Sup guys. I got a 95 civic hatch si with 00 civic si rims with 195/55/r15. Right now in my suspension I have eibach sportline lowering springs and in front I have tokico illumina's(white, 5 way adjustable) which are set at the lowest setting;meaning its not hard to compress the shock. In the back I got tokico blues shocks(maybe soon to come tokico illumina's too).

I also got some adjustable red springs layings around and some stock gsr shocks.
Some people say I need to put the adjustable springs with the tokico illumina's shocks. Some people say the eibach springs with stock gsr shocks.

I'M LOST


right now the ride is so so. not bouncy bouncy but when you hit rough parts of the road, it sucks. Also when you hit some parts of the road were it sticks up, it hits hard and shakes through the whole car.


What should I do with the suspension I have??


THANKS A BUNCH

Illuminas are some of my favorite adjustable shocks. I had these with Skunk 2 coilovers and they rode very nicely. But it depends what kind of ride you really want. If you want it to feel comfortable like stock, you may want to start trying out stock shocks/springs. Also, hows the rest of your suspension? Bushings?

yea dude before I was all that into honda's I had a 00 civic ex and I know for sure it had illumina's and some adjustable shocks. The car was maybe lowered like one inch but oh man it drove nice.

or maybe toss on the adjustable sleeve on the shock with the eibach sportlines and raise in a bit??


bushings?? you mean like the upper fork and the lower arm rubber peices? oh I'm not sure.... seems ok I guess

Youre tire pressures can have an effectnon this also. What pressures you got?

rotascircuit

about 35

batallic

put illuminas in the rear

rotascircuit

yea I want to i'm trading this dude my blues for the illumina's. what should I set them too? stiff or soft? I mean so it presses in hard or easy?

batallic

soft since the rear is what affects ride quality most, then adjust to what suits you

shotenITR

Damn dude. Wish I could find someone to trade me illuminas for my blues. I gave my set up on a previous car and wish I kept em....

fastrxu

If you set your fronts soft it will give you oversteer (a little bit is ideal)

But dont set it too soft cuz itll feel sloppy

nomoshing

is your car slammed to the ground?

how are you gonna have eibach sportline full springs and adjustable sleeves. they arent coil over springs so they wont even sorta fit. also your ex that you know for sure had illuminas and some adjustable shocks. tockico illuminas ARE adjustable shocks how did you have both.?

supra-n-civic

sportlines are a very mild almost stock like spring with a minimal lower. so most likley not. they are the first step in teh eibach line up. prolines are dumped

rotascircuit

no not at all rear is just up to the tire and front is a bit under fender

rotascircuit

good point dude no i was thinking to put the adjustable sleeve and instead of the little spring put my sportline but its not flat from both side so yea it wont work


yea I even raised the car and lowered it a bit. back in the day I never knew illumina's were adjustable.


maybe toss my coilovers on my illuminas??

rotascircuit

thats right but in the front left right now, its kinda I think a litle too much under the fender for some reason.


i'll try to get a pic for all you guys
