I have them on my '89 16v and like them a lot! For the money, I don't think you can do better. I've got Tokikos in it, and like the adjustablility, but as everyone says, they wear out quickly.
I did a cost benefit analysis of getting new springs with struts or these as coilovers. If you include labor on the struts (I don't have a spring compressor and didn't want to buy one) the price difference is only about $100 or so. Based on that, I was sold. Plus you have the added adjustability. Someone mentioned that you need to get the alignment done every time you raise or lower the car. I think this is true, but I have yet to get mine redone and I have changed the height numerous times with no ill effects.

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with them or had any thoughts about them? I have a friend with them on his Accord (I'm sorry for mentioning the evil H), and he loves them. GC now uses Eibach Springs exclusively. The reason I like them is because I would like to have control over the ride height of my car. Lower for auto-X and a little higher for the street. The price isn't too bad either at $400.
