Loving it the only suggestion is the radiator I actually put a stock Integra radiator in my civic it helped on the hot days the fan clips right up and only thing I had to do was remove the lower brackets it may not seem the best but budget is the goal I thought I was the only one but came across a bunch of guys who have done this hope that helps for those hot track days

[@dannysi8919]

On my crx with the dampening at 12 clicks I would say a little more firm then stock springs are not a high spring rate so I wouldn't slam the car on this suspension but for I believe around 300$ it is a steal

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

They are pretty soft, not stiff at all. Solid little inexpensively setup but like "Danny Si" said, definitely not recommended for slammed setups.

I have the Maxpeeding Rod coilovers on my EJ8 coupe and I love them. The Damping setting really help but don’t slam your car.
