What springs are you running and how do you like them? Race only or is your set-up streetable? How's the handling, ride, look?

I'll start with mine:
I have just the reg Suspension Techniques kit, and I bought it because it was cheap ($110 brand new). It dropped the car about 1.5" with the rear sitting a tad lower for some reason. Handling is not much better than stock but it retains a stock-like ride, meaning it's not 'bouncy' at all. It works well with the stock struts, but probably needs a strut with a little more compression damping to keep off the bump stops in the big rough stuff. I am pleased with the ride, but willing to sacrifice some of it for better handling.

I guess my point to this post is to get the feel of a better handling set-up.

Oh yea, anyone try those new Teins out yet?

 

Running:
Suspension:
- Koni Yellow Sports, Custom Rate Ground Control Coilovers (350f/400r) dropped 2" front, 2" rear, Neuspeed Rear Upper Strut Bar, Neuspeed Rear Lower Strut Bar

Wheels & Tires:
Stock:
15x6" Honda 6 spoke Aluminum Wheels, Kumho VictorRacer 205/50x15" tires

Race Set-Up:
Kosei K1 15x7" (45mm offset), Falken Azenis 205/50x15" tires, racing valve stems, Axas Racing light weight lug nuts, 3mm spacers

Touring Set-Up:
Kosei K1 16x7.5" (43mm offset), Kumho 712s 215/40x16" tires, racing valve stems, racing lug nuts

Daily driving in PA is a bit rough. Handling increased 10 fold compared to Eibach 1" drop spring (of course). Got me several 1st place wins this year.

 

Thanks for your response. Standard Koni yellows with your custom rate GCs?

 

Yup.

 

CRX-Skunk2 400f/500r on Koni "yellow" shocks.
Civic HB Skunk2 300/400 on Koni "yellow"
Prelude Neuspeed Sport on Koni "yellow"-I prefer the ride quality both road and track

 

stock spring, stock suspension.

but my stock springs are sgressive enough, i need more agressive shock/struts to match.

I'm going with custom valved bilstein sports

 

GC's - 350F/280R (stock) w/koni yellows.

17" Blang blang Volk LE-37's (14 lbs)
w/RE730s (215/40/17)

Probably going to go the comptech route in terms of sway/strut barz....

1988 Hatch: H&R Race, KYB GR-2, decent on the track (some body roll because srpings are progressive) and ok on the street.

 

01 Civic Neuspeed race+blown stock struts

 

In my '93 prelude I run nespeed race springs,suspension techniques sway bars(fr & r),neuspeed upper front tie bar,vibrant rear upper tiebar (along with a custom rear upper tie bar),DC sports rear lower tie bar and KYB AGX shocks in the rear.I'm going to try racing without my front tie bar,I think it makes my handling too neutral.I'll try it and find out.I wish that I would have bought skunk2 or ground control coilovers,even though I love my neuspeeds, I just never thought that I'd get hooked on auto-cross.
