First off, I'm a new member to this board...but from the looks of it....you guys are really knowledgeable and "mature". The reason why I say that is because I've been on other boards before (mainly streetracing.org) and it seems like the only thing they do is argue who put their hazaards on first in a streetrace. Never really got a chance to learn anything.

Anways, here's my situation. I have a 98 Civic EX coupe...which I'm about to sell in order to get a 92 hatchback. My coupe has ground control coilover sleeves/tokico's/ingalls camber kits....but honestly....i never was able to get them adjusted perfectly. Always seemed like one corner was higher/lower than the other. I don't wanna adjust the height every week (just too tempting) and get an alignment as a result.

Well, I was wondering how a type R suspension would be on a 92 hatchback? Would everything fit? Would it handle well? Any idea how much of a drop it would give? I'm also hoping that the dc2 suspension will help compensate for the engine swap i plan (b18c1).

Everything will fit. It doesn't really drop it that much, maybe an inch, but it rides really nice. The handling was significantly better because of the typeR swaybars even with our motor swap.

Cool. Yea I'm not looking for a dramatic drop. Trying to keep a sleeper look. Thanks for the info.

I would recommend just getting some Neuspeed Sport or Race springs (depending on how low and stiff you want it), and some Koni Yellow adjustable shocks. That will set you VERY nicely.

Edit: If you want a sleeper kinda look, the Neuspeed Sports on Koni Yellows are exactly the ticket. If you want more info, just ask, I've researched the hell out of suspensions.

I probably wouldn't go for the race (2.25'' drop ???)....but how are the sports? I wouldn't need a camber kit right???

spyder

Yes, race are 2.25" drop. The Sports are about 1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. It may seem strange to have different levels front and back, but you can't tell from looking at it, and it works just fine. No, you would not need a camber kit for the Sports.
