im about to sell my ej8 and buy a crx as a project car in april, as far as suspension mods go, i want my car to resist spinning out when i turn on slippery surfaces. initially i was planning on lowering it on coilovers with the front stiffer than the rear and tower bar in front with the front stabilizers stiffer also. what i dont want is to lose the rex's quick handling. what can i do to keep the handling and quick steering while reducing the chance of the rear end letting go if a car in front of me forces me to let off the throttle? basically how can i make the rear end more stable around turns without drastically losing the oversteer? also which would be better to build from an 88' or a 91' si?

 

bump. what coils are you thinking? I am thinking tein coilover basics (only 800)

 

same im going to get tein basics depending on whether i can find a crx that already has a b engine and save money. if not im getting the cheap skunk2 coilovers for $250.

 

you found skunks for 250? the best i could do was 750 whats the link for the skunks, and which would be stiffer the skunks or the teins?

 

the basic skunk2 coilovers are around $250, 750 is closer to the Pro s coilovers. just look around their not hard to find, you could even find em on google shopping

 

see im trying to stiffen the suspension but not drop it very much (.5-1 tops) thats why i liked the coils, but idk which would be stiffest (sry bout thread jack ill stop taking away from original question)

 

I just recently was in a guys like 94 civic coupe and he had skunk2 full coilovers.. WORST ride I have ever felt.. He straight up said without me asking even what his suspension was.. he said, "Dude dont get skunk2" haha I took his word...

 

what was wrong too stiff or too sloppy

 

idk seemed like both lol... felt every little bump, felt awful

 

try to get something with adjustable dampening.
