yeah PICs with extended hats. thats why i asked what he was riding on. my beater has stock struts with Option racing $35 coilovers on it. ITS LOW. and it rides like ****. My other car had FF type 1s with no extended top hats and it rides so so.

 

Im just gonna shake my head and and agree! lol

 

awesome to hear, as im sitting next to a set of PICS waiting to go on. i cant wait to get to work on the hatch. i need a hydro setup and ive heard bad things about suja1, so i think im going to look into making a similar bracket or pedal assembly.

 

I ❤ my D2's

 

might as well

 

No matter how much shock travel you restore on a lowered car, the rest of the car's suspension will run out of travel. You are taking inches out of the designed range of motion when you lower it. It might ride "comfy" on a street that is very smooth (even so, arent your spring rates a lot higher?), but hit anything non smooth at speed and its crap (i.e. suspension bottoms out, UCA hit the body, banging sounds as a result etc etc). You cant get rid of that on a slammed EF, its just not possible!!!

I feel a bunch of these claims of non harsh rides when slammed are simply bogus. I dont see why people dont want to admit it. We all drive EF's that are lowered, we know what goes on and what it generally feels like. You cant fool your own kind! haha. I think that everyone's definition of ride quality differs greatly, and thats the reason for the misunderstanding and confusion.

 

I completely agree with u fourthgen regarding limited suspension travel. I, personally, do think my setup is comfy tho after avoiding a few huge pot holes/bumps, it feels like a stock crx with firmer shocks... mind u I'm not running any sort of poly or spherical bushings; all mine are mostly oem.

 

That thing looks good. Got any more pics?

 

I hear you man. My car rides completely smooth on my street too, but if I hop on the freeway or ride over semi sizeable bumps, its a whole nother story. IMO, bushings dont play as much of a role as ride height. I have ES bushings and a front crossmember with heim joints. I did not notice much change in 'feel' with the ES bushings, but maybe thats because my oem's were in decent shape prior to the swap. The crossmember that deleted the radius rod bushings made a huge difference, but it was a positive impact IMO. More stable and solid as a result of zero delfection.

Almost forgot, nice looking CRX.

 

basically what i was trying to say, im bad with wordz

 

I wish i had good suspension on my CRX, too bad i'm unemployed.

 

thanx homie! i run a Full Race traction bar on my EF and love how much more accurate the steering response is as well the improved grip. definately a positive impact!
