I dunno if there are sets that can do both rally and track but that's what I would want as long as they cost the same or less than each particular set.

What kind of car do you have?
What's your budget?
Is it a daily?
Which do you do more of?

If you don't really have a budget, I suggest KSport Asphalt Rally Spec Coilover Kit.

Maybe you should ask in the forum dedicated to it. Especially since you already asked this in the Suspension forum. This is general tech. Stop spamming.

its a civic coupe 5th Gen I forgot to include that in the post whoops. Budget is flexible. Its not my only vehicle but I would be driving it around alot hence my desire to have the vehicle reliable off road and on road.

and I do more off road racing than pavement racing

Tein makes a rally spec coilover. I think they're in the $2k budget. A drop in the bucket for a real rally race car. Since that's what you're building.

You're just rolling around in the dirt. Use a stock suspension and snow tires.

its amateur racing not professional cars covered in big name sponsors sorta stuff. I entered a dirt circle race the other day on all seasons lol

If you have a car in a class that allows coilovers, you're most likely sponsored and seasoned well enough to be competitive.

Do they allow coilovers in your class? I'm not sure you're going to find rally spec coilovers for under 2 grand that are any good.

I dunno man I haven't checked any rules lol

You might want to figure out what the sanctioning bodies allow before you go buying anything. Also, if you're racing in an organized circuit, a number of organizations have membership discounts with major manufacturers. For example, SCCA members can get discounts with a large number of companies, and even some dealerships.

ok....so....is this sanctioned? Or just a bunch of dudes driving around in the dirt?

I'm betting there isn't any sanctioning bodies as OP is neither rally racing nor track racing.

These are just more pipedream, wouldn't-it-be-cool threads he's famous for.

naw man I got cones and stop watches its racing. I'd like to see how fast I can do a legit rally tho this is amateur hour **** I dont even go off jumps and fun **** like that. This POS cant even keep up with a 125 I deff need suspension tires better engine. I think the long gear trans in my coupe could be okay but I dont really wanna use good parts in a dumb D15 I'm thinkin about buying a B18 & 5speed from the junkyard and I'm still trying to find a good deal on a (C) 1.8 or a b16, I'm prolly gonna get the b18 in the mean time

Why do you keeping asking questions when you won't actually do anything people recommend?

How many times have you been banned already?

shotoutacc0rd

Do what people have suggested? Most of the suggestions I see are along the lines of go **** yourself.

the only suggestion in this thread is "tein rally spec" and there's about what 10 posts?

Stop trying so hard

Another typical day at Honda tech.

someone asks a question, people who don't know the answer chime in to bitch that they dont like the poster. Where's the crew of people who like to chant "ban"? I see doood mentioned it but I remember that there's a whole group of individuals not just doood. I see grumble mark but he actually tries to help ppl despite being a jerk about it. Bunch of stalkers dude.

on the other hand thank you Notaracist and B swapped for actually being cool

Dirt rally suspensions are high up and relatively soft. Snow tires make you a lot faster on dirt without actually getting dirt tires.

You don't need coilovers. Driving on dirt takes finesse and different technique. Keep doing it if you're serious about it. The sure way to tell you're NOT serious about it is because you're convinced that lack of extravagant equipment is the problem.

Coilovers are the smallest bang for your buck. Snow tires are a big bang for your buck. Learn how to drive in the dirt

In any type of racing environment it's the skill of the driver that is most important and not all the bells and whistles you think you need just starting off. As has been suggested, maybe you should go out and practice, get some seat time in, and when you get to the limits of your car as it sits maybe then start thinking about upgrading ****.

Op working on his third ban, don't feed the troll.

you guys dont need to tell me about snow tires, back before my accord's trans broke I used snow tires all the time and yeah they're good in low grip terrain thats the point of their existence.

the main reason I asked is because I have 8 worn out shocks and 6 really rusty springs. I want to replace em with something good and IV wanted a good suspension since I got my black coupe, with its total lack of swaybars and generally sorta shitty handling. I was thinking about it, there should be something competent in all terrains.

if I wanted tire advice I would've asked "what tires should I use?" but I asked about coil overs lol. I wish I could cage the car but then it would need to be dedicated race car and id need to pick up another vehicle for DD duty instead of being able to spread driving needs between a few vehicles

shotoutacc0rd

as for drake and doood, gtf outta here you're more of trolls than I am, I asked a simple question, intended for people with experience in the area. Instead I get the typical crowd of haters, and the crowd of helper advice guys who I'm proud of because they weren't particularly dick-ish
