Hi,
I have Mugen 5 way now, but i'm looking for something stiff and height adjustable.
Apexi N1, KW v3, Buddy Club and others, do you have experience? Please suggest me.
Thanks.

Thanks, i think i will contact Andy.

I've never been so impressed with the service and the looks of a suspension product as I have with AMR. It is certainly next on my long list of big upgrades after my swap and paint job.

Andy is a great guy, and for the money you really can't beat his product. It's really catered to your wants and driving if you're willing to have that long conversation with Andy. It's like Koni/GC on steroids with the lifetime warranty.

Waiting for an answer

From Andy? Not that we needed to know the status of your email correspondence but it's the Holidays over here you know.

Thanks given?

Did you ever tried KW version 3?

KW V3s are a little on the soft side, arent they? I have the V3 on my S2000, and for that car it seems like they're perfect for a street/track car. But for a civic, it seems like the rates are a little on the soft side.

Libertariat

With the ULTRA soft factory rates you really need to crank up the rates to get a solid handling car.

Mine is a moderately comfortable daily driver at 350lbs/350lbs front and rear. Remember that's coming from ~180 front 90 rear with the factory rates. A huge difference, and the front still seems far too soft.

My ITR has 340F 360R GC/Konis. The ride is acceptable, not great...but the handling is better than the factory setup. But I think that the car would feel sharper on track with higher spring rates. Something like 400F 500R would work for me. The ride would be idiotic, though. Shocks play a hige role in ride quality. Not that the Konis are bad. I just think that they need some revalve lovin for higher rates.

KW damping is ridiculously good. A revalved set of KWs meant to take higher rates would be great. My V3s are on the factory setting in my S2000 and I effing love it.

If it's a street car, the V2 or V3 rates should work just fine....as long as the car's not slammed.

gutmann

I think my choise will be between AMR and KW v3, but i don't know the spring rate of V3.
Quality/price is very important for me, so i have to consider i can buy the KW from Germany with $30 shipping and 0 import tax, but it's $2000 for suspension....
Anyway i'm still waiting Andy's answer.

This is the actual condition of my ride

Lookin good. What size/offset are the SSRs? 15x7 +40? Tires up front look like 225/45R15s?

gutmann

16X7 +30 front tires are 195-50-16

Libertariat

Why such a narrow tire on the front?

You should really be running 205/45/16 to keep it close to OE spec.

gutmann

Yes, i always run with 205.45.16, but i I found this set of tyres at a great price and now i have to consume them...
