Returning my track car to street-able. Buddy Club RSDs and 800/700lb springs are all coming off. I've been out of this suspension stuff for far too long...

Looking to spend as little as possible and I want it to be comfortable and reliable. If I can buy a kit, that'd be a great too; I'd rather not deal with coilovers and/or a separate shock and spring solution, but will if that's my best bet.

Thoughts on Eibach Pro Kit?
Anyone happen to have pics of them on a 92-95 Civic?

I'm done with poorly made Japanese crap...
Eibach, Bilstein, Koni, KYB, and maybe Tokico are all I'd go with.

 

my H&R sports on KYB AGX were a nice, comfortable combination.


Obviously not competition ready,how ever

 

H&R Sport is the claer way to go from my quick perusal of the forum... Cool... I'll figure out a shock then. I was happy with my AGXs long ago...

 

What's wrong with a fine set of coilovers?
It's possible to spend the same amount as a good spring/shock setup IMO.

 

a "fine" set of coilovers is $$ and typically rather harshly valved. i want something comfy and with a nice drop.

 

I almost bought that Eibach kit, I have never used their shocks but we all know the quality of their springs. I would look at Koni yellows with those H&R's if you don't need height adjust. Progress if you need coilovers price is nice and they ride pretty good.

 

I just got my H&R sports today. Waitin on my koni yellows. I'll let you know how they ride and look once I get em installed.

 

im using the Godspeed RS with adjustable dampening, adjustable shock travel, and adjustable height. Feels like the factory shocks if you prefer.

 

thats no different than any other cheap coilover. Some sort of spring with a somewhat soft rate is what your looking for. illumina or AGX shocks or Koni yellows if you have the bank. I have illuminas and they are pretty nice. The ride is a little bouncy from the springs they are around a 320/225 rate but not terrible. Handling is great even set on "1" on the illuminas. I wanna put them to 5 and see what she does

 

Bouncy is caused by an underdamped suspension, which means that the shocks can't/aren't sufficiently controlling the springs.

This should not be the case with Illuminas. Turn up the shock until it stops being bouncy, and leave it at the softest setting that doesn't bounce.

5 will probably be over damped, and result in a harsh ride. However, no real harm in trying it and seeing if you like it.

 

hmmm thanks for the tip, ill have to put them at around 3 and see how they do. i think the front right has a seal going out there was a little liquid that came out when i adjusted it the other day but it had no smell so idk. If they are im just gonna go for the progress coilovers
