What suspension are you running right now?
Old skool Skunkworks (not 2) sleeves with Tokico Blues.
It's pretty old. Probably had them installed since '01 or 02. I'm guessing the life of the shocks is way past it's prime so I was thinking of getting a new setup.
I've been looking around for a nice budget setup. Not doing anything with it, I'd just like a new setup that has a compromise between a firm enough ride for the turns, but smooth enough so that every bump on the road isn't felt. I'd like to be able to drop it and level the ride where my fenders sit right along the top of my tires, but be able to raise it back to near stock height when I get the car worked on or when I need to get the car smogged.
I've been looking at Buddy Club's, F&F's, PIC's, Tanabe S-OC's, Tein, both basic and SS, KSport, D2's, Megan's, Omni's, you name it.
I don't know if I want to go back to a sleeve/shock setup, though I've read that might be the best setup for what I'm looking for.
What would you recommend dooood? I was also thinking of getting a set of Skunk2's pro front camber kit as well. It's been a while since my civic got an alignment so I might as well get a set and get everything straightened out.
