95 civic coupe suspension rebuild
I'm going to start working on my friends civic coupe. It's been on jackstands since 05. It's time for it to run again.
We will be putting on the following parts:
GC adjustable springs. 500/550 rear spring rates
Koni Yellow shocks
Fully polyurethane bushings replacement front and rear
4 wheel disc brake conversion.
new rotors
new pads
new wheel bearings in the front
new outer tie rods
the car will be corner balanced.
suspension will be factory with only negative camber added. 2 degrees in the front 1 degree in the rear (maybe).
new flaken azeneis tires front and rear
jim fab bars in the front
gsr front sway bar
type r rear sway bar (already on the car)
benen rear lower tie bar (already on the car)
skunk2 rear lca's
skunk2 pro front camber kit
blox rear camber kit
earls brake lines.
more parts still to come:
Pictures of parts we have already collected:
Bushings were purchased in April 04. To give you an idea of how much we've been procrastinating on this car.
the suspension pulled. Rear disc brakes ordered.
New Hawk HP+ Pads
New rotors front and rear
Rear camber kit by Blox
Stainless steel brakes lines front and rear
Skunk2 Pro front camber kit
40/40 prop valve. thanks to the guy who bought my old civic for telling me where to find it
Skunk2 rear arms with poly bushings. I love these things. Look great. light weight. Poly bushings in them already.
Some stuff is not pictured. I'll updated when I make progress. I"m busy with my own car so I haven't had time to start up on this project.
All parts ordered from Weaksauce. asiandoood said he'd tickle my balls if i said that. :rick:

OG's comin out the wood work is right. I just did the rear disk conversion with Skunk2 LCA's, and they are really great as far as quality, finish and ride. I would rec. them to anybody doing the rear conversion.

corner balancing is going to be done in norther virginia. i do not have the tools to do alignment and corner balancing properly.
the car has had skunk2 stage 1 cams since 03, never tuned. i will try to talk him into getting it tuned for some more power. it should run like a beast.
