Default mmmmm ksport

i decided that the strut/spring combo on my 91 civic hatch just wasnt cuttin it anymore and got a badass deal on some ksport coilovers

heres how the car sat on my previous suspension


KYB AGX 4way shocks with Skunk2 springs and a polyurethane top bushing

new ksport sexiness





and yes those are ksport rear lower control arms as well.
The next few things i'm buyin suspension wise is Ksport Rear camber kit and a Ksport rear toe kit, and a underground racing front camber kit (gotta keep with the all orange theme)

as it sits right now both front wheels have -3.8* camber and both rear wheels have -2.2* camber (lol)

btw my old suspension is for sale and only have about 5000mi on them

What's up with the exhaust slot on the bumper? Try to fill it in with fiberglass?

I wonder that as well, hearing 700 people saying my hatch handles sick y0 means nothing, we need track times reviews and rates to know more.

congrats hopfully they work as well as they look.

the car definatly handles better. theres a few big turns by my house that i've never been able to push more than 90-95mph through (local road becoming a local highway). i went through them the other night along with my friend in his 91 crx with agx's and skunk2's, as well as the same tires (dunlop fm901 195/50-15). halfway through the set of turns i looked back and saw my friend quite a ways back and looked down at my speedo to see that i was goin through them at 110 and was still perfectly stable, he later told me he had to back off at 95

nice setup, maybe,......too low IMHO, like the first better for ride height, but thats just me.

keep up the street shenanigans though and Darwin will own you.

lol I remember having 901s, I feel so old sometimes.

As umm "impressive", as that is you have to factor alot more in being you are 2 different drivers probbly took different lines etc.

Go auto X or spend a day on the track and let us know.

i remember that there was a review for either the PIC, Function and Form, or the Ksport coilovers in the Road racing forum i believe, it was a while ago. i think that it said that they were slightly underdampened?

check this thread out
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1759616

in this one, one guy mentions about them feeling underdampened. i need to read the whole thread to find out more information.

Underground Racing makes a front camber kit for EFs now? Or does the EG/DC2 or EK kit work??

I have k-sports coil-overs with rear camber+toe kit and am looking for a front camber kit also.

testing out new suspension doing 100+ mph turns in public streets/highways? sounds like genius to me
