Default suspension for 93 hatch

rear- Strange drach shocks and 850# springs, aluminum LCAs(may not be necassary, but they are fairly cheap and Ill be working that area any ways, plus losing a few pounds never hurt)

Front- traction bars, cheap ebay sleevover sleeve and 400# springs, KYB AGX.

93 civic hatch with an H2B setup.

Yay or nay on this suspension setup?

Thanks.

Personally I would go with the Omni-Setup all the way. Its prove time and time again. Most of the fastest SFWD cars run them. Stephanie Eggnum runs them in the front of her car. Their a good product for the money. Strange are very nice units too, but just the cost of the rear strange struts and springs will run you the same price as the Omni's. And as for the LCA's, the aluminum units are a nice bling part, and do lighten up the rear alittle, but its not a major weight savings.

1.6 huh? Cant argue with that. Which setup do you use? Do you use the drag specific rears, or just the sport or street package?
