suspension mods for a rex?
Tien Springs 7/6
Rear Disc Brake Conversion
EF EX 10.3” brakes and knuckles (front)
Koni Yellow Shocks
Polyurethane radius arm bushings
Heim Joints for sway bar
i havent decided what kind of wheels i want, im debating 14" v. 15"
i was thinking of throwing on some Si wheels (the 7 spoke ones) but then i thought about going 14", and the 14" honda wheels are pretty skinny arent they? i wanna run at least 195-205 tires. what decently light 14x6.5/7 wheels are there?

any more comments? especially about wheel choices?</TD></TR></TABLE>
So, less static camber and a weaker camber curve due to the longer UCA in comparison to the stock length LCA. Sounds like an overall lose-lose situation to me.
Why do all these suspenion mods if you aren't going to corner the car hard? And if you are going to, then you'll want that camber.

its a honda not a race car. less static camber = less tire wear. if you can find me a chart that compares the camber curve of a stock ef suspension setup, and one with a UCA thats 1/16th of an inch longer and there is a big difference, then ill probably scrap that idea. until then, i dont mind losing that extra .01g on the skidpad, or .2 mph in a 700 ft. slalom.
ill say it again. its a daily driven honda, not a race car.
