what sort of suspension setups and spring rates are you guys running?

 

All factory, as it came off the showroom floor. Just learning the ropes until I can afford to step up... maybe next year.

 

yea, but that's an ITR factory suspension. i can't go out there and race my '88 civic hatchback STD suspension.

 

a lil off topic here, but the Rivergate Accord, I have been looking at:

It has inverted suspension set up, I know the rules for HC say that this is not allowable for H5 but I was wondering if changing the suspsension back over will be that difficult or even that worth it?

Any help will be appreciated, sorry to get off topic

 

Inverted shocks are ok, just not remote resevoirs

 

ok thanks

 

Similar car: '88 crx si. eibach ers 500lbs front 700 rears, with koni yellow single adj. revalved shocks, running no front sway bar, yes stock rear bar. This is pretty common setup for these kinds of cars that works great.

 

Inverted shocks are legal as long as the original attachment points are used.
It's an H5 car.

Shocks (bilsteins/Konis are the most common), coilovers, and race springs are the typical setup. Longer wheelbase cars typically add a big honkin' rear swaybar.

 

Somewhat similar to Hracer's:
89 CRX Si - 450 Front, 600 Rear
Koni Yellow Single Adjustables (now shortened) revalved
Stock rear bar, no front bar.

 

would a zeal function b6 w/ circuit spring rates be enough to be competitive in echc?

 

ya can be competitive on a bone stock suspension. just ask Williams!!!!!

i bought my complete suspension used 3 years ago for $300. its Tokico shocks with 400lb Skunk springs and perches.

I'm semi competitive

You are better off spending lots of money on more track time and less money on parts. Trust me.

good luck

Yup. Though having trick parts is always nice
