I own a 89 hatch and am considering to buy omnipower full coilovers but read info on here that you may not have wheel tuck anyone with experience or have bought it for ur EF plees any information will be helpful pictures would b great thanks alot oh ya and I am new to Honda-tech
Here is my car nun special


thanks

damn man...is that a JDM neon light in the front grill?

 

The lowest you can go with preload set.


And with the spring dropped. ALL collars locked.

 

seems like you really cant dump the thing...
weird, but it might just be what im looking for.
how does it handle compared to other setups you've had?

 

It handles good But what suprised the hell out of me is how much better it handles with it dropped all the way down.

 

yeah. they arent meant to be slammed. but my rear end is tucked in and my fronts are just lined up with the fenders(not intentionally) but its not lowered all the way either i got about another 1/2" in the front to go and bout the same on the back. i would take pics but dont have my digicam with me.

 

damn wut I like is slammed though thanks for all ur reply's I just wished their was like 1" more 2 play with so in times as pictures or something I can wheel tuck but we'll c how things goes

I think H&R makes an "ultralow" coilover or something like that. The user rob. on here has them I believe.

 

post pictures of ultra low EF's well good ride well omni power are like 899 and like 1000 with tax so I want something in that range
-dk

 

Ultralows are a 3" drop when they are raised all the way. They're pretty extreme, I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

 

hehe probably not but maybe I want full coilover and sicc83 ur car is insane LOW it is like 1" off the ground nice car though i wanan c setups of pretty low EF's pictures work the best for me

ULTRALOWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love them to death !

I am sporting 15x7 wheels with 195/45 15 tires. So it wont tuck or rub.
Butr beleive me this is really low, the undercarriage is like 2" from the ground !!!
It can go another 1" in the front lower

 

damn those are pretty low low thanks Rob by the way wut are ultra low kinda a newbie on suspension haha
-dk

 

H&R Ultra Lows...0-4" drop !

go to http://www.hrsprings.com

 

I can't imagine why anyone would want a drop lower than 2" on a street driven crx. I'm 2" down in the front and I have a hard time making it over many speedbumps. I also do many track days and the height is perfect. Hell, even my actual racecar (ITA CRX) wasn't as low as some of the crx's in this thread!!

Maybe caring about the **** that's under your car is something you learn and are not born with. Don't worry, it'll come with time.

I have heard that the Omnipowers are AWESOME. The "Street" setup is like 450/550 lb (8k/10k) springs while the "sport" packag is like 700/800 lb. (rough estimates). They aren't meant to be "slammed" because race cars don't need to scraping on the ground to perform well. 2-3" drop should be perfect. 2" for street and 2.5-3" drop for track will meet ALL your needs.

I agree. I guess some are more into the 'looks' of it.

Whoa bud, uncalled for.

 

rice_classic,

Actually race car should be as low as possible. You wanna eliminate all the air from going under the car . That will create "lift" and slow you down as well.

you want the car low but not slammed if your racing it because the axles will have to turn more harder, then a car that was somewhat low where the axles would be parallel to a pointm, so the axles dont use that much effort and lose torque

 

shortening the preload will make it stiffer, but a little bit more bouncy since you cant adjust the shocks to compensate.

if im not mistaken in the instructions for omnipower coilovers it states not to mess with the preload. dont know if thats b/c the shocks cant keep up or what.

You're right about the downforce but wrong about the "low". Not all tracks have perfect racing surfaces and on MANY tracks your car will see "shark teeth". If your car is too low and you straddle the shark teeth you can lose your headers or your exhaust system. Also, on "production cars", you DO want some flex in the suspension and if the car is TOO low then your body will hit the ground OR you won't be able to accomodate your shock travel or ideal tire choice.

You can SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the air traveling under the car with splitters and front air dams/spoilers without having the car so low it reduces performance.

Since I race CRX's I have already studied aerodynamics and height vs. performance so your comments don't fall on def ears.

 

RICE_CLASSIC...

This is as low as a race car should be..the lower (within reason) the better !

That car isn't that low.. the front splitter is LOW and the wheels are tucked (cause they're HUGE!) but the body isn't ridculously low.

Besides... How low one car can go for max. performance is different than another car.

This is how low my last race car was and it was actually (just a bit) below legal specs... I wouldn't want it any lower than this but it would have been nice on the big long straights if it had a front spoiler/splitter.

 

NICE CAR... Are those 14x8 panasports ?
