And what exactly is a perfect suspension to you?

I think Honda thought your suspension they gave you was good enough. So why not stick with that?

the stock suspension is perfect for a d16z with 14 in rims, but the cr-vtec is heavier and has more power plus i am running 18in rims.

i am just curious of what others have run on the car and what they think works

18inch rims? ****. Why not do a 6inch lift and go 4x4 on it.

What exactly do you want?

No dont do that, then youll end up finding the answer yourself and we all know you dont want to do that. The thought of looking through the site for an answer. Incredible.

Put DUBS on it, and slam the car to the ground.

No one is you, we dont know how you drive or how you like the ride to feel, so this question is moot point without even the smallest amount of information.

"curcit racing, auto cross, and drag" and "18" rims" and "civic" should never be used in combination with one another.

Please don't mind the guys being dicks. But to answer you question, there is no such thing as the perfect suspension. You will find good combinations of parts far a specific price range that will meet your needs. A suspension setup for auto-cross will be different than for drag. You may find a combo that will work with both, but it will still not work as good as a specific setup.The bottom line is going to be your wallet.

whats good for street isnt great for drag. whats great for drag isnt very streetable. whats streetable isnt as active as an autocross setup and a good autocross setup isnt cheap.

find perfection in the mix, and that'll help us help u. help urself however n lose the 18s.
