93 Civic hatchback B16 with I/H and open header. 14" Azenis 20 psi. Stock rear springs and shocks.

60 ft was 2.333

Is my stock suspension killing me? Do I have to switch to a stiffer rear shock and spring combo to get in to the 2.1 range on street tires? I really enjoy my stock height. I got tired of riding low and stiff in my old cars.

 

lower the psi on the tires....i've noticed that on a soft sus. set-up the car tends to float on the top end of the track...but thats after 110mph...we tired stock springs and got the same exact 60ft. on a all motor car...

 

I think I will try 15 psi next time.

 

Don't be ghetto
get a WHOLE suspension setup (or at least cut ALL 4 springs)

 

Dude I am ghetto fab. Really though I was enjoying being at stock height. Being low gets boring after a couple of years.

 

damn, I cut a 2.09 on 175/50/13's A008II's at 28 psi.

Learn to drive first.

600+ passes at the track is a excellent teacher.

I'm using Eibach Prokit springs and stock 160k miles shocks.

1.81 is my best 60 foot on 20x8x14 MT slicks.

 

we have stock suspension all the way around on 89 hatch - ran it tuesday in Denver (5800ft elevation) - 1.82 60ft with M/T 20x8x14 slicks at 11psi - launched at 5200rpm - stock DOHC ZC at 1610lbs with driver - 14.006 @ 96.03

I am still trying to master my launch. I have not been draging this setup lately. I was just wondering if my stock springs were to soft to get a 2.1 60 ft with street tires. No slicks for me yet though. No $$$$ right now.

 

Vivid,

I went to Palmdale two days ago...finally cut a 2.1 60 footer on Azenis I was @ 20psi, launching at 5Krpm.

Just dropping the clutch too, No feathering? What size tires?
I will go back again just to try to hit a 2.1.

 

No...I feathered a bit. 205/15/15 azenis. 5000 rpm. Hondata launch control
