Default Yellow's questions

On Kings website, it says the Yellow's are adjustable up to one inch on certain vehicles.

With ITR springs, would there be any adverse affect from doing this?

Vehicle is a 96 Civic, so is this even an option?

Also, can the threaded spring perch sleeves be used with ITR springs?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can use Integra Type R springs on Koni sports for civics. And yes it can lower you car 1.3"

No you cannot use OEM springs or lowering springs on coil-over sleeves because the adjustable perches require flat ground springs at the proper diameter to work properly. Otherwise you will break something...

You cannot use a stock ITR spring with a threaded coil-over sleeve system properly because the ITR spring has a stock shaped pigtail on the ned of the coil and is not flat ground to sit on a flat surface.

The spring perch shapes and locations are the same between the ITR and your Civic but I am no sure what probably limited height change there would be based on a weight difference. Using the lower circlip groove locations will let you lower the car rughtly the 25 mm front and 15 mm rear.

Thank you. I have CTR shocks/springs.

So Koni Yellow's with the CTR springs I can lower it 25mmF 15mmR?

To run the perch sleeves I would need something other than shelf stock lowering springs?

I'm not concerned about height really, just want it down a little bit, but I want to take away some roll and stiffen up the suspension, but I'm really liking the CTR springs right now. Guess I'll get the Yellow's then once I'm ready for something better, get them rebuilt and get some custom Eibachs and take it to Jack at P1 to get corner weighted.

I would get the Yellows put them on te lowest perch and with the Type R Spings your car should look pretty good and still have plenty of shock travel to retain a nice ride.

Would I need to go through Eibach or another company to get springs to work with the perches? Would that be more cost effective than getting some Ground Controls (don't need race rates)?
