Adjustable suspension in civic?

[Whatsthedillio]

Hey all,
am new to the forum and have minimal car knowledge :roll: :)
i have been reading up on how the SOHC V-tec works and how it compares to the DOHC vtec, i also have a little knowledge of the engine types :D

i wanted to know if it was possible to put adjustable suspension on a 92 civic si sedan, so that i can control the car height from a switch on the dash or something :)

cheers,

edit - typo :)

Ahh, also, what are the first performance enhancing mods i should stick on it?

other than a turbo or supercharger :D

[civicboy]

zup man, welcome :)

so u want an air suspension then? it can be done but u need a engineers certificate 4 it & it'll cost u alot of $!

its better if u get coil overs like Bilstein or Tien - but its up2 ya man

& for you engine mods, supercharged it hahaha but its up2u ;)

[A'PEXi]

depends what type of suspension it is... but yeh bags/hydraulics/air struts/blah u can....

first performance enhancing mods would be i/h/e - sticking a turbo/sc isnt exactly as simple as sticking it on haha... costs a fair bit of money and work :D

[Whatsthedillio]

hmm, well i've discovered the 92 si i was looking at was a piece of $#!T :)
so now i have to find me a decent civic for about $8k :D

hi dillio.

the common first mods that people do to their car are intake and exhaust.

NA tuning is a very fine are, so its important to get a good exhaust, and as I always say, try and get a japanese one if you can.

intake, same deal, try and get a tried and tested one, as dinking around with intakes can actually detract from performance.

Keep it on topic guys... any personal chat can be taken to PM.
As far as "adjustable" suspension goes, if you have the money, look into a set of Tein suspension. Some of the higher end stuff can be fitted with their EDFC (?) electronic control system. AKA controls settings from inside the cabin. Pretty pricey. I believe pornstar on these forums has access to these items.

yep, but the EDFC only adjusts damping force, not height

[VTi-RT]

yes, but they're great :!:

You can have a reasonably soft ride when cruising and then at a touch of a button you can have full stiff for racing.

Oh. I thought it was completely fully sik electronic control system. Oh well... even having an incabin dampening control would be awesome. Obviously not for what this guy is after....
*presses button for "1 inch off d groun bro" setting*////

The EDFC would be cool, especially for something like the EK HB where I always had to remove the damn rear speakers before I could adjust damping force! :P
