Default Re: for those with adjustable struts... (SuperCivic)

I have it in the middle in the front and back. I just tried it to see if it would take bumps a little better (used to have it on hard/hard, was a pita). I'm going to try all the way soft this weekend when I take my girlfriend on a little 1+ hour trip. She hasn't ridden in the car yet and I don't want to give her a bad impression. The car is my daily driver. If I were to take it to the track, I would probably put it on hard in the front.

Do you guys with b16's ever get any wheel hop? I guess it's the lsd, but my car is solid on traction. even with the stock 00 si wheels/tires w/ 30k it was good. I have nitto nt450's on there now (w/ 15" rotas).

Default Re: for those with adjustable struts... (ricodemus)

I agree with ricodemus, I have tokicko illuminas. I have it set on 3 for daily driving. I am also riding on coilovers, so the ride is comparable to stock. It's slightly stiffer. However, if i have the setting to 1 (which is softest) it's worse than stock. It could feel that way to me, because I'm used to driving on 3. I did try to drive the car on combinations of 4 and 5 (for front and back) and it's quite stiff. It's excellent for track days. What were kind of shocks were you thinking of getting?

I have the Tokico Illuminas on my car. For daily driving I keep mine set at 1 (I live in WI where the roads are absolutely terrible). When I autocross the car I have found that the car handles best set at 3 Front/5 Rear, when the pavement is dry. For wet weather I usually soften them up all around.
