Default Re: TOV Civic Si Project Car Video: Progress Suspension Install (Tyson)

there is a thread in the apperance cosmetic forum about the skunk2 civic si, it said it was runing 1800lbs/f and 2000lbs/r spring rates, i couldn't belive it. Its a Mac-strut car, rear end is similiar to bmw so it has to be closer to a 1:1 motion ratio then a honda. I asked some one who had one for SEMA, and they said "thats skunk being skunk"

gona watch the video now

cool video, wonder if they were lucky enough to get those weights and % right of the get go.

The best part is it gave me an idea as to how stiff the springs are on my LX Coupe. Now I know where to start with regards to talking to Lee at Koni.
