Here's the last installment of my suspension setup... for now anyway.





Not pictured: Cusco fr/rr lower tie bars, Okuyama/Carbing rear Type 1 tower bar, ITR/Beaks rear swaybar, CTR front swaybar. Never thought a Civic could handle better than my RX-7 R1!

 

just kinda curious...

What's with more then 4 shocks?

n00b questions own you.

 

ok, i'll take the bait. how do you put all that in 1 car (besides putting it all in the trunk)

 

Only one set is going onto my Civic The other set is for another car.

 

nice - putting my suspension together soon. itr rear sway bar + beaks kit coming sunday, gsr front 24 already sitting in basement, hx rims w/azenis. need a better shock/coilover setup tho, need all the rotation i can get.

 

I've always been a proponent of building up the suspension/brakes before doing anything else

 

I'll take the extra stuff.

 

holy crap that's nice . . .
what's the difference between red and orange ?

 

wow... good eye... didn't even see that at first...

if you look at the lengths of the shafts they're different... and the mounting to the lca's is different so i assume they're for two different vehicles... just a guess

 

eg, ek?

 

Looks like the ones on the left are for EK and the ones on the right are for DC-R, you can tell by th eouter two on each set... the part that bolts to the rear LCAs!

HOLY CRAP nice stuff ya got there....
and you like your civics handling better than a RX7 R1 ??????????? reeeally? tell me more!

 

i am in

 

I've never been more jealous in my life ... Nice stuff! Post the install pics.

 

damn, definitely a nice suspension setup.

 

No difference. Just different build dates -- one set was build in Feb, and the other set was built in April. Both have the same dampener body and rod length. The only difference is the lower mounting piece for the rear units. They *look* different because I had them threaded on at different heights. These shocks are height adjustable independant of the spring perch, so you retain full suspension travel regardless how low you slam your car

Here's a pic that illustrates how the lower attachment point comes off -- which really is the only diff between the DC2-R and EK sets:

 

where can these be purchased from and what aare some prices...i've got a 96 EK hatch so i'm wondering how much you payed for your set

 

RandDMotorsports.com and AJ-Racing.com have them. Usually anywhere from $1650-1800 is the going price for a set. They're Buddy Club Racing Spec dampeners, manufactured by First.

 

You have entirely too much money!

Sweet set-up

 

Jeebus that's a lot of money. hope they are worth it and let us in on how they perform.

 

Those are nice pics...what kind of digital do you have?
