Hi there!

Could anyone give me some advice what suspension/coilvers i should use for my Honda Civic Hatchback -94 when driving it with an H22 swap.

I want to use the car mainly @ 1/4mile track so there for..i need a drag setup.

What kind of dampers . springs and so on..or if u have anything to sell

Best Regards

personally I like ground controls + koni yellow's. Just get a good spring rate for launching (they will give you custom spring rates if you ask), and you'll be set.

 

omnipower

 

i currently have Spax RSX full coilovers setup for road racing but will be switching for omnipower drag combo

which we sell

 

omnipower drag combo?

tell me more..

It seems nice..

500$ is for a complete set of 4pcs shocks and springs , right?

does anyone have any reviews on omnipower suspension? I know GC's and koni's can't touch that price, but they are more for the turns than straight line anyways.

Feels like crap, but some people get used to it. You can always swap out the rear for track days, but that's just a hassle, so many people opt to daily drive with it.

Something was seriously wrong with his gc/koni's if he dropped .4 in the 1/4 by switching. I wouldn't even expect that big of a change from blown stock shocks/springs to a drag setup. Either that, or he changed more than his suspension between runs.

 

So..what should i go with? , drag coils? ..or just ordinary coils? , cause i do belive correct setup will make a realy nice chassie reaction whwn launching thrue 60fot

all he changed was the suspension and added a set of traction bars and went from a 10.79 to a 10.44

 

suspension plays a major roll in drag racing. what good is power if you cant put it to the ground? my car is putting good power to the ground but i cant get the front end to stay down mid track. a racing buddy of mine puts down the same amount of power but he has his suspension tuned and he runs a way faster time than i do. id say you go with the omnipower suspension, energy suspension bushings and a nice set of traction bars. that should help with putting the power to the ground. hope this helps!

 

I know its important, but I'm running 13's, not 10's. I really doubt the omnipower's could even save me a tenth over gc/koni's. In a 10 sec car, I can understand, but that's a whole new ballgame.

 

an employee's car is a 94cx hatch with a jdm itr swap went from 13.3 to 12.8 by putting the omnipower on his car
but he had skunk2 coilovers and kyb shocks on before instead of koni/gc

 

I find that hard to believe. half a sec on a 13 sec car from spring/shocks? He must have been driving like **** when he ran that 13.3, or diff tires or something.
Either way, I'm not trying to start an argument, but I can only assume that IF that is true, then it will have the opposite effect on handling, and make it that much worse in the turns.

 

ES 16.3105

The cheap alternative to traction bars.
