I got an EM1 and have d2 coilovers with skunk2 camber kit front and rear.. everything else iss stock...

I am seriosly trying to go jdm on the suspension mods and looking for beaks or skunk 2 suspension.. anyone got any ideas on what to get. I mean real ideas, like give me a nice set up to go for.

 

How much are you looking to spend on a new setup? There are quite a few good options to choose from.

The Ground Control coilovers w/ Koni Yellow shocks are a great combination.
Tein coilovers are pretty nice as well, the Super Streets are fantastic if you're willing to pay for them, they're a bit expensive.
I've personally found the Tanabe Sustec-Pro coilovers to handle quite well also and aren't too pricey.

You can also change your bushings to Energy Suspension ones (black preferably, the red ones tend to squeak if they're not greased properly before installation).

Hope this helps

 

 

I already have some real nice coilovers the D2's rides great man, no lie, witht he skunk2 camber kit, i was actually wondering what kind of rear lower strut bar and brace bar to go for??? any websites u guys knwo of where i can purchase new? or even used

 

weaksauceparts, jhpusa, advancespeedshop, craigslist, the marketplace on Honda-tech.

just search it dude there are soo many more

 

You could check out Megan Racing for some decent strut bars. They're not very expensive and are as functional as most of the other aftermarket ones out there.

Front lower H-braces are great for handling but they hang 1-2" lower than your exhaust and may scrape depending on how low your car is dropped. If your car is quite low it may be better to just get a front lower strut bar instead and save yourself the headache of scraping.

 

What are you asking again?

 

what kinda of suspension setup should I go for... in terms of strut bars and braces.... I heard Beaks was pretty good

 

If i were you, i'd forget the strut bars and concentrate and something more useful like a rear sway bar upgrade along with a subframe brace. That will actually make a different worth investing into.

 

this, and id loose the d2's they are terrible. you say they are good untill they blow, or break like they have been know to do, alot.

 

I hope your saying this by experience, because i've had these one for 2 years and they're still perfect..they are known to compete with Koni's

 

btw guys i got a pair of tein springs sittin on stock 00 civic si struts if n e ones interested pm me or txt 2406203826

 

and also the 96-00 d2's are different styles and better than the ones they make for the older civic and tegs

 

bull ****
yes i am speaking from experience, 2 of my friends have had d2's, my skunk2 sleeves f-10k r-6k on blown stock shocks rode better and handled better. within a year and half one friend had 3 blown shocks and shortly after that my other friends front right bent.
let me see if i can dig up a pic or 2 of his car and his supposedly fantastic d2 coilover after it fell apart.

 

hey guys i have a 2000 civic coupe i just brought the camber kits for the front, n everything else is stock... i was wondering what else can i put on my car suspenion wise??

 

Can you explain how JDM = beaks or skunk2...lol
