Default In the process of replacing the Suspension on my civic... need some help...

Ive got a 90 civic Dx which is a solo 1 car, not street legal... gutted, rollcage, the works, but its got a old tokiko suspension set up (came with it when we bought it 3 years ago). Ive just replaced everything with poly and wondering which would be a good race coilover to run. Ive been told the JIC FLAT2-RS is quite good, but need some suggestions on other products. Most likly to start I would like to run 600lbs front (maby 700) and 900 in the rear (I have to remove the sway bars which are in the car so for them small tracks i need the car to rotate so thats my reasoning for this setup and possibly having a secondary set of much stiffer springs for a larger tracks like mosport where I dont need so much rotation but stability.

can anyone provide me with some help ?

JIC sucks.

I'm very happy with my SPSS3-valved konis, there's plenty of info on them here, and you can get them already revalved and shortened for about $1000/set

Go with the Koni SPSS valved dampers as mentioned, unless you want to shell out the cash for Moton, Ohlins, or Penske to be fabbed up for you. Off the shelf Konis can handle up to about 600 in/lbs from what i've collected on this forum, so going with SPSS valved and shortened bodies would be a good bet.
