That Civic would be fun to drive around I bet. But I do agree with buying other people's projects, can be scary.

I have Koni Yellows and Ground Controls on my daily Integra and love them.

They are 450F/375R if I remember right off the top of my head. I love them a lot. Most people run stiffer springs in the back, but I didnt want to do that. When I auto x'ed on the stock setup I could get a good amount of rotation, so I did not want to run springs stiffer in the rear than front to prevent it from wanting to rotate more. I feel like my setup is pretty balanced.

Im looking for something comfortable for dailying, than eventually getting into autocrossing. I have yet to try it.

You do not mess around! You may have more Honda products parked in your driveway than I do at this point.

I daily them and have put a lot of miles of them since I put them on. Including driving them in Alaska. I think they are comfortable for daily (which is a matter of opinion), but they are not that much stiffer than stock. Maybe sometime we could meet up for you to get a feel to see how you like them.

Well since this is an s2000 forum, I decided to pull these out... very depressing photos

F2k swap-sfdej.jpg
F2k swap-qhmmg.jpg

notice the s2ki sticker

..... anyways, still waiting on inlinepro. I was looking at my s2k crash photos and decided to post em up. Theres a 3inch berk/tp exhaust underneath that with no more than 100 miles on it. Completely smashed! Installed it 2 weeks prior.
