Suspension setup on High whp hondas...
What suspension are you guys running on ur high whp car. Street cars and drag cars. Im needing something to get good ride height and hold the power of the motor. I just have lowering springs on there now. I have a external pump and i need to raise the car up a little.. I don't want my pump hitting the ground.. Anyone have pic of there external pump to..

Re: Suspension setup on High whp hondas... (G"UNIT)
I would suggest doing a search.
Possibly check the autocross/drag race forums also for suspension setups. IT all kinda depends on your preferences and the quality of the roads around you.
this is just a guidline, but a great combo is Koni yellows/ Ground control coilovers. Many, many have been happy with this setup, great for cornering, launching etc....

^^^ or just look a few pages back in this section. A thread was just created a couple days ago asking the exact same thing.

Re: Suspension setup on High whp hondas... (B--RYAN)
most of the high whp (500-700whp) honda's i know of are running softer fronts and husky *** rear rates.. somthing like 600-750lbs front and like 800-1000lbs rear... when you make the rear harder aparantly it takes more force to get the *** to squat on you... so this allows quick re-distribution of wieght towards the front of the car somewhat when a violent launch occurs and alows for better traction (to an extent)...
hope that helps..

Yea they do. I will have full-race traction bars.
I did a search but not for long.. just seeing what was the company people are going with these days.

Tein Type Flex's are pricey, but nice. You can also hook it up the the EDFC unit and control dampening force from inside the car. Just make sure you get the car cornerweighted to achieve the best results.
