Icon2 drag suspension question.

after searching around about what suspension to get all the threads seem out dated and old.

now that one of my OMNI struts are blown and they dont make them anymore, what seems to be working well for people. not blowing out, good 60' times, ex...

looking into progress but they no longer make the coilover kit for a civic anymore.

thanks guys.

PM someone like Tony1 or one of the other fast guy's that own a shop and sell parts.


Buy from them, the price may be a bit higher, but you get great customer service. Try getting that from ebay.

How about Blox? Someone not so long ago wrote a thread about them and said they worked great, I think IPG was the one who wrote the thread. They also won't break your bank...

F@#k it. I dont feel that it hinders the car at all or I would of replaced it a long time ago. Maybe over the winter I'll change them to something else but I dont feel that it will make a difference.

I like the strange system a lot better. It helps you control bound and rebound. People get custom valving done but how do you know it's right unless you can adjust it. Progress is better then omni and all, but I think strange is the best system out for imports.

James at Speedfactory was talking about using no dampening in the rear and it working for him. Makes me wonder if stock shocks with proper springs and threaded sleeves could get the job done.

It can in the rear but the fronts are another story unless you limit the travel..

I'm thinking about getting a set of Ksport Pro Kontrol Damper Coilovers with upgraded drag springs. One of my buddies has them and seem to work well. Anyone have any experience with this setup?

I'm running blox drag on my car. Seems to be working well. 12k fronts and 18k rears, i believe KStune is running blox drag on their h22 outlaw car.
