so what setup r u guys running on ur rex's ? im lookin for a new suspension setup myself and was curious to see what i should do... ne suggestions ?

 

I have Tokico HP (blue) struts on my rex with Nuespeed Race springs. Pretty Decent set up for the price since i got the struts used.

 

600 lb/in fronts, 900 lb/in rears, no front bar and 27mm solid rear bar, zero toe front/rear, stock castor, Konis revalved shortened, delrin bushings all around. Track only '89 Si. Maybe too harsh for the street?

 

I have a hatch, but same suspension as crx. I have stock 92 integra front springs in the front, stock 98 civic 4-door front springs in the rear.

Holly ****....900lbs springs on the rear....for the street that would be like driving a tow truck.

That would be silly to drive around in the street.

how is that working for you? do you recommend it?

 

Where did you get a full set of delrin bushings? Those rates are high but he said it's a track car. Where did you get a 27m rear bar? thats thick as ****.

 

im running kyb gr-2 with some off brand adjustable coilovers

If your a pack rat like me, and keep a lot of junk incase you'll ever need it, yeah I recommend it. I needed shocks for my car and my wifes 99 civic and knew of a j-yard that would let me have a set of front forks for $5 each with me pulling them, So I ordered a set of shocks for a 92-95 civic (slightly bigger shock body).That way I would be able to use them on either car If I used different forks for my car or make a spacer for the rear lower mounts for my wifes car( the shocks came with them though). Went to get the shock forks for them and ended up getting both front struts for $5 each. I already had a pair of 92 integra struts included when I got a front knuckle setup. So I got to thinking that I had enough junk there to maybe make a complete other set work, I put this stuff together, took measurments of my car from wheel well to the lip on my wheels, and put the new struts on.It was a little bit higher right off the bat, but after about a week, took measurments again, front perch is in lowest position and is 3/8" lower than when I started, rear is 1/8" lower , perch is in lowest position but with front perches instead of the rear perches that are supposed to be there. All this sounds confusing, but it would only cost me time if it didn't work. I still have the complete strut/spring combo that I took off that I could put back on . Same thing could be achieved with 89 accord fronts and 90 civic wagon rears. I'd like for the front to be a little stiffer, but really like the rear, I can handle curves with a lot more confidence than before. Here is a pic of the rears, it may better describe what I did,92-95 shock, top hat and perch is off the 98 shocks I got with the forks for $5 each , In a scense my total cost was $10 plus time/gas to get the forks.

I just got the ksports full coilovers for my ef. They were $600 ish and so far they are great. A tad to stiff for my preference on speed bumps/street but the car takes turns like crazy now. Unlike the omni's they have adjustable dampening and you can lower the front end a good deal.

 

Koni Yellows all around and Eibach Pro-kit for now.

 

im running kyb adjustable shocks and neuspeed sport springs. yeah not bad for the price i paid

 

how is the suspension run? smooth?....bouncy?

 

tein type RA, st f&r sway bars, cusco front lower bar, and neuspeed rear tie bar.

 

27mm bar was custom bent, basically a U shape, that had the ends tapped to accept the existing stock end links. Had to purchase new mounts but they're relatively cheap.

Made the delrin bushings. Inexpensive to purchase delrin ($14 per foot, 2" diameter stock) and cuts like butter on a lathe. Biggest pain was pressing out existing bushings. Even managed to drill the bushings off center to generate additional camber front/rear.

 

Eibach ProKit springs with Bilstein shocks
