Hello everyone!

I just recently picked up a 2006 RSX Type-S and I was curious what brand you guys are running/recommend for coil-overs. I think I am leaning more towards the BC Racing side of things but let me know if you have any experience with them or if you think I should go in a different direction. I am not very familiar with any brands of suspension so thats why I ask. I plan on having it as my weekend car but also to have some fun like maybe bring it to the track one of these days but for now the streets are her home.

Since you have the street advance coilovers, it usually would be that your springs are binding when you turn the wheel. This can happen if you're missing the plastic bearing in the top hat, or sometimes it just needs a bit of grease. Doing the ball joints and tie rod ends can definitely be helpful with correcting some of the steering geometry and bump steer. Even on stock I believe the tie rods don't sit completely straight though. Make sure you get a proper alignment once you do install those parts, they won't fix your clunking but they will improve the steering of the car.
I appreciate all your knowledge. I have a 02 type S, and I would like to improve the ride quality. I feel every bump, and have to grip the wheel tight to feel comfortable on bumpy roads at high speeds. What can I do besides new tires to improve bumpiness, and steering stability without lowering?
Here is what I had on my car: Tein Basis Z coilovers, Progress sway bars 27mm front 24mm rear w/ adjustable endlinks, Rear Camber kit, SHG steering rack slider, Buddy Club Roll Center Adjusters, 0857 inverted tie rod ends, and a good alignment.
I hate to plug my own post but I think it will help alot of people on this thread. The KEY to correcting your vague/imprecise aftermarket...

Keep plugging your post. I'm learning a lot from it! I just wanted to know if you'd recommend anything off your list without actually lowering my car?
