Thread kinda turns useless once someone on coilovers rolls by...

But I'll chip in. (In all pics coilovers are in just abou tthe ssame trim. Give or take a quarter of an inch)

Koni Yellow adjustables
Skunk2 coilovers
15" 6,5J ET43 MAK spirit
195/50/R15 Toyo Proxes T1-S




Koni Yellow
H&R Sport springs
15" 6,5J ET38 MIM Cup (porsche boxter clones)
195/50/R15 cheapass tires



Koni Yellow
Skunk2 coilovers
15" 6,5J ET40 (turned from 38) Speedline Safari (My winter wheels)
195/40/R15 Uniroyal rainsport (too skinny tire, doesn't work good, and speedo was off)


Same setup, same wheels, same car, different tires
195/50/R15 Kumho KW17 winter sports



Koni Yellow
Skunk2 coilovers
16" 7J ET45 Rota Slipstream
215/45/R16 Falken Azenis RT-215



Extra's:
OMP top strut braces front+rear
Suspension techniques rear swaybar.
Ebay lower braces
ES hyperflex kit

Overall impressions:
The koni's work really nice with the skunk2's. They are however incredibly stiff and low speed bump is awfully harsh. They're meant to be driven hard, and that's when you finally see the point in them. I really want toe GC top-hats DRIVEN is selling tho. I'm so low I keep hitting the bump stops.

As a summer tire I liked the toyo's alot. Granted, they wear out real fast, and they don't stick like my azenis... but they're cheap as **** wich doesn't make me feel as bad when I'm abusing theshit out of em.

The 15" toyo's do roll alot on the sides, that's why I have the 16" falkens. In retrospect, I think the 15" falkens would have worked fine too. And I think the 16"s are just a tad too big.

The 15" uniroyals were nice in the rain, but their odd size threw off my speedo. Also made the car scrape the pavement here and there. The 50's are alot better. I like the kumho's as well.

Not sure of the lengths, but I like the rates. They are a really stiff for the street, but I don't mind because I do alot of "spirited" driving. Autozone gave me a bad remaned axle so it vibrates around right turns really bad, and the car needs wheel bearings and an alignment. So i havn't been able to test out this suspension setup in my crx. Not sure what it will do at its limit now that this car has a quaife.

When I had this setup in my hatch with no sway bars it was very tailhappy. Overall im content with my setup now, but im not done. Still have more tuning and parts to get.

 

I'll play... although this is becoming a picture thread.
