Default EF Wagon with Koni Yellows & ITR Springs

Documentation is slim to none on this setup for an EF... let alone a wagon.

What are the members thoughts on this?

OEM ITR spring rates:
front: 250lb linear
rear: 140-250lb progressive
.5" shorter than other integra springs.

ITR top hats and Koni Yellows.

My thoughts are that with the ITR springs being .5" shorter than the LS/GS/GSR springs, a higher spring rate, and the adjustable perches of the koni's, I should be able to dial in a near stock ride height that is setup nearly perfect for a Canadian daily driver. Crap roads, lots of snow, so on and so on. A .5" drop in the rear would be acceptable, but i want no drop in front. My OEM stuff is not tired, but I want a bigger smile on my face. I do not want to go 350/250linear of the Ground Controls, and I don't want to go lawn mower.


Look at the front springs (2nd image) where the top hats are is where they need to be installed. so the one on the left is on the lower perch and and requires about 2" of spring compression to fit, and the one of the left will be about 2.75" of spring compression to fit. Am i correct in thinking that the one on the left is the correct way to go to achieve goodness?

The rear's on the wagon are unique and i might have to play with the perches. I have them set to middle perch, expecting i might have to move them to the top perch.

I am also known to haul a lot of junk in my wagon.

Longtime member of civicwagon.com, no there is no information there.

I should add, the yellows are EF yellows.

should be fine, but you do know that the shock body for ef's are shorter then dc2. since they are progressive springs, you might actually have preload with a setup like this. if you had gone with a eg/dc2 shock body, you might be okay.
