im on a 800 dollar budget and i want to fix the suspension on 89 civic si hatch. i heard alot of **** about all these kind of coilovers, shox, sway bars, etc. but keeps me going in circles. looking to hook up a suspension that will handle bad *** in tight turns @ sum wat fast speeds but at the same time have a nice ride for regular street driving and sumtimes for track driving and also to have a 2 in drop from stock height
anyones opinion will help greatly

 

ground control coilovers with the basic 4g civic spring rates (? i think they're 275 & 350?)

tociko blue shocks

22mm progress rear sway bar

should be a reasonable price

 

Tokico ILK Suspension Kits is $589 that includes lowering springs and adjustable shocks, the drop is about 1.5" they are decent for the price

 

it would bad advice to recommend tokico blues. it would be worse advice to mate them with ground controls.

get illuminas. period.

then get whatever springs you want. neuspeed race springs, or eibach race kit, whatever.

then spend $125 on an aftermarket rear swaybar like suspension techniques.

end.

 

koni yellows, w/eibach race kits imo, if you can stretch your budget just a bit more get the konis with GCs. in the long run its worth it.

 

yeah tyson's set up sounds pretty good but it wont have a bumpy *** ride like wen i go over a little dip my car wont bounce for like 10 mins after they pass the dip like other cars ive seen on the road but ive heard of sum other set ups dat sound pretty decent but maybe you guys can fill me in with the 411 bout 'em or which combination of these things would b good

i dont believe eibach makes a sway bar kit for EFs

 

tokico blues on h&r race springs from inlinefour.com for about $420. and energy suspension bushings for about $150. i love the way my car feels now. alls i need now is a traction bar to get rid of this damn wheel hop!!!

 

AGX new 450
GC used 50
Autopower 4 pt used "that makes the tight turns you want fun" 300
ST rear sway bar used 100

I exceeed your budget by 100 but seriously i love this set up...the only reccomendation would be to get illuminas or Konis...I have heard great things about the two...not so much AGX

 

JUST GET KONIs!!!!!!
