If you want to retain factory quality ride, Sleeve coilovers are a bad idea. They have a history of being quite harsh. Threaded coilovers on the other hand, espeically those that are ride adjustable will most likely give you the ride that you need, factory, sometimes even softer. NEX and GAB have fully adjustable suspensions.

Ken,
I'm sorry to say but I don't think there's any CoilOver Kits that are close to the factory ride, just for the fact that coilovers are made specificly for racing(spring rate is set to high). Personally, I went from Stock-CompTech-NEX Coilover and I didn't really notice the differnce from Stock-CompTech but noticed a drastic difference from CompTech-NEX Coilovers.
If you still want Coilovers, I would go with the Apex-i CoilOvers, check 'um out in the parts section..
F=ma is right about the sleeved coilovers, they are on the harsh side..

I really appreciate the responses. I just want something that is close as stock as possible. I had a 96 Integra with chrome 18's. When I switched from Eibach's pro-kit to the LSR's coil-overs, the ride was better than stock. I just wanted the same if not better ride if it was possible
OH YEAH...Tann...I've been following this site for quite some time and I just wanted to say: your car is as bad as they come. Thank you for being an inspiration!!!

New guy with coil-over question:
Can anyone tell me what coil-overs ride closest to factory? Soon enough I will be purchasing 19's, and I will not install them without suspension mods, however I want the ride quality to be as close to factory as possible. Are Ground Controls and Skunkworks good? Thank you for your suggestions and help!
