Icon2 Suspension set up for del sol.

whats up Honda Tech!!

well my sol's stock suspension is becoming a bit soft and just ready to get a better stance on my shiz. so i've been doing my research for a few months now, i got a pretty good heading on what im gunna do, but i just wanted to see what other sol owners were running. Let me tell you IM NOT SLAMMING MY SOL!!!!. This car is being built for function not form. i just want to drop it, and get a more aggresive stance on her. I wanted to run skunk2 adj sleeves with the skunk2 sport shocks. that way i have a .5"-3" gap in order to find the right amount of drop. gunna get some pw jdm struts front and rear and all that noise. but i just wanna see what kind of suspensions people are running whether it be full coilovers or some hybrid sleeve set up. I dont mind spending the right amount of money but i would like to stay under 1k for the suspension itself. let me remind you im not slamming this car, so any daily functional suspension setup recommendations would be great.

CLICK HERE all of you curious about suspenion setups and their costs/reliability.

Progress CS-II is a good setup. Koni/Ground Control will also suit your needs and fit your budget. Personally, I have Function/Form Type 1's. They're rough for a DD, but noticeably increased traction, handling, and road feel, while drastically decreasing body roll. They're also adjustable.

You can get F7`s in black.

And I have the billet F7`s and I think they are worth every penny spent on them.

well i wanted to get skunk2 certified cause there is only 1 other del sol that has been.... but yeah i never really thought they were junk products...i mean considering they have a ton of title wins...call me crazy but seems that their stuff works, maybe not the best in suspension but thats why i ask.. also because they have the color combo i want on my sol again pulling me toward them.
