so heres what suspension setup and rim size im looking at

rsr race springs
koni yellow shocks
16" rotas

the rsr springs drop 1.4 inches in front and 1.2 inches in the rear and have a spring rate of 341/235

my question is will i be able to clear my 16's with that drop? and will the ride not be too harsh?

is anyone has other products theyve gone with, or any other suggestions, input is much appreciated

i basically have 1000 to spend on the suspension but i dont want it to drive like im at the track everyday i go to work.

thanks

 

oh yeah, you should be fine with that drop, thats a lot of clearance for 16's and 17's. the ride should be smooth as well.

 

one last question will i require a camber kit to get the alignment done?

do i need a front and rear kit? or just one of the two?

thanks for the input!

You didn't mention the car or the tire size you're going to run, but in general, you should be fine with that drop.

I liked Koni Sport and Eibach Pro-kit springs.

No, just get an alignment to set toe

its a 2000 honda civic ex coupe, and tire size i believe is going to be 205/45-16

those tires would keep the entire wheel size close to stock right?

 

bump

 

Stock 185/65 14 diameter is 23.46"

The diameter of the 205/45-16 is 23.26"

So yeah the diameter of the tire will be slightly smaller, but the tire will be 20mm wider (.79"). The offset of the 16" rim will come into play as well. If it's too far out it could rub the fender, if it's too far in it could rub the inside suspension components. Over-all a 205 wide tire on a standard 16" rim shouldn't be a problem for you though.

 

thanks everyone! its been a great help. now i can finally start saving for rims and suspension
