the title says what i've collected.
i bought a Civic si for 500 with everything, i had to unwrap it from a tree.
i bought a CRX for 800, it has a salvage title. i have fixed all cosmetic damage and got it in legal condition.
the CRX is in the body shop having the kit installed.
front bumber, fenders, side skirts, rear quarters, and rear bumper are becoming one unified piece.
i need a litle help on teh know how of the suspension system so i know how to tear it down, rebuild it, sell it, and buy a aftermarket one.
i am going to need to add alot of distance from stock placement and don't really know how.
what would be a GRIP only set up.
i wanna take 90 degree turns at 100. <--- insert sarcasm.
whta would be a good suspension, brake, and basic bolt on set up.
it's new power plant a PR3-3 1999 B16a out of a USDM honda civic si.
soon to get a B20 block...

 

Most people i've heard of use Tokico's with ground control coilovers since they are budget friendly. Most big brake set ups you have to run 17s, but that would be ok since you have the wide body kit. If you didn't want aftermarket brakes and/or go with a smaller tire you could look at integra brake conversion ( type R probably) or you could look into nsx brakes. The easiest/most cost-effective way to get the most power out of a b16 would be to turbo it.

 

i'm running 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear. whats a good big break company i can buy an entire set up from? encluding rear conversion kit?
anyone know where i can get a suspension break down schematic so i can figure out what goes where and how it goes there?
before i go ripping into my good stock one i wanna understand how honda does their set ups.
i am a serious noob at all of this and turbo is a NO NO. i don't have the time and money for all that aftermarket stuff. i can't afford tearing my 80k mile engine down to upgrade perfectly fine parts. i want port and polishes, intakes, super chargers, injectors, exhaust, computer work, and other simple bolt ons.
i'm going to build a CR-Vtec for all that wild crazy custom stuff.
and because i'm building that engine in the future there is no reason to compromise the integrity of my perfectly fine motor.

 

So I walked in here expecting "WTF," and was not disappointed. I leave with this

 

Why? Why would you ruin a crx with a body kit like that?

 

cant wait to see pics of the 18x10 on the poor little crx

 

 

well 18x9 on this one of mine..... rode fantastic!!!



worst mistake ever of getting rid of that car....ive never had a running and driving honda since....

 

^^^ No comment on this post, or the op's post...

 

well, my father bought me my first car when i was 13 when he as in florida doing reconstruction after hurricane charlie. he fell off a roof and passed away.
he had bought me the body kit to go with the car as a graduation present.
i sold the first CRX HF hunk of red junk for 800 and bought the Black SI off DOOM!
D15 98 horses of PURE POWER!!!! D:
anyways, i am now at the point of dry icing the interior to get that nasty black crap out of there and going to powder coating the entire interior.
my father bought this for me and would have loved to see it finished, so, if you could please spare me the crap and slack, i would appreciate the help.

otherwise i'll leave this forum and tell everyone else to never use it.
please and thanks.

 

thanks buddy.
the understeer can be combatted by a good adjustable suspension but idk what a "GOOD ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION" is for a set up like this or even a honda.
i'll be looking forward to your positive imput.

 

with the added depth of the fenders they will look just fine. they will pretty much take up the entire fender well after i space them out accordingly.

 

allow me to post this again so noone else put their foot in their mouth.

my father bought me my first car (88' HONDA CRX HF) when i was 13 when he as in florida doing reconstruction after hurricane charlie. he fell off a roof and passed away.
he had bought me the body kit to go with the car as a graduation present.

 

Seriously kid? You reported me? But whatever. GL with your build.
