well after much debate I finally decided to go with the Tein SS coilover system... I was debating between these, Mugen Suspension, KW's, and JIC FLT-A2's ... I narrowed it down to Mugen and the Tein, and I decided on tein b/c it would only be roughly $400 more (than the Mugen).. might I mention it's a RSX Tein kit, but includes camber plates ... all I had to do was buy tie rod ends so it'll fit properly..

I believe that ultimately $400 more was worth it for the ability to adjust the damper, height and front camber

anyone riding with this setup??

You do need for rear.

I have the Tein SS's, but made for the EM2 (???, 00 Civic Si, I think?). Mine didn't come with upper mounts/camber plates, though -
can you take pics of yours?

I'm having a problem with mine of late - whenever I take a turn at
slow speed, I can hear the spring/suspension moving/turning in the
front (both sides). Someone else mentioned that it's the spring moving
and turning the perches, b/c the upper mount is just the stock piece.
It didn't do this after the first install, I'm going to have to
check it out this weekend, though, b/c it seems to be getting worse.

I'll try and take pics.. so ya, mine was made for the RSX, but all I'll need are the tie rod ends.. comes with camber plates, and pillowball upper mounts.. so hopefully I won't get the same problems as you.. time will tell.. I'll post pics and letcha know soon
