Adjustable Coilovers on a '95 DX?

does anyone have an adjustable coilover setup on their 7th gen, or even know if it is an option? If so, can you give me an idea on some brands and prices? Or should I just stick with some performance shocks... I am also trying to theme my whole car gunmetal gray and blue... I got some gray Sparco Pista 15x6.5 rims with some awesome blue lugs :p

Of course it's an option, they're out there. The only ones I can think of, off the top of my head, are the K-Sport & KW. I know there's more. You're looking at the $1,000 dollar range though.

Are you looking for performance or looks?

Well, at opposite ends of the spectrum, there's Drop Zone and Tein. Honestly good springs and good shocks may be a better option. I went the Koni route and I wouldn't recommend it unless you know for a fact you've got the original rear struts. Right now I've got the discontinued Eibach Pro-Kit springs (straight copy of TRD, one of the few progressive lowering springs around) and Tokico Blues supporting 17*7.5 rims. Handling is bloody amazing but the ride doesn't beat you up as bad as you'd think it should. Stance is in my sig.

Not on this forum, but a very comprehensive list of coilover offerings compiled by a good friend of mine.

I'm more concerned about performance, although I'm pretty sure any sort of performance aftermarket suspension will be better than the stock shocks and springs... I don't autocross the car or anything like that lol... But if I could find some kickass coilovers that were gray and blue or black and blue that would be awesome. If not then black would probably be my best bet... I looked at the Koni shocks for my car... They're orange... That is definitely not gonna happen as I feel like it would look too out of place and tacky

Get them powdercoated to match before you install them.
