I have a 1994 Civic 4door B18B that will be receiving some suspension work soon & I would like some advice & input as to setting it up correctly.

Specs:
Front - 8kg Coils
Rear - 10kg Coils
Dampers - Koni Yellow Adjustables

Would it be advisable to set the front dampers to soft/medium/hard & the rear dampers to soft/medium/hard considering the coil rates?
The car is a daily driver that is used on the strip & track from time to time. I don't really "granny" the car at all & I don't drive it all day.
Travel is basically to work & back and then the usual driving around over weekends (as it is my only mode of transport).

Any comments & advice is welcomed, thanks!

 

i figure the best bet maybe is, since you say the shocks are adjustable, maybe you can try playing with the shock settings and see how the ride is

 

Thanks, I will be doing this. I am hoping to get a good "base" that someone had used on their car so that I can eliminate some of the hassle
Thanks again

 

Those springs will be a little stiff for daily driving if your roads are crappy. Just watch how stiff you set you shocks as 10k is right on the cusp of the 550lbs that your shocks are rated for.

 

So would you reccomend that I set the damper soft or hard with the 10kg coil, in order to prevent damage to the Koni?
It will be slightly uncomfortable on our roads, but like I said, I don't really put excessive mileage on my car. If it's really crappy I might look at running 8kg rather than 10kg.

 

Actually soft or hard it could damage your shock since it's not rated over your spring rate. I honestly think you have anything to worry about if your shock blows since it's not over by much, but it could happen.

 

use the mid setting of the damper for a much likable ride..
