Default Starke coilovers
Got them on today finally. They ride really firm, but NOT BOUNCEY. My SC feels nearly as smooth as stock, but much more responsive. Its corners great, and imagine that may improve even more once everything breaks in.

they're actually pretty good, I had them on my civic-DJ XO most likely got the 16way adj. I think Starke is a NV based company? I can't remember to be honest. Anyway here's a pic

The springs are 8/10. Im going to go lower in the front some more, but I need to roll, and or pull the front fenders. The rear tucks with no fender mods at all. I may roll them just to be on the safe side. (Gangster potholes, etc)

Much appreciated Sir. Im checking that out right now. Im sure these 20's will eat that harness alive if I go an "ounce" lower. Lol. Thanks for the compliment as well, bro.
