Default I want to spend 2k - 2.5k USD on suspension, what setup?

This is for an all out autoX car, Civic EG 6 with B18C5 swap, 190whp. Fully stripped interior, running slicks on the track. I must be able to adjust the dampers in rebound & pressur in installed condition with a special tool or srewdriver.

What is the best suspension for this car, what spring rates to go with.

hm, Zeal type S6, Fightex, Tein? I need experince from an PRO who drives an EG6 and has an all out AutoX suspension. THANKS ALOT!!!!!!

I have the same vehicle setup, with RG coilovers (racing gear). I think list is about $2,400-$2,500 usd. You get your choice of spring rates, and the shocks have a adj lower portion. great great shocks. unfortuneatley, not too many people know about them.

I would look for a suspension system that has the following:

1. A least 1 way adjustable shock
2. Adjustable spring perch
3. Adjustable shock body length
4. Custom spring rates
5. A local service center/shop that can revalve them in a timely manner.
6. (Optional) Lightweight aluminum construction

There are more trick features that you could find in some shocks (i.e. inverted mounting, 3 way shocks, remote reservoir...) but for autocrossing the above mentioned items should be enough.

My vote would be Advanced Design double adjustables. They go for $1600/set plus $220 more for springs.
