Hey everyone.
I have a 1993 Honda Civic del Sol Si that I have built for the occasional open lapping/road race events. I recently had the OBD1 JDM GSR motor tuned. It made a healthy 198/138 to the wheels. Here's the current setup:
Suspension:
- Skunk2 Pro-S V2 coil-overs: 10K front, 8K rear springs
- Buddy Club extended ball joints
- Skunk2 Pro-Series camber adjusters
- Skunk2 Black Series lower control arms with red polyurethane bushings
- Black BWR sub-frame brace
- BEAKS 22mm Integra Type-R sway bar
- unknown manufacturer upper strut bar
Rims/Tires (track):
- 15" bronze Rota Circuit 10
- BF Goodrich Rival S 205/50/15 front and back
Brakes:
- DC2 front knuckles/spindles
- Re-drilled Brembo blank 11.1" Prelude SR-V rotors
- Integra Type-R calipers
- Hawk HP+ pads front
- Hawk HPS rear
- Russell braided stainless-steel brake lines
- 1" Integra Type-R master cylinder and booster
I'm going to get the alignment sorted soon since it's been a little while. The last time I had it done I had the front wheels set to 2.5* negative camber with a slight toe-in (I can't remember the exact degree) and the rears were set to 1.0* negative with a neutral toe. It's worked really well to date but I'm wondering if anyone has tried other settings that they've found effective. If I were to increase the rear camber I'd need to invest in a set of rear camber adjusters. The 1.0* seems to be the max you can manipulate the stock suspension.
Thanks!
Edit: I corrected the camber settings - I had the wrong numbers.
