What is the best setup,( For V Tec conversion) with theses factors in mind;
-Handling
-ride quality
- Setup/ maintanence
-cost
also, apparently it also comes down to the actual frame you choose. From other threads on this board, I think I shall attain the watsons frame, so base your replies apon this, but feel free to offer other information, as all is appreciated :D Scott G

on a side note , give Andy at AMT a ring (number in the VTEC FAQ) and ask when his frame will be done , say this site sent you :) .. his will use coilovers

Aaaah, so it is not like say an actual civic, whereby you can put uprated dampers on the car, but change over to coilovers if you so desier( Usually for wheel clearance I.E. 20"s or for lowering use, IE, 150mm :roll: )
This AMT, do they have a sight?
Thanx so far peeps :D Scott G
As far as I know AMT do not have a web site (could be wrong ?) I think they prefer telephone contact.
If you find any info from them please post it, I have called a few times and promised myself to wait till mid Jan before calling again :roll:

Yes, I'll need to call geoff. I have worked (As an apprentice) with a performance car tuner up here in scotland " www.the-garage.co.uk ", before I moved to Mechanical Engineering, and coilovers seemed to be the done thing, yes they are a pain to set up, but my question was posed when the favoured frame, seemed not to use them :? as you lot can appreciate, the best handling package is sought after up here, cause our roads are by far the worst(bumps etc) and twistyist :lol:
