Sussy set up

[Denchy]

Hey yall juz wondering all those out there in O.H land who are driving EK1 Hatchies. what set up they are running in the suspension department. I dont wanna know about the big dollar coil overs and the likes but a decent bang for buck setup. I am not happy with my king springs and pedders shocky setup, too much body roll in the back :S and not enough turn in response. currently running with OEM bushes too.

Any decent response would be appreciated. :thumbsup:

Cheers

want more turn in and less body roll

invest in a whilteline rear sway bar, front sway bar, camber/castor kit.. all that jazz.

u WONT regret it.

i don't own a EK hatch, but my 2cents is that a alignment reset & pretty much what fried had said is good BFYB.
You'll love it ! :thumbsup:

already got the front strut bar.. will let you know how I go coz I am certain there is light at the end of the tunnel for the not so financialy advantaged out there.

remember your car doesn't come with a front sway bar, so ek4 front control arms will be needed to install a sway bar.

get a 22mm whiteline sway bar would solve your problem.....trust me....it rocks!
PS: try to look for a 2nd hand mate....a good one should be under $150..... very effective!!! :D

my EK VTI sedan seems got the front sway bar but not the rear only :!:

I wouldn't put a 22mm rear bar on your car without upgrading the mounts.

Apart from that, because you are on a budget, i'd go with a bigger rear sway bar, and depending on how that feels, decide if you want to increase your castor or front bar.

sweeet some constructive info thanks dudes.

dont waste your money.
Since its a ek1 there isnt a std rear sway. Get one. They all come with uranthane bushing unless its OEM (vtir).
Make sure u get one with a larger mounting plate (3bolt). As alot of the sway bars out there with the normal 2 can cause serious damage to sub frame. my friends one tore apart. (do some research)

Get firm springs... the firmer the better for handling. but u gotta take into consideration street ride quality and your shock lvl and if they can take the harder rates.

im not sure if u have a front sway bar... but the vtir civic sway is big as or even bigger than most after market ones..
If your on a budget just get one.. but u might need different conrol arms or somthing to mount the arms onto.

if you have to buy a rear sway bar,
do consider the beaks kit + itr swaybar combo
much much better quality than "ohter" offerings
