im going to be buying suspension for my crx very soon. im leaning towards koni yellows w/ custom rate ground controls (12k F 18K R) but im open to other suspension ideas. i was thinking of the omni BUT the drag kit is nonadjustable which im iffy on. im curious to what everyone is running


EDIT: i now want something that i can drive on to & from the track but must still be very stiff, so omni drags are now out the question. and im leaning away from D2 & function form ones just because they havent been out long enough and there isnt as much feedback like there is for other coilover systems

progress drag race. non adj, it is all in the valving. next season, strange.
ill let you know how the progress' work this weekend at e-town.

 

I am running Tein HA full adjustable suspension with 16 point damper settings. This thing is stiff as hell, the smallest pot hole feels like I just fell into the Grand Canyon.

 

Anyone using the "new design" omnipower coilovers for their EF civic/crx???

 

We are using Showa gas filled shocks with 10 compression settings and 10 rebound
settings.And it is also 20lbs lighter than the stock ****.No struts ,No wishbones,No limit straps and a 26x10 fits inside the stock steel fenders.And its a very simple set up.

Not as much as you think. I got the shocks at a motorcycle salvage . for $75 a piece.And the guy gave me the link set up with the shocks. And then 4- 1/2" hymes
and i made the rest. I did the whole thing in a week.thats figuring out the brackets and finding the parts.

 

damn, quit teasin with them pics.

how do you like em? and how stiff are they?

 

bump cause i still dont know what suspension i need to run

 

JIC front and rear.

 

my Ra's are still for sale

ill give you a hookup

 

ill give you $500 cash right now and 1 car head start at the tracks

 

Im running Tokico illumina's with custom 900lb eibachs, haven't tested it yet but we will see what happens. From what I understood from one of the previous suspension threads a 900-1000lb spring will provide stiffness with enough rebound to kind of shock back to the front end for a better 60ft, I will be testing it soon. It also shouldn't ride like a complete sherman tank, lol.
