    ek1 budget suspension building help

    Hey guys,
    Im looking into improving the handling of my civic while on the green 's and going to do motor transfer later after i get off the plates.

    here's the question:
    With a budget of 1000-1500 AUD, build a suspension setup for my 2000ek civic cxi.

    Its a street and circuit/hill climb style setup Im after.
    looking forward to hearing what people come up with

    many thanks,
    Steven

    Take into consideration a good rear sway bar for your setup, I'd recommend the EK9 rear sway bar kit with an ASR subframe brace, I had one on my old ek and it gave an excellent improvement for the cost of the item

    And we're done here. Those two posts are all you need. With the GC sleeves I would aim for spring rates up around the 500lb/in limit of Koni sports. Anything less will be too soft for circuit use with sticky tyres.

    Inspect some of the bushes too, most likely culprits are the rear trailing arm bushes and the front lower control arm bushes.

    Keep a part of your budget aside for these things because if your bushes are stuffed the car will feel un-easy and tend to move around under brakes and in high load cornering

    I would go with Eibach or Koni springs on Koni Yellow shocks if it majority street. Otherwise look into some BC coilovers

    Has anyone seen this guys post history? Promoting jdmaccessories.com.au is all he ever does.
    Dont listen to him, i compared prices to some US websites and they aint cheap. Like, i could pay for something from weksos and get it shipped here for less than jdmaccessories retail price

    Rubix, I'm sure once you find a damn good supplier that you can't fault you will want to promote him just so your fellow cyber mates can share the damn good customer service he provides!

    Thanks for the input btw
