I'm thinking for a daily the Pro-Kit's will suit my application more so then the sports. Specially since my shocks will be Tokico Blues. Anyone got pics of what kind of drop the Pro-Kit gives you. In all honesty, I don't give a **** about the looks or dumpedness, I just want a sportier suspension around the turns when I'm doing some spirited driving. Thank you!

 

do yourself a favor. get illuminas instead of blues. its worth it.

sorry, i dont think i have a pic anymore with my illumina/prokit combo. it was a great ride.

 

/\ I'd like to see a CRX w/ the pro-kit too

 

I am running the Pro-Kit with Koni Reds. The settings on the shocks are still at the softer setting and the ride is smooth and forgiving compared to any other setups I have run. I believe that this setup is a good bias considering it is non-adjustable. Keep in mind this is on 205/60/14s



Front Side




Sits about .5 inch lower in the rear now. This pic was taken straight off the jack.

 

actually, koni reds are adjustable. you just need to take the shock off and "push and twist" to adjust.

You think so, even for a 1" drop?

 

yes. very much so. its not abou the amount of drop. its just the extra quality.

i cannot vouch for blues anymore. ive heard too many ppl complain about the quality. theyre now made in their china factory. and as far as i know, the illuminas are still made in japan and you get a lifetime warranty. that alone makes it worth the money.

Details details, but you are correct. I forgot.

The "adjustability" is a bit more involved then just turning a dial though. any tips you can give me in adjusting for a better drag launch setup IM?

 

Anyone else that can shed light on the Blue/Pro-Kit combo? I've heard people raving about the Blues/Sportlines. That's why I bought the shocks to begin with but when I heard people were blowing them I thought maybe it'd be less likely with the Pro-Kit.

 

Blues are really not the best shock out there I can't really vouch for or against them my Mazdaspeed protege came with them and some springs and they ride great...I have always heard they will blow with any amount of a drop, my friends teg had them on the front and he compared them to his k-sports and said they look like a toy compared to something of quality....I rock Koni yellow and Ground controls on my CRX so i can't help you much

I did put a pro kit on a sunfire and it made a noticable difference in handling and a much more agressive stance, I have experience with blue and eibachs but not on the same vehicle

 

crx with prokit

 

^^^ Any details about the ride quality and such?

Agreed. I can vouch for them, but only because I bought mine back in 2002. If this is true about the blues now being made in china, then to the blues, i'd go with the illumnas.

I used to have Blues w/Sportlines on my car and loved it for daily driving. If I had to do it again, I would go with the illumnas/pro-kit, or Koni/Prokit. Or Koni/Ground Control with 8" length springs with rates of 275/200 lb/in Front/Rear or 300/225 lb/in Front/Rear.

But in the end, it's ultimately your choice, so do what you want to do and keep in mind the info provided

Also
Red Crx - 88-89 Si wheels
Teal Crx - 90-91 Si wheels

 

The rims are the same size BUT the falkens are a bit bigger than the stock size tire.

 

 

anyone else out there?
