will no one answer this or what???

**Cyrus** · 09-09-2005 02:29 AM

u looking at coilovers or shock and springs
what is your budget?
Tein is pretty good as I used to run it on my EK civic with 10k front 6k rear and I drive it everyday coz I can't be bothered doing all the adjustments
Apexi also provide pretty coilovers for the civic......
not too sure about mugen but I guess prices for it could be hefty

Well im gonna b building an all out track car so Im guessing between 3 to 5 k on coilovers wit heaps of adjustability like rebound bound camber ect.

**Cyrus** · 09-09-2005 02:49 AM

Well, then just a set of coilovers not going to give you much adjustments except for the suspension part. You gonna need camber and castor kits to adjust all the other suspension areas.......and more, adjustable anti-roll bars, sway bars etc is all needed to complete the 'handling' part of an all out track car....a set of coilovers going to give you some difference over your stockies but it ain't gonna be complete for an all out track car. Is this car gonna be your daily driver as well??

**tegstar83** · 09-09-2005 03:12 AM

yeah its also gonna be for daily use as well not sure if im gonna use it every day though, I am aware that ill also need other stuff to add to the suss setup, need to obiously learn more about this

I'll move it to the suspension forum, hopefully you will get some answers there

*moving*

Have a read of this thread: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...5&page=8&pp=12

What the guy from whiteline was saying is don't get overly stiff suspension. Use swaybars as much as possible. This way your car will be more streetable too

So just get some Tein coilovers, but nothing too stiff (under 10) and get some good sway bars

HKS HyperMAX Pro II... 18kg - front, 16kg - rear, good for track, too stiff for road,
or
GAB - get the shocks, changed to KG/nm Springs,
Or
if you want something crazy,
Tein N1 or anything with N1...Front 26kg, Rear 22kg....

**bennjamin** · 09-09-2005 10:06 AM

even australian tracks are as good quality as JDM tracks ( just IMO

) so why bother with massive rates when nice front and rear swaybars will help with the job ?

IMO even my custom whiteline springs on my koni yellows is too stiff for the road - with somethign like 5kg/mm front and 2.5kg/mm rear lol

Tein HA - though rare as hen's teeth... good road/track compromise... hieght and 16 way adjustable... anything stiffer than that for a CRX and you will encounter chassis issues...

Fr 18 and Rr 16 IMO is ridiculous for a CRX which weighs in at 900-1000 or so kg - send the car bouncing off the track.
