i have a crx with a b series and i use the car as my daily driver with the once a month AutoX visit. I am currently using Tein S-tech/KYB gr2 which works nice for street driving, but the springs are way too soft for autoX (especially with the added weight of the motor).

I am looking for something that will not lower the car too much but offer a little stiffer spring rates for my aggressive driving. I would like the car to have better balance without slamming it. i dont think i really need full coilovers or really stiff spring rates. i am looking for a compromise between streetability and performance. please help me.

keep the s-tech springs but get some kyb agx shock asorbers.

gr-2's are really only stock replacments.

 

Koni sports.

Yeah the S-tech's should be fine for autocrossing if you get a stiffer shock, I had a B16 CRX with S-tech's and AGX's rode nice but didn't handle for crap. Koni is honestly the best thing you could buy.

 

thanks for the input

i have been researching springs/spring rates and Tanabe GF210 seem to be offering the specs i am looking for but i dont know what to do.

Stiffer shocks, but try to get them matched up if you go with a full coilover setup. but if nothing else Koni is the way to go

 

BUMP

 

 

does megan make a coilover kit? i really liked there kit on my buddies 4door eg.

 

h&r sports + kyb agx + rear sway

 

None of those springs are really want you want if you want your car to perform decently at an autox. Thats the only problem about springs they are designed to compensate for the engine so they make them stiffer in the front end. Which makes sense, but not for autox. You want the rear to be stiffer in then the front.

 

ground controls and agx's or koni's

 

my next set up is agxs with swift springs, ill give a review when i get them installed.

 

My buddy pat had the setup as you and he was running kyb/agx with nuespeed race springs.

Car drove very nice handle awsome. That is what I am going to buy when I get my income tax money back.

 

i hav d2 racing damper kit very nice 36 way adjustment

 

k-sport nuff' said

Thanks for the Advice!

I ended up getting a set of Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks and i am happy with the results. They also give me room to upgrade my suspension to stiffer springs in the future if I want.
