Hi guys,

My names Steve, I'm 20 been looking into buying an ATR. had a few hondas already including a B18'd EK. I stupidly made a move onto a Corsa VXR wanting something newer, Big mistake! I started to miss my old hondas to much so I got rid of it a couple weeks later. About a month ago I found out my gf is pregnant with child number 2 so I really need a 'family car'.

Been hanging round the forum for a while now learning about ATR's and seeing if an accord is what I really want. I have put a deposit down on TypeVee88's ATR and picking it up on friday (hopefully sooner).

Soz to ramble on, just wanted to say hi!

:hello2:

Depends on your budget and what you want from the car. PM Rich TypeR about BC coilovers. :agree:

But there are other options. :lol:
Or get in touch with Andy at vtec-direct. :agree:

OK thanks for your help. Looking for a fast road set up but also like to hit the track every so often. But obviously has to be able to be adjusted so its comfortable enough for the little ones!

Your options are, off the top of my head....

In no particular order,

KW
BC
Tein - various types
Plus a few more that I can't remember. :lol:

I've got KW's which are only height adjustable but are a nice compromise, the others I think are more adjustable (IE damping, etc). :agree:

I'd say so. :agree:

Another option is the one I intend to take :

Eibach / H & R springs + Koni adjustable dampers

Although not height adjustable like coilovers. :agree:
