How about the SRR's that Viren was selling, great for dragging or tracking and decent for street if u dont live in a place with many pot holes.

i'm using ground control with a custom spring rate. As long as the rear isn't to stiff, driveablity should be ok. I think 6-700lbs is the most i would go in the rear if its a street car. You don't want to hit a bump on a turn and have the rear end kick out on you.

wow - 600 lbs. seems like a LOT - i have 450 lb. inserts in my 87 CRX si and when i hit an expansion joint like on a freeway onramp that mug bounces really sideways - maybe just a lighter car (~1800 lbs. right now) but i would hesitate to go further...

yea why the hell does this happen? same thing happens to me, i have skunk2 civic coilovers on my crx, and whenever it's a bump or anything on a turn, it hops...what gives? this normal i'm guessing? also in auto-x all it does is slide, it's like a frieken drift crx.
