Coilovers are the best long term investment IMO. They allow you to raise and lower your car whenever you like and seeing that you're from Utah, it will be best for you so that you can lower it in the spring, summer, and fall and just raise it back up to stock in the winter.

There are a ton of brands that you can go with. I did a quick search and this is what I found https://acurazine.com/forums/search....rchid=15329907

^ I agree with TLin401

Go with coilovers; Megan Racing or BC Racing are a couple good brands you can go with.

unless you want to go with air suspensions so you can lower and raise your car whenever you want with a press of a button haha (:

I just installed some BC Racing coils a couple weeks ago. Possibly the best mod I've done. Improved handling drastically over Aspec coils. Since I've dropped about 500lbs off the car I was sitting at about an inch above OEM. I dropped it back down to OEM for a week, then down another 1/2 inch which puts it just right IMO.

Between dropping the weight, adding the coils, and putting on some 255/40/17's, the thing handles like a little go-cart now.

Coilovers are definitely the way to go. They provide you with so much more than standard shocks and springs. Take a look at our XLR8 ISC Coilovers. They are pretty popular amongst the Acura crowd and we have received great feedback on them

They are going to offer ride height adjustment, damping adjustment, and new aluminum upper mounts.


If you're not looking for all of that and just want the ability to raise and lower the car for summer/winter, look no further than the Tein Street Basis. There isn't anything out there for the money that is going to offer what Tein does. They do a phenomenal job at providing performance without sacrificing comfort and providing comfort without sacrificing performance.
