coilovers may not be an option for me... =/

850 is a good price for coilovers period.
19psi, you should slam the car and drive it like that for a day and report back. then of course raise it back to your preference. id be forever grateful!!!
P.S. id also like to see a pic or 2 of it slammed to get an idea of possible drop.

UCF2x SPECIFIC coilovers will FIT on UCF1x but the issue is that since the piston length is longer the coilovers bottom out more (and thus will wear a lot more) when used in teh UCF1x (which has a shorter piston length.
this is why many companies make coilovers to the piston length of the UCF1x, since a shorter piston length on a UCF2x will just limit the MAX height the coilover can go up.
JIC, Wald, and iirc JP and Megan all make coilovers specific for the UCF1x and can sell them as 89-00 compatible. this is also why aforementioned coilovers, when used on UCF2x cars, are almost always at LEAST 1/2-1in. lower than factory even when on max height.
