Should handle fine w/current set up.

 

ive got a std hb with kyb gr2 struts h&r race springs rear strut tower brace and 4th gen si wheels w/proxies.. my question is when i am pushin it in turns it sounds harsh tire squell like a **** and dosnt hold as well as id like any suggestions???

 

Get better tires...

 

Get better and wider tires.. riding on 185's will do you no justice. You might also want to look into stiffer suspension also.

 

stiffer what else can i get besides better struts h&r race are supposed to be one of the stiffest i thought i dont feel any body roll..any suggestions on this and what tires would u recomend for daily driving??

 

H&R's should do you ok... When I was riding on 14's I used ADVAN 032's but they're pricey. Some recommend Bridgestone S03 or Falken Azeni. But I personally like Yokohama AVS Intermediate.

 

thanks alot for the advice iam goin to price them soon but i also an confused the more i think about the ls swap (will it be rewarding?) or should i try somthing new like d15b1 block a6 pistons y7 head springs cam valves and a 1st gen teg ecu //like most people iam not loaded and this car is my daily driver thanks

 

the ls motor for 500 w/trans and ecu but i know i need other **** if i do it like shift linkage wiring convesion mount kit ect so this is why iam still considering a d series thanks

 

ls... torque lovin

 

have u done this swap befor if so could u tell me some about it ive read a lot about it bu it all seams veg id like to know about axles shift linkage hood clearance and dont u have to hamer the frame...also could u tell me a good but not expensive mount kit? thanks (i know this sounds stupid but i dont want to dump money into it if iam just goin to **** it up so i am goin to do it right and find out all the details thanks

 

I havent done a LS swap over in a CRX before personally but have known people who have. HondaCRX whose a moderator can give you tips on wiring. As for mounting kits, HASport mounts and linkage kits are fairly priced. You might need to bang a little bit of the frame for the alternator clearance. Hood clearance is fine. Axles are used off any 90-93 Integra.

 

Neuspeed Front Strut Bar will clear DPFI!!



I recommend Neuspeed Front, Rear, and Lower Tie Bar to stiffen up the body. Get a Suspension Techniques Rear Anti-Sway Bar and your car will handle much better.

 

its not a matter of u haveing a STD
all civic mdoels have same suspension setup.. the only diff its that the Si has a rear sway bar...... u might wanna get a ghold of wider tires...... when i have my Steeles i can squeel onnturns bc they dont do ****...... with my 195 yokohamas AVID T4 i can do 55 on a curve and not hear a sqeel ...... also i go tNeuspeed springs, strut bars, and bushings..... just a pointer.....

 

id like to hear about the ls swap into a std hatch

more specifically wiring info

and what kunckles and axles to use with an s1 tranny
