The prices aren't bad, but how's the quality of their product?

 

Crap. That's all I'm going to say.

 

If the part moves in any way then stay away from Blox. If it is a dress up item that looks pretty and doesn't really support anything then sure why not.

 

please dont...no matter how attractive the price is

 

That's what I thought. What do you guys recommend? Just curious.

 

from cheapest up...

progress csII- 550
Koni/GC- 800
AMR- Round 1200-1300

There are a couple others in between...but this is what most will recommend.

 

What about the rest of the suspension? Control arms, etc...

 

LCA's do nothing other then release some unsprung weight...really not worth it. They look good though. Function 7 or OEM w/ES bushings, no other choices there IMHO.

Sway bar- Depends on how you want the car to handle...thats a personal preference. Will help reduce body roll greatly. Depending on the size of the bar you'll most likely need subframe reinforcement.

Camber kit(s)- Not needed unless your dropping moren than 2" or so.

Shock Tower Bars- Questionable, I use the Nuespeed bar in the front...I love it. Works well, better then my OEM unit.

 

I know the purpose of the parts, haha. Just wasn't sure what products you guys recommended. I'll post a pic of my car in a bit, to give you an idea of what I'm working with. I'm building a daily driven car, with the occasional track visits and spirited weekend driving.

 

-Koni/GC
-OEM LCA's w/Energy Suspension Bushings
-OEM Front sway bar (if your car doesn't have one)
-OEM ITR rear sway or something of the sort..somewhere between 19-22mm
-Subframe reinforcement.
-Hard Race Master bushing kit, replace all that nasty old stuff

Your set to jet sir.

 

As she sits right now. No name coils, Advan rgII's, stock d16.

 

Thanks for the input man. Camber adjustment is a must. Skunk2 and Blox are the only products I've really seen put to use locally, and I wasn't impressed with either.

 

I used BC front and SPC rear camber kits on my old DC2, gladly vouch for both of them. Amazing and still holding up strong (sold the car to my buddy)

Cheers

GL man.

 

Thanks!

What do you guys think of the KSport products?

 

 

Camber adjustment is not a "must."

I've been ~2.5" in the front and 2.25" in the rear for 9,000 miles now and I've yet to do a rotation and my tires look fine.

I drove my dumped civic in high school without a camber kit for 2 sets of tires, never had uneven wear. Hated the ride height on that car, but I never had wearing issues.

I have to think that people getting "camber wear" are the dumbasses who don't get their cars aligned after they change their ride height or bushings.

 

I agree, maybe I should have said "want", haha.

 

We have used quite a few sets of blox drag suspension with great luck.

They are almost identical to the omni drags.

 

Why are Blox crap?

 

They jumped on the bandwagon.

 

Generally blox is a lower quality product, that will require replacement much sooner then other companies. I can't speak on their coilovers, because I have no experience with them, however, I can say I would not buy them.

Their endlinks on the other hand, suck. Mine are less then a year old and need to be replaced.


K sport/D2 get the same treatment, junk.


For the camber kits, from what I have been SPC seems to be the best. I have heard great things about BC camber kits also. The Sk2 kits are a wash, between bad reviews and good ones.

I had a sk2 rear camber kit for about 2 months before I threw them out. Very noisy when hitting bumps, and the bushings weren't looking all to good. I would not use them again.
