Re: what suspension set-ups do you guys have (thehatchninja)
Hmmm.
Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings - ride like ****, but handle great.
Koni threaded suspension kit - improved the polyurethane ride, and handled even better
Front Civic Si control arms and 21mm sway bar - body lean became much less
Rear Suspension Techniques sway bar - eliminated understeer made worse by the front Si sway bar
Front GSR shock tower bar - car now stiff as wood
Z10 engineering radius arms - car oversteers slightly after this install, and bumps summon a visit to the chiropractor, however, pesky wheelhop now gone
Neuspeed rear tie bar - couldn't really tell a difference, but maybe a little stiffer in the rear?
That help?

Re: what suspension set-ups do you guys have (couter)
energy susp bushings also, definately worth the trouble, the ride stiffened up alittle but around corners the car improved alot. cusco front lower bar( this is also a must imho, the steering response is so much better w/ this mod... benen makes one too) susp tech front swaybar 25mm, itr rear bar 22mm, itr rear lca, w/ stock bushings. tein ra kit w/ pillowballs (you get used to the ride, the performance gains are incredible, i had neuspeed sports w/ blown stock shocks b4 and i was creaming myself when i finally was able to install these) benen lower bar, mugen front and rear upper bars(but im replacing the front bar w/ the new 3 point benen bar) skunk front a-arms, ingalls rear camber(go w/ the rubber bushings on this b/c the uerethane are LOUD). i just got the benen crossmember bar but i havnt installed it yet( the eg's dont have them stock, so i assume this is a must also) and ill be getting the jimfab traction bars when i get a swap done,,, i heard the z10 bars are designed wrong and they bind(ill find the thred... the bars pivot points need to be on the same axis as the lca pivot bolts.) and i have an autopower roll bar. i have a 94 coupe and it handles as good as a coupe can i think. post anymore suggestions.

Re: what suspension set-ups do you guys have (Bumnah)
I have a question also I have a 95 Del Sol vtec what spring rates should i run front and back for autocross? I read in Grass Roots they put 900lbs springs in the back of a 2002si that sound really high to me.

i heard the z10 bars are designed wrong and they bind(ill find the thred... the bars pivot points need to be on the same axis as the lca pivot bolts.)
Hopefully, Jimfab will have his bars for sale soon to replace them.
