I personally recommand Buddy Club, I am using it right now, they are pretty good. I have Tein RA on my Type R before, and I don't really like it.

I'm looking at the Jic FLT-RS and the Tein RS suspension for my civic. From, what i've heard, the JIC is a really good choice, but then again, so are the Teins. I don't think you'll go wrong with either choice. Both have shops in the USA, so you can always get them rebuilt/revalved if necessary and both are a very reputable japanese company with loads of on-track experience and development.

Good luck with whatever you decide and let us know how it works for you.

I just put on my Teins HA on the Prelude and I like them very much. Yes the ride is firm but also compliant over most bumps. The turn in and lean through a turn feels great, I took the ramp from 410 south onto the 401 west at about 160km/hr and the suspension/tires had more to give.. I can't speak for the JIC but I've also heard good things about them. Is there a price difference? Will you be tracking/auto-x'ing the car?

JIC Magic are good overall, but they may be a bit noisy.

For street, I would recommend Bilstein PSS9. They will be going into production either this week or next.

For track, go Ohlins.

For ultimate hardcore, go JRZ.
